Itinerary
Welcome to tropical Goa and your home for the week! Upon arrival you’ll be met at Goa airport and transferred to your hotel. Spend the rest of the day at leisure.
This morning you'll be picked up from your hotel and driven to a modern day apartment overlooking the verdant fields of Caranzalem. Here you will learn to cook Indian cuisine in our chef Judy's Goan home. Following an introduction to Indian food, we commence our first...
Its an early start this morning with a visit to the colourful local market with your chef. Check out the fresh 'just picked' produce, chat with spice merchants, buy some Indian cooking utensils and take in the hustle and bustle of this popular spot. We then enjoy a traditional breakfast at a South India cafe in Goa’s capital, Panjim.
This morning you'll enjoy an introduction to the cuisine of South India, including local Goan food. Not unnaturally, after some 450 years of colonisation, Goan cooking has absorbed strong Portuguese influences. Hanging up your apron, it will then be time to road test the tasty result of this morning class.
Today we enjoy a half day excursion to the local spice garden and plantation.
Our third and final cooking session is a treat, where your chef will accommodate a selection of special requests from the class, with pointers on dishes you may have always wanted to know how to prepare - perhaps a favourite local snack that you've come across during your stay in Goa? The afternoon is free for you to further explore Goa or simply take things easy.
A totally free day for you to soak up the tropical sun! By now, you’ll have discovered plenty to do in and around Goa, so we leave the choice to you!
After breakfast, arrangements end. Time to depart for your flight home unless you’ve booked another week in the sun! Non–cooking companions are welcome to come along - Goa has plenty more than sun and sand to offer!

Tour Operator
Escaping a cold London winter back in 1998, we followed the sun for a colourful adventure around the world. Discovering amazing history, interesting cultures and the jaw-dropping beauty of our planet, the friends we made along the way made our journey all the more special. Inspired to share our experiences, the seeds were sown and On The Go Tours was born.
Over the years we’ve grown into a small yet global company, with a purposeful local ethos. True to our own travels, authenticity is core to our holidays. We’d love you to experience a country the way it really is, with people who live there and know it inside out. We know this makes the difference between a great holiday and a truly memorable one. Our carefully sought out English-speaking local guides are passionate about sharing their country with you and we believe that they are amongst the best in the business.
We know too that adventure feels better with a chilled beer poolside or a soft pillow at the end of each day and we search out comfortable hotels and boutique properties for your stay. As we love to say - travel with us and adventure in style!
Unbeatable value: Combining authentic local experiences with an excellent range of 3-5 star hotels & boutique properties, our tours represent unbeatable value. Add in airport transfers, passionate tour guides and all transportation and you do get the best of adventure travel and creature comforts too.
Great group size: With an average of 15 and a maximum of 24, our group size really works well on tour, so you’re bound to meet like-minded travellers and make lasting friendships. Our festival tours do have larger group sizes due to their ‘one-off’ nature.
100% Guaranteed: Not only are all our group tour departures 100% guaranteed, we are also fully financially bonded, so you can book our tours with absolute confidence. We’re proud to say that we recently won 2 prestigious British Travel Awards and were runner up for another 3, testament to the quality of our holidays.
