Priyanka weaved stories in and around the local history, architecture, and cultural migrations. She knows just the right timing and place for every story, reference, and to draw connections. Not a dull moment with these stories and so much beauty in the churches she took me to!

I’ve been to old Goa three times and I’m very keen on Christian art but Adolfina showed us many, many things we had not seen before or even realised were there - we were blown away by this tour! Adolfina is a very interesting and knowledgeable guide able to tell us many stories and point out so many unusual things we simply could not have got out of any guidebook. I feel so privileged to have done this tour meeting nuns and seeing inside so many beautiful structures. Thank you so much Adolfina! I hope we can meet again one day. I feel so inspired to find out more about the history of Christian’s in Goa.

The trail was amazingg! My second time around on this trail and loved it. Adolfina was amazing and very kind. Got to learn a lot and see a lot. Couldn’t have asked for a better ambassador on this trail. Even on a repeat trail there’s always so much to learn and experience. Ended with a great goan snack and chai! Def recommend to everyone.

The experience was truly of a kind ,Priyanka as our guide .Bob was being a delight . Priyanka is a real story teller ,her expressive prowess is mind blowing.Her thouroughness and attentuon to detail is worth a mention here .Loved the whole trail .

Our Story teller Pinyaka was fabulous. She had so much knowledge and passion Starting and meeting at a nice cafe and having a local breakfast was a fitting start to a great 4 hrs

Our trail was amazing and historic for us as we went on a nostalgic educational trip about the deep roots of Goan heritage. Visiting Goan houses inspired and made by the Portuguese and churches with old history was the most fun I had on this day. Our trip for the day was over but we wanted to spend so much more time with the guides Adolfina and Pankaj. We shared stories, laughed and enjoyed on a terrific day full of history in offbeat Goa with Soul Travelling ❤️ The architecture was mind blowing and the churches and houses we visited was extremely beautiful. We ended our trip with an amazing meal of Goan delicacies. This was a fun new change for us and we will surely do this again and return for more Soul Travelling.

Me and my friends went out for something new and special to enjoy our trip to goa. Us 16 year olds, being from Mumbai were very interested by the deep roots of Goa that people don't talk about much. One of my closest friend aarya, trying to make her career in architecture was very interested to do this trail. Me and my friend shramya being obsessed with history we joined in with the excitement to take this as a new adventure to educate ourselves with the wonderful views of Goa. We visited many churches and homes of old and South Goa and understood the deep history behind it all. We were astonished by the churches from the 1400's and houses aging back to almost 700 years old. Our guides were so helpful and wholesome. We didn't once feel like outsiders and we never lost interest. We loved talking to them and sharing stories as well. We were always welcomed and taken care of. We met some amazing people on the way and visited beautiful Goan/indo-portugese/Indo-European homes. They took us in with open arms and showed us around. We saw the architecture and tools people used back then way before electricity and modern technology. We saw the genius innovative minds the people used in those times. Our overall experience was terrific and we will surely return to do all the trails and meet more amazing people and visit mindblowing architectural sites and homes. I would love to spend more time with the people i met and talk to them about the history of this state and country. This was surely extremely memorable for us and very fun for sure! - Shree Kutty.

What makes the whole concept of the tour is the tour guide. This tour was a clear proof of this argument. My guide Adolfina was just so engaged, professional, knowledable and experienced at her work. I was thinking a tour focusing simply one form of architecture, which is church, might be boring. However it turned to be very interesting because of magic touch of my dear guide Adolfina. She is into the topic, she is at the center. She is not showing it. She plays the story and also takes you in it. I really enjoyed alot also their lunch box. It was super fresh and delicious. The route was perfect, the start and the end. It was really poetic and a greatly studied route. One little suggestion would be that being in a new environment, taking pictures is an important thing to live the moment in memories. So maybe guide can suggest some good spots to take good pictures too. She is a great person, I highly recommend you to have her as your guide.

The tour was fascinating and really enriched my experience of Goa. I learnt about history, art and tradition in the region with its many cultural layers. My guide was really inclusive and helpful in guiding our small group around these historic cultural sites. As well as this sensitivity was shown to people of all backgrounds and religions. I could easily do this tour again as there was so much to learn and experience. On top of all of this, the group was gifted delicious Goan delicacies, which was completely unexpected, as well as a soul travelling light weight carry bag. Really thoughtful operators, safe and kind.

The walking tour of the Christian Art Trail was one of the highlights of our visit to Goa. Bob and Karan were a great team. Not only did they provide history of the art and architecture of the three standing churches, one church site now in ruins and the artifacts in the museum we visited - they were able to answer all kinds of general questions that came their way. The tour takes you to places about a mile away from the main tourist area of Old Goa, so it really completed our day as we were able to take in the other sites in addition to the Christian Art Trail. After the walking tour, we enjoyed tea and snacks with our hosts which really made the entire experience special. We highly recommend this tour and look forword to signing up for other trails that Soul Travelling offers.

Adolfina was great. She had great bits of information that i’ll take back and remember the next time I travel anywhere. The locations were great and so were the stories

Adolfina was the the sweetest host we could have asked for. Her insights and sense of humour made our entire day.

Priyanka accompanied us - she was full of stories and interesting anecdotes that made our trip fun - she is passionate and enthusiastic. The trail is steeped in history so people who want to understand the goan history and culture - this is a must do!

The Christian Art trail in Old Goa was simply amazing! Our guide Bob was simply amazing... brimming with information, interactive nature and such a warm person completely invested in the history and important of some of Goa's most spectacular sites... The church of Our Lady of the Rosary, Museum of Christian Art, the ruins of the Augustine tower, the church of Our Lady of Grace and the Royal chapel of St. Anthony....these sites were like gold dust for a person like me who is fond of history... I just realised how much of Goa I've not seen even after living here for 28 years... I would like to thank the team at Soul Travelling... you'll truly are doing such amazing work!!! Look forward to going on more trails and seeing more of Goa soon!!! All the very best!!!

It was an awesome experience. Bob was so good with his explanations, very well versed in the details of all the art effects in the museum. It was a lovely interactive trail. All the best to Soul Travelling team

We were hosted by the awesome Bob Abreo who showed us a Goa I lived in for years but rediscovered it today! The Museum of Christian Art is a place I'll be visiting often now, such a serene place. Bob gave us a good rundown of the history and art of the places, looking forward to more amazing memories with soul traveling ❤️

This was our 2nd walking tour with Soul Travelling and Bob. We were so engrossed in the stories that we never stopped despite the rain. Bob and his associates made sure we were always comfortable and entertained. We learnt so much about the history of Old Goa! It makes the world of a difference when you have such knowledgeable guides. We also loved the snack stop at the end which was like a trip down our childhood memory lane. Thank you Bob (and the lovely associates)! I hope you guys expand into different parts of India and Europe.

We wanted to know the real Goa when we planned our visit, this experience really helped us to achieve that. Our guide Mr.Frazer was truly an enthusiastic ,he explained everything and answered all our questions. He made this whole experience really a beautiful journey through the Portuguese Era in Goa.

We knew Goa had more to offer than beaches and raves. Adolfina made us believe we were right in our guess. Having little knowledge of Portuguese rule and Christianity in India, we were initially apprehensive when booking the tour. Adolfina started with the basics and weaved the story so beautifully that we could imagine the stories coming alive. Loved the simplicity she carried and the insights we found through the walk, which otherwise would have been just ruins or a touristy place for pictures. I hope more people attend the walks with Adolfina and Soul Traveling because our history and heritage are extremely rich and it's worth indulging in. The nuances in architecture and the carvings are the main highlights for me, personally. We got free goodies to top it up and heartfelt prayers by Adolfina as we came closer to the end. It was an overwhelming experience. Loved it. Would keep coming back for more.

Amazing trail with Adolfina who loves goa christianism and history! Really recommand to book this tour to discover the strength of portuguese presence here
