If you are person who wouldn’t want to spend a long time in planning the whole trip, just like me, then you can take this. What I did was I planned south Goa by myself and we took the North Goa trip this entire tour package. I am glad to have taken this. We covered major attraction of North Goa is very short duration.

"We booked south Goa sight seeing tour for 3 people. They guided us really well. Specially Pooja the girl working there, who is been polite and helpful. She gaves every bit of information. She picks calls at any time and provides details.\n\nThen the trip drivers picks us around 8:50am. \nWe visited every place as mentioned in the trip. \nAnd they park around good restaurants too. \n\nHighlight of this package is boat cruise which we need to pay 300 per head. It's good in boat. Everyone enjoys themselves. "

The Dudhsagar Trek in Goa is brilliant. After being to Goa just to roam around and loiter in the beach for so many times, we wanted to have a really lovely trip that is adventurous too. That’s when we decided to do the Dudhsagar trek and it was just too brilliant. We drove till the meeting point from Bangalore, and we joined with the other folks there and we had a really brilliant time trekking. The beauty of western ghats can be totally experienced if you drive through for this trek. Also, this trek is just too brilliant and tedious too.

"I was the only one who was tagged along with a Russian tourist group....as I got into the van I was like wow....I'm the odd one out...anyways,the tour guide,Irena was very considerate to explain me the places in English...we visited the old goa churches and after tat we hit the glorious dudhsagar falls.....it was just spectacular view and a cooling swim,and the ride to it was just bumpy and crossing the streams were adventurous,not a everyday thing u do....returning back was the long ride back to our lunch,which was held at the spice plantation,to my expectations it's was just less than a 20min. tour seemed to be held at the back yard rather than being taken through the large field of spices...so I guess the tour title should have more of spice garden than of plantation(or maybe I expected too much out the word \"plantations\"... lol)...moving on,it was all in all a memorable trip...I advise everyone who's travelling alone to take it....and finally to the tour organisers,kindly enquire prior the preferential language of communication,than just tagging anyone with a foreign group...I was cool enough to consider it as a new experience,others might not feel the same....Hey,to my surprise I also made some interesting conversation with Russian tourist,you'll never know wat life brings to Ur experience as go exploring the world."

"Very well tailor made trip, covers almost all south goa attractions. starts with Miramar beach where you can go for a dolphin trip after paying additional 300. then dona Paula, then two beautiful churches, shanta durga vijayante temple, then mangeshi temple, and in the evening boat cruise which is optional but recommended , you need to pay 300 for the same. Guide Mr. sameer is very friendly and knowledgeable."

Being in Goa is a nice experience. It is like a foreign island inside our own country, but covering the whole Goa in a single trip can be very tiresome. While we covered North Goa by ourselves, we too South Goa sightseeing package, and it was the best thing to do. It was a brilliant experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was worth every rupee spent.

This is worth the time to visit. Take swimming costumes as it is great to take a dip in the pool at the bottom of the falls. Take a few pieces of fruit to feed the monkeys but avoid buying from the local howkers as they will try to overprice and you only need a few pieces to get some great photo
