Experience · Goa · 2 days
Four hundred and fifty years, told properly: the ruined capital, two family mansions, a restored fort, the Latin Quarter, and the Inquisition included rather than skipped.

Duration
2 days
Where
Old Goa, Panjim, Chandor, Loutolim and Reis Magos
Ideal for
Travellers with an interest in the colonial period

The Portuguese were in Goa from 1510 to 1961, longer than any other European power was anywhere in India, and the result is a genuinely hybrid culture rather than a veneer. This journey covers it end to end.

That includes the Goa Inquisition, which operated from 1560 and which most tours omit entirely. Our guides do not.

Highlights

  • Old Goa when it was bigger than Lisbon
  • Two family mansions shown by their families
  • Reis Magos fort, properly restored
  • The Inquisition included, not skipped
