South Goa Sightseeing Taxi: Old Goa Churches, Temples and Spice Farms
Our South Goa sightseeing taxi is a private full-day heritage tour of about 8 hours / 90 km in an air-conditioned car with a local driver. The suggested route covers the UNESCO-listed churches of Old Goa, Mangueshi Temple, a spice plantation near Ponda, and the Dona Paula and Miramar waterfront — with pickup from your hotel.
Places Covered
- Old Goa — the Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site "Churches and Convents of Goa".
- Mangueshi Temple — one of Goa's best-known temples, near Ponda.
- A spice plantation near Ponda — guided walks through spice gardens, often with a traditional lunch (paid separately at the farm).
- Dona Paula viewpoint — views over the mouth of the Zuari and Mormugao harbour.
- Miramar beach — Panjim's city beach, a relaxed end to the day.
Prefer beaches? We can swap stops for Colva, Benaulim or a South Goa coastal drive, or add Panjim's Fontainhas Latin Quarter.
