    Puja's 6 days trip to Goa

    16 days ago
    We would like to thank Jack from Wanderglobe for making the trip so memorable. It was our reunion where we friends met after 12 yrs but now along with husbands and for me along with my son as well. The resorts were very good both according to ambience and hygiene. Drivers were mostly on time and stopped at good places for food and shopping.Baby food was available in both the resorts in the buffet breakfast as well as in the main menu. The cruise was enjoyable. Thank you once again for planning the trip so well and guiding us.

    Soumya's 5 days trip to Goa

    17 days ago
    Travel agent and cab driver were awesome in support and coordinate. As of hotel, i just have 3 problems due to which i give it 3: 1. The pool of the resort is closed. So couldn’t enjoy the pool when on stay. (Agent has informed it earlier, but still it’s a deduction in our amenities) 2. Within the hotel we don’t have any options for entertainment/indoor sports. So when it rains heavily, we didn’t have more choice other than our own company. 3. We faced minor issues in the room. But the staff were quick to resolve the same.

    Ssklmw's 5 days trip to Goa

    2 months ago
    I'm Senthil Kumar, a 53-year-old who had always dreamed of visiting Goa. Despite numerous attempts, I never had the chance until last week when I got a one-week holiday. Although my family couldn't join me, I decided to embark on a solo trip. Initially, they were apprehensive about me traveling alone, but my daughter reached out to Goa Originals, and you made my dream a reality. From airport pickup to drop, your team took excellent care of me. Your timely calls and messages were incredibly reassuring. The constant communication between us gave me the confidence to enjoy my trip without any worries. Kudos to you and your team for the outstanding work! Thank you for making my trip so memorable. Best regards, Senthil Kumar"
