    Jenny was an amazing guide and the -chauffer-guide combo of Jenny and Deepak was amazing. We messed up our booking dates and Viator along with the local partner were not only helpful, customer service was a class. Between Jenny, Deepak, Viator and their local partners they made the tour memorable.

    The highlight of our day in Goa was just as much the sights and city as it was our phenomenal guide. A well spoken, highly educated and dedicated gentleman who made our visit memorable. As per our request to purchase Indian spices, he went far out of his way to accommodate us even to the point of searching throughout a village market to find spice vendors and then assisting us on our purchase. We thank Viator for hooking us up with such a superb guide. He is A1.

    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
