This was my second tour with Five Senses after the Panjim walk. Old Goa was equally fascinating. We had a blast as we visited the old Portugese layouts with magnificent churches. Each had a remarkable story and out guide really kept us interested with his insights . Very highly recommended.

Sawani gave us a brilliant day in Old Goa and Panjim. She was full of good information and interesting narrative, but she is also wonderfully deliberate but candid in sharing her views, and kind to old people like us. She had a fine sense of how to corral way four wayward old whitehairs around, even in the throng at Bom Jesu. Lunch was at a modern local restaurant was delicious (Sawani chose for us), and the nice car and Ashok the driver made us comfortable and safe all day. Sawani gave us delicious treats after our visit to the Hanuman temple. While we liked and admired the colonial sites of Portuguese settlement in India, we were most grateful for the temple visit. Sawani guided us in making a sacrifice of oil, and invited us to sit on the floor among the worshippers as long as we liked. We were lucky to visit on a day of the week on which the temple's deity, Hanuman, is especially venerated. We were there with a variety of the faithful, young and old. This part of the visit was not about antiquity or art history, but about being among people living their lives.
