Colonial Goa Tour with Rickshaw and Train Ride

Travelling by rickshaw and rail, discover Goa's past as a Portuguese colony. With religious gems and relics aplenty, you'll call in at the city of Margao, hit a local market and finish up with a traditional lunch surrounded by colonial charm. Supriya, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘This tour gets you right into the heart of Goan life. You'll be shopping at the busy market where you'll see the great variety of produce grown in the region, then you'll travel by train and rickshaw, just as the locals do.'

The morning kicks off in Margao – Goa's bustling commercial capital. With free time to explore the market here, you can wander its rows of colourful stalls and practice your bargaining skills. The market dates back to the pre-colonial era when it was a prominent trade centre for spices and other commodities. Today, you can find all sorts of fresh foods, clothing and trinkets, plus a flea market section. Then, hopping in a rickshaw, you'll be whisked to the station to catch the train to your next stop.

Chugging to a halt in Sanvordem, you'll carry on by bus to Quepem to visit the impressive Palacio Deao. Boasting a superb blend of Hindu and Portuguese architecture, this carefully restored 200-year-old manor boasts impressive views of the Kushavati River. You'll take a guided tour to explore its airy, colonial interiors and exquisite gardens before lunch, where you'll get to try some of the best-loved Goan specialities.
