We had the pleasure of being taken around the hidden gems to try the local feni cocktails and delicious goan specialities with the lovely bubbly Patulla.
She was very informative and good company. We had a great time with her!
The cocktails were all very yummy and sweet. Our favourite one was the signature cocktail in Kokum Curry and all of the dishes were delicious, but the pork roast in Welcom Heritage Panjim was just a cut above.
Thank you. Highly recommend!

An excellent experience with an extremely knowledgeable, informative and engaging guide - who has an evident pride and passion for Goan heritage.
We took the divar island with breakfast tour with Yuvraj. He shared the amazing history about Goa and divar island with us. All the points we saw were amazing, so was divar island itself. Will surely try more of make it happen tours.
My husband found this fontainhas walking tour through Google. I’m usually not a fan of walking tours and history. We booked for 6PM and went. It was just the 2 of us. Hinaz was our storyteller and did an exceptional job. Her enthusiasm and passion kept us engaged throughout the walk and made the tour very interesting. We got to try the traditional goan sweet and drink. We were given post card souvenirs and there was also a surprise performance by goan musician Maxie at the end of the tour which we loved. Highly recommend this experience!!
Our story teller Hinaz was amazing and so knowledgeable. The tour is nice and easy, and it opens your eyes to many things that you will never notice if you are waking solo there.
A The our full of history and delicious sweets and amazing local drink and music.
I strongly recommend this agency and Hinaz.

We were hosted by Petulla, whose enthusiasm and warmth made the tour special. She's a passionate storyteller who brought the rich history and culture of this place to life.
We are history buffs who love understanding cultural context. We were hooked on every word.
The tour was highly interactive and made us feel part of the story of Fontainhas.
She was very considerate, often pausing to let us take photos and even helping us capture some great moments.
Her hospitality was exceptional, with visits to quaint cafés, bakeries, and eateries, where she treated us to some of the best local delicacies, offering us a taste of history in the most literal sense.
The highlight of the tour was a musical performance organised exclusively for us, with a talent young lady singing songs in Konkani, Portuguese, and Spanish on a ukulele.
It's a must-do for anyone wanting to connect with the roots of the city.

The tours with make it happen were so nice that we even booked three tours in our time in Goa.
Hinaz showed us the portuguese quarter with a lot of interesting information, typical sweets and meeting an elderly Goan Gentleman, who played local folksongs for us. It was lovely!
Sejal did the Feni and Tapas Tour with us and it was just a good time, with a lot of laughs and sooo good food and Feni.
Shiv showed us Port Agua and we completed our picture of Goan History in this region of Goa.
The tours were so rich in information and at the same time light and fun. Thank you!
