I am very disappointed with this tour company and Viator. Our cruise ship was arriving later than planned, so I contacted the operator days before to arrange a time change. They agreed and then showed up at the original time and claimed we were a no-show. Despite me having a record of the conversation, Viator refused a refund. Very unprofessional conduct all round. I would definitely not recommend this company. I would have cancelled if I had known.

The day trip we had to North Goa was excellent. Our tour guide, Mr. Caesar Pareira , went with us and did a fantastic job of narrating the locations we went. We reserved a private tour for three-person in a sedan car. What we ended up with, though, was a small car, where the three of us had to cram into the back. When we asked the tour operator M/s Yo Tour (I believe they are the local operators that get contracts from Trip Advisor) to provide a roomier car, one of their staff members replied that was their standard procedure and that we would have to reserve a car for five people. Later on, though, we learned from the driver that M/s Yo Tour had the option to switch to one of their roomier vehicles. The driver also revealed that these tour companies don't have offices in Goa; instead, they outsource contracts. Here, we offer our insights to help our fellow travelers learn from our mistakes. Due to the fact that the tour companies' overall fees are far more than the value of the services they provide. If such a service is scheduled locally from Goa, the cost could be almost halved. Our tour guide, Mr. Caesar Pareira, was outstanding, and we heartily suggest other travelers seek him out.

Super informative tour with our wonderful guide Joaquim (Joe), we had 2 and a half hours packed with history and trivia. It's a great way to get a taste of this quaint old city

Scam/bait-and-switch alert! 5 months before my planned visit, I booked a tour for 3 for $89, saying I was on a cruise ship. Confirmed everything 2 months later (via TripAdvisor's messaging.) 5 days before the tour I asked where I would be met at the port. No response. The night before the tour -- after I’d paid and online cancelation was no longer an option -- Yo Tours wrote to me via Whatsapp instead of thru TripAdvisor's messaging saying I was outside their range and they couldn't pick me up; instead I'd have to find a taxi at the port to go to a train station. There I would then need to take a second taxi provided by YoTours, which would charge me 4000 rupees ($50 USD.) 6 minutes later they sent another WhatsApp message saying I needed to confirm now, because they needed to book the taxi. I said I assume if I did not confirm they would refund my money and they said no, they would count it as a no-show. I kept asking why they hadn't said any of this to me before, but they ignored the question (and wouldn't answer my phone calls.) But the reason was clear: they wanted me to cancel so they could keep the money. I asked how I was to find them if I took these 2 taxis, and they said to meet them at a large church, but said they would not have a sign and that they would not have vehicles saying "YoTours." So I was supposed to meet unidentified people, without any proof that they worked for the company! The women I was to do the tour with got nervous, as this seemed extremely sketchy, so I told YoTours I was canceling and that I would complain to TripAdvisor and seek a refund. THEN the day of the tour, the provider wrote messages to me via TripAdvisor to create the false impression (if TripAdvisor reviewed the messages) that we had an agreed upon place and were waiting for me and didn't know why I wasn't showing up. In reviewing recent reviews I noted several in the past year that complained about last minute bait and switches by the company. Beware! They couldn't have been more unpleasant or more unethical.

I would highly recommend this tour! We joined Anthony from a cruise ship with 2 children and our ship docked very late, but Anthony was fantastic at making the most of the time we had and being flexible with what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to stay at each stop. He was very knowledgeable about Goa and its history, and allowed us to feel very relaxed by making our safety and comfort his number one priority! He even RAN back to a market stall to collect a watch for my son who had desperately wanted it, but bartered too low 😅 The tour was also incredible value for money compared to the cruise ship excursions and covered all the “must see” sights. Anthony and Yo Goa Tours were also fantastic when it came to communicating our ship was arriving late and arranging a new start time and pick up place. Thank you, Anthony for a five star experience - according to my son, it was the best tour he’s every done! 🤩

Our guide was Joe who took us to see the local historical and contemporary sites. He was extremely knowledgeable and flexible with the day’s arrangements. We learnt so much about the interesting history of Goa. Vinod was a great driver. We had a wonderful day and I would really recommend.

We had an awesome tour of North Goa. Our guide Joe was extremely knowledgeable of Goan history and the impacts of the Portuguese. We tour many Catholic churches, a few Hindu temples and one of the highlights was the Dona Paula and forts. He answered all of our historical questions and was very friendly. We definitely recommend this tour and Joe!!!

The activity was cancelled at the last minute by the service provider. Refund is still awaited.

I m so happy with stay at karma . And staff is also very good. I like the stay in karma. Great experience staying at Karma Palms Very good hospitality ..also the hotel is family & kids friendly ...a few staff would like to mention crupa , defeni

The tour is an amazing experience. Anand was very knowledgeable and showed us a true Goan experience with churches. We could spend as much or as little time at various stops. We had lunch at Viva Panjim and that was a delightful stop. Walk through Fontainas is a must. There are little bakeries that you go past and definitely worth stopping in them. Just need to ensure that you have something to cover up legs/shoulders while going through active churches.

We had a very fulfilling day tour of North Goa. We learned about the history and culture of the city and enjoyed visiting everywhere on the itinerary. Our tour guide was wonderful and treated us to an afternoon drink and suggested the perfect lunch location on the beach. Our driver took us safely all around town. Highly recommend!

It Is we'll organized. The guide Is gentle and has a good conversation. The group also was ok. It Is suggested to visit latin city and best pubs.

Great trip with options. Guide offers multiple avenues and excellent history. Driver also stayed while we ate lunch at the best fusion restaurant!

we requested SUV for sight seeing with driver & guide. Instead guide came in a smaller sedan with driver. I was charged for SUV 100.00 $. They could not get replacement SUV. Guide was good. I was unhappy about this situation

Lovely tour guided by Joaquim (Joe) and a driver. Joaquim is a Vasco local with tons of experience and knowledge. He introduced us to the next destination during our drive there and then we were also guided by others during 3 of the 6 stops (museum, Portuguese mansion and spice plantation). He recommended a Portuguese mansion tour instead of the Big Foot stop and we were very pleased. Lots of variety was appreciated. Large airconditioned car was great. Skip Colva beach if you're already going to another more secluded beach. Colva is a standard, fairly busy beach. Tour took roughly 8 hours. You'll be charged an additional reasonable pick up fee if your pick up location is not in/around Margao. Make sure you have WhatsApp installed on your phone (available on Android/Iphone) to communicate. The tour operator contacted as you via WhatsApp.
