Everyone is happy! We bought a tour from an agency through a TPG tour operator in Goa (our cherished dream). Everything was great: a good ticket price, a visa came out on time, met in Goa with a flower garland, settled at 6 in the morning without any additional payments there (although it was the cheapest 3 *) and fed breakfast. The return transfer arrived 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled time - the guide was picking up tourists from the neighboring hotel building.
We booked the Casablanca 3 * hotel for the first trip to Goa and India in general (November 2016) - we were very satisfied! Good location (all shops and cafes nearby), there are many taxis nearby - you can go anywhere for obscenely little money.
We rested in Goa in November 2016. We chose North Goa for ourselves, as we read that this is more of a youth holiday. We chose not very expensive, but good enough hotel Casablanca 3 * in Candolim, with which we were very pleased with the choice!
