Goa – is known as “Pearl of the Orient” and a “Tourist Paradise”, it is located on the western coast of India in the coastal belt known as Konkan. The magnificent scenic beauty and the architectural splendors of its temples, churches and old houses have made Goa a firm favorite with travellers around the world. But then, Goa is much more than just beaches and sea. It has a soul which goes deep into unique history, rich culture and some of the prettiest natural scenery that India has to offer. Much of the real Goa is in its interiors, both inside its buildings and in the hinterland away from the coastal area

The Panjim of today still exudes that old charm, with typical Portuguese architecture mirrored in the houses and villas spread along the River Mandovi. Notable among the classic structures are the
Panjim Church, Palácio Patriarcal (Bishop’s Palace) and Palácio Idalcão (the present Secretariat) which was built by Adil Shah in 1492. We also stop at the fruit and vegetable market for guests to experience the sights and smells of Goa. Our tour then proceeds to Old Goa, which was the old capital of Goa.
