What you will experience

Our tour begins at Saipem through the traditional routes and khazans of Goa. Along the way we will enjoy some exquisite aspects of traditional Portuguese architecture, in particular, in some of the beautiful chapels, we encounter along the way, as we ride through narrow by-lanes towards Saligao village. 

Having enjoyed our explorations of some of the Portuguese houses in the area, we ride on to the famous Salmona Spring where we can catch our breath and enjoy some lively selfie moments. On the ride back we will stop by at a historical Indo-Portuguese house belonging to the oldest Feni distillers in Goa. This should turn out to be quite a fun affair as you learn all about the making processes of Goa’s legendary alcoholic beverage.
