Highlights of Goa - full day shore excursion

One of the city's most popular sights is Fountanhas, a residential area in the old city. It was declared as UNESCO world heritage site. Today, many of the buildings are converted in hotels, villas, art galleries, cafés. A very nice area to discover together!

Dona Pula hill station, 360 degree view, is one of the best places to have a full overview of the area. Just some steps to climb to get a great scenario!

I will bring you to the Spice plantation surrounded by nature, where you will have also the opportunity to see some elephants, and a small river. You can take a local guided tour to learn about the different plantations during a pleasant walk.

I will make sure that you will get the best experience to let you go with pleasant memories!

*Best time to visit here is from October to May to avoid the monsoon season (June to September)
