Very interesting to learn about the history of Goa and Margao. Our 8 year old son enjoyed it too - he said his favourite fact was that during the battles they never damaged the hospitals because they knew they might have to use them one day! Jade was very warm and welcoming. He kept asking us if we were ok and if we had any questions. Very considerate. Snacks at the end of the trip were nice too. 3 hours passed in no time!Thankyou Asher.

Gems which you can't get otherwise : 1)Interacting Miranda family descendants and a private tour of thier 400 year old home 2)Herb infused tea and snacks & sweets served in vintage crockery by warm Mrs. Mala and vivacious Mr. Miranda 3) Parisher singing the church choir song in the old Roman way 4) Revisit Portugese era relics If this is not delightful already , our ambassador Asher filled us in with intersting trivia ranging from church being lit on equinox , tree transported from Africa , church vs chapel. And Instagram worthy locales for a lifetime of stand out memories . Highly recommended. The 3 hours don't even register.
