Panaji and Old Goa Tour with Basilica of Bom Jesus Visit

Packed with religious monuments, grand cathedrals and colonial relics, it's easy to see how Goa became known as ‘The Rome of the East.' This tour takes in Goa's two atmospheric capitals – the current one, Panaji, and the former seat of Portuguese power, Old Goa.

The morning kicks off in Panaji, where a stroll through its colourful Latin Quarter harks back to the days of Portuguese rule. With its rows of pastel-hued houses and wooden balconies, it's like a small slice of Lisbon washed up in India. Look out for the Portuguese influences adorning historic buildings such as azulejo tiles and ornate windows.

Next, it's time to visit Old Goa. Discover the sacred relics at the Basilica of Bom Jesus, before moving on to the Se Cathedral to see its golden bell – the largest in Asia. In the afternoon, we'll visit a Hindu temple and a spice plantation for a tour of the estate and a tasting of its famous spiced tea. To finish, you'll dine on a selection of Goan dishes, followed by a chance to buy some spices to take home.
