Anant was a pure joy as a tour guide. The pride he had for his hometown and for Gujarat overall was evident in his enthusiasm and the wealth of knowledge that he shared. He delivered information about the temples and stepwells in such an entertaining way that you never felt as though you were on the receiving end of a lecture. Anant added a few impromptu stops along the way that really added to the color of our experience. We also never felt rushed. He let us take our time to absorb the sights, sounds, and information, while still hitting all the places and more. I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Anant!

Very friendly and competent guide. The attractions on the tour are well worth seeing. Because we drove to the sights, we also got to see a lot of the city. Haven't regretted anything. Would book it again

Very easy to install on an iPhone 14, just scanned the QR code to install before I left the UK and as soon as I landed in Goa the ESim started to work. No issues at all

Chip worked everywhere but it is not possible to route the internet.

Very interesting tour. super cultured guide. To advice!
