Wow experience & a memorable Heritage walk indeed!
Feb 2022
This was unexpectedly one of the most amazing heritage walks I have been on.
Make it happen team's storyteller Nelson, who conducted the walk, is such an amazing storyteller. The overall experience was fun, happening and so much of history and knowledge , I remember myself saying 'Wow' and OMG a lot on the heritage walk as I was exposed to the spaced with the history of the Portuguese and the Churches, the Cathedral and the Chapels.
This was such an insightful walk.
For the First timers, do ensure you take the early morning Old Goa Heritage walk and then post that experience, take the Fontainhas Heritage walk (to make it a wholesome experience).
I highly recommend the Make It Happen team for an Old Goa heritage walk folks who are interested in fun & in history in general.
Highly knowledgeable and delightful experience filled with walking, talking & fun.

Goldmine called Old Goa Heritage Tour
Truly this has been a treasure trove of a tour and has been a gem of an experience!!!
I have visited these places in Goa at least 8 times since childhood but newer understood or comprehended on the historical significance until this tour
And what a tour it has been... Magnificent Gold mine!
The host Ms. Raysancia was at her immaculate best and like a true magician she unboxed the secrets one by one as we wandered around old Goa.
Like a jigsaw puzzle; she helped hit all the pieces and helped us understand a perspective on colonization; past history; inquisition all in a matter of 3 hours

Walk through Old Goa with Young Ray!
A wonderful walk through Old Goa monuments that talk to you about the rich history of the region - but only if you are lucky enough to have a knowledgeable narrator. And we were indeed lucky to have Raysancia (Ray) from Make It Happen guide us through! We started at 9am, and found the early start to be great as most of Goa is still waking up and you have all the heritage buildings to yourself.

I was at this walk on a very busy day before the feast of St.Francis Xavier. Old Goa was colourful with patrons attending the mass. Raysancia was wonderful. She took her time explaining the prominence of each church. The colourful chapel of the architect who constructed the church was a surprise. The old Goa after a night of rains, the greenery and the coconut plantations all around and the Mandovi river, was a beautiful sight.
A Great Walk through the corridors of power and piety!

A wonderful, guided tour through the rich architectural grandeur and religious traditions of the Portuguese, well choreographed to understand the evolution of a chapter of Goan history that involved negotiations among local and foreign powers. It wasn't merely the monuments that were introduced but also the stories of power of those who had and those who were dominated. Nelson did a great job.

I am fond of heritage and history and this tour served me right. Amreen is an amazing and passionate story teller. I literally got goosebumps everytime she would talk about the history of the arches, monuments, rivers, bridges and churches. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to connect with the journey that Goa has gone through over the years.
