Goa has much to offer history wise, from grand cathedrals to colonial monuments. This tour takes you to its two atmospheric capitals - the current one, Panjim and the former, abandoned city of Old Goa. In the Middle Ages, the latter was called the ‘Rome of the East' and boasts vast churches and museums testifying to its past glory. Visit the Basilica of Bom Jesus, where the missionary St. Francis Xavier is buried, before seeing the Se Cathedral, with its Golden Bell - Asia's largest bell. Then it's on to Panjim, where you'll make a shopping stop at the swish new 'Calculo Mall'. After a buffet lunch at the Goa Marriott, you'll board a rickshaw for a ride around the small squares and lanes of the city's old quarter, winding up at the daily market, before returning to your hotel.
