    We had a great tour with Mario through Panji. He explained very detailed the history of the old town. We even had the chance to had a bite of local snacks and were able to see an old family building from back then. We can highly recommend Mario as an excellent guide!

    Mario was exceptional. Professionalism exemplified. He is a local who carries unbiased unadulterated updated information both current and historic and very engaging in his delivery of the facts. Every bit of the tour was well arranged and top notch execution. No hiccups whatsoever. One of our group members had a small cut while getting off the bus, Mario made it unnecessary to find any medical store. He was prepared with a first aid kit. (kinda expected from a tour guide but no one expects they'll actually carry it. You know what I mean?) Yeah so the overall experience was worth down to the last coin. Locals like Mario adds to the beauty of Goa.

    Taking a tour with Mario is an absolute MUST if you’re visiting Goa. He provided so much information about the various historical sites, and shuttled us in air conditioned comfort. He answered any and all of our questions, and made sure that we had a great time seeing and learning about the different areas of Goa.

    Amazing walk through Fontainhas with Mario, who grew up in the area and holds a wealth of information about the neighborhood. He answered each and every question we had and pointed out interesting details we otherwise wouldn't have noticed. He even recommended a few shops we could visit later on throughout our trip, which we did and ended up having wonderful experiences with locals. Truly a wonderful experience, thank you Mario.
