Description
Saligao happens to be a beautiful village in North Goa you will pass by without ever noticing its true colors. A ‘Paasai’ is a leisurely evening walk done every evening in Goa. It is relaxing, interesting and can offer tiny surprises on the way. This quaint village has interesting stories,local legends and also an array of beautiful houses along narrow scenic lanes. One of the most unique churches of Goa, The Gothic Mãe De Deus Church built in 1873 and the ancestral houses have created a niche for itself in this picturesque village. We explore the village on foot through its village clubs, chapels, houses and the culture of the village. Are You ready for your Paasai?!

Let’s be real – no one can control the weather, and sometimes things just don’t go as planned. But don’t worry, your City Manager is here to help and will do their best to come up with a solution if an event is affected. We understand that everyone’s schedule is different, so while we can’t guarantee a make-up option will work for everyone, we promise to try our hardest. If you’re unable to attend the make-up date, no problem – we’ll give you a full refund for your booking.

Yes, once you add your item to your cart and check out, you will be able to input the code before completing the purchase. If you need help finding your code, please double check your inbox. You received an email from Marketplace with the code.
Can I book for a friend / family member?
Sure! We welcome your friends and family coming to visit you while you travel the world. We do, however, reserve the right to deny access to Friends / Family who are over using RY Services.
