A fantastic tour from start to finish. Mr Anand our tour guide and Mr Ikbal (sp), picked us up from our hotel and privately drove us to Goa's finest attractions. It was an interesting mix of old and new, and provided us with a real insight into the real Goa. A brilliant journey, and the best day. Thx
