This experience was a lovely one. In terms of logistics I was able to add another friend who wanted to come at the last minute, and we were immediately accommodated. Our hotel was not on the list of pick-up spots, but we were also immediately accommodated by our tour operator. Our driver John was very wonderful and patient with us and as we drove he answered all our questions about Goa and India and even shared a little of himself. He always reminded us that we were not in a rush so that we could experience everything and was very attentive. This is a very nice tour if you want to experience some nature and Goa in its natural elements and to observe people at the temples and churches and selling their wares. We learned a lot at the Spice Plantation and it was great to see and smell all the growing spices that we know and love and some new ones and our guide was very knowledgeable.
