This 2.5-hour walking tour explores the Fontainhas neighborhood, known as the Latin Quarters of Goa's capital, Panjim. The walk begins in Fontainhas, where visitors spend about 30 minutes observing the preserved Portuguese-style architecture and colorful streets that reflect the area's colonial past. The tour then moves to the Chapel of St Sebastian at the southern edge of Fontainhas, built in 1880, with a 15-minute stop to learn about its history. Next, the group visits the Sao Tome Old Quarter for about 5 minutes to see the colonial Baroque church that overlooks Panjim. The walk continues to Jardim Garcia de Orta, where a 15-minute stop is made at a memorial dedicated to a local doctor who concealed his Jewish heritage. Along the route, the guide leads participants through the Latin Quarters, sharing stories about how Panjim, known as 'Nova Goa,' became the new capital after Old Goa declined due to disease. The tour includes a visit to a local Indo-Portuguese house and a stop at one of the city's oldest bakeries, operating since the 1920s, where guests can sample local snacks. All fees, taxes, snacks, and the guided tour are included in the experience.
