    Meh! If you like churches and temples.. Fine. Otherwise this is not for you. Lots of sitting on a bus, 1 Hindu Temple, 2 old churches, one city market, ..best bit was a short walk through old Portuguese part of the town. Would not do this one again. Guide spent more time telling us about new roads and bridges we were driving on than anything we were driving past. Did not seem well organised… we had a couple with us that was sent to the wrong bus… and did the wrong tour. They should have gone to see the beach areas…. And in retrospect, probably so should we!

    Our guide, John (hope we have that right) did a good job of differentiating Goa from other places we have visited in India. His background is evident in his story telling and he made the day informative as well as fun with his enthusiasm for Goa.

    We had great expectations about Goa, unfortunately the area is not what it use to be. I am not sure even the best guide could have helped.
