"We were in port for a day and unfortunately you need more than a day (25 Jan) in Goa. The tour guide was excellent with a great sense of humour. The tour could have been better by visiting Goa beach for lunch or a snack before heading off to the wonderful churches and temples as we only had a short time there. Great value for money"..."
