Know Before You Go

• This tour offers a vibrant mix of Mumbai’s urban charm, historical landmarks, and Goa’s laid-back beaches, lively markets, and rich cultural heritage.
• Travel times between Mumbai and Goa can vary, so be prepared for longer journeys, especially if traveling by road during peak hours or holiday seasons.
• Entry fees to popular attractions, such as the Elephanta Caves, Gateway of India, or heritage sites in Goa, are typically not included in tour packages, so plan for additional costs.
• When visiting temples or churches in both Mumbai and Goa, dress modestly by covering shoulders and knees, as a sign of respect for local traditions and religious practices.
• If visiting Goa during the peak tourist season (November to March), make sure to book accommodations and activities well in advance to avoid last-minute hassles.
• Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun, particularly in Goa, as the tropical climate can be hot and humid, especially during the day.
• Indulge in the unique Goan cuisine, such as seafood and traditional curries, but if you’re sensitive to spices or unfamiliar food, it’s best to start slowly and drink only bottled water.
• Be respectful of local customs, especially when visiting places of worship or during festivals in Mumbai or Goa; observe and participate thoughtfully if invited to do so.
• Explore the colorful markets in both Mumbai and Goa for souvenirs, such as jewelry, clothing, and handicrafts, and remember to haggle politely to get the best deals.
