Saligao Village Saunter

Oct 2021

Must Do in North Goa

Saligao is a small village in North Goa that has so much to offer. It is a beautiful one with paddy fields, coconut tree flanked roads, gorgeous old Indo-Portuguese houses, and a splendid church.

Over and above these points of interest, we were blown away by the history and stories of the early settlers of Goa and how the entire tour is woven around an eminent personality. What was amazing was that we got to visit this personality’s house, have high tea there, and even meet the people who are the direct descendants of the family we learned about in the story.

It was in all, one of the best tours we have done! Highly highly recommended!

Wonderful & Memorable
A good tour company with no-frills.

The storytellers, mostly very young and who are at the beginning of the career have been trained to acquaint themselves with the history of each location before they start entertaining the tourists. This is very evident because at each location they had the right information to convey and all very courteous.

For this tour we had Master Abhijit Ramesh as our story teller. Very sporty, soft spoken and fully acquainted with history behind each place of worship . He made sure that we did not miss any aspect of each building & Churches . He ensured that we left more than satisfied with Tour. The visit to Madam Rosa Bungalow was the Icing on the cake,

Each tour confirmation from Make it Happen had a web link so that we could go through the link and get prepared for the tour. The brochure which they had left at the Taj holiday Village travel desk was very well designed. Simple caricature and easy to understand text. Keep it up.

Wholesome Experience

I had traveled to Goa for a weekend in December and wanted to do something experiential and offbeat. A friend suggested I check out Make It Happen and their excursions around Goa seemed perfect for me.

The Saligao Village Saunter turned out to be a wholesome experience as we explored a quaint part of Goa that not many people consciously explore. Abhijith, who led the experience, was energetic, warm and welcoming. I am definitely signing up for more local experiences with Make It Happen whenever I’m back in Goa.

The Saligaon Saga

We loved the walk, starting with our story teller : Amreen, who beautifully captured the soul of Saligaon for us. We must have crossed the church, those beautiful heritage homes and the streets quite a few times, but never paused to know the stories behind them. It isnu2019t physically demanding as well, just in case thatu2019s a worry.

Must thank Murali who helped us with the bookings. Overall, would recommend the walk to everyone.
