Good Goa Day Trip

Richard_G, May 2024

This was a lovely day trip to the waterfalls and spice plantation. The waterfalls were so refreshing to swim in and the Buffett at the spice plantation was good. No food poisoning lol. The bus driver was using his phone a lot when he was driving, but that is just India in general.

Don’t touch the buffet, terrible food poisoning

Ade_A, Apr 2024

The tour was fine apart from the buffet at the spice plantation which gave me the worst food poisoning I have ever had., Emergency doctor who my hotel had to call confirmed this. Also no Old Goa tour as the churches were closed.

Poorly organized. Chaotic

Reshma_A, Apr 2024

Really one of the poorly organized trips ever. Nothing was as in the description. Pickup: There is no pickup from hotel. They just have fixed pickup points. The organizers gave us a point was 20-25 mins away on an National Highway. When I pointed to the driver to give us a different location since it's not safe to walk across NH. His reply was 'Its not an intentional highway and we always do our pickups here'. Pedestrian rules; who? Pushing tourists with little knowledge of the local language and infrastructure to impede the traffic on highway and break common sense rules should never happen. We were picked up on the side of national highway. The bus was littered with bottle caps , wrappers. Tour language: The description said English available, but on reaching the destination the driver gave instructions exclusively only in Hindi. The instructions were also not complete. He never told us about the checkpoints and the instructions on the card to swipe at the checkpoint. When we asked for him to repeat in English, he scoffed and laughed it off. I had to translate his fast paced Hindi with my limited knowledge of the language to my partner. It's ok not to know a certain language but why advertise what you cannot deliver. At dudhsagar: the driver asked us to give him cash to pay to the drivers. Which we already had paid for. When we pointed that he had to organize it himself; he said it was fault of organizers and he is just trying to help. We waited for over 30 mins just waiting for one of the people on the tour to arrange money on behalf of the organizers to arrange for the cash to pay the safari drivers. We saw not even a butterfly on the safari. The falls were beautiful and we got 1.5 hrs to enjoy. Spice plantation meal was ok. Skip this. This trip isn't worth.

Nice day out

Lars_G, Mar 2024

The Tour started on time unfortunately that changed as a few people on the tour thought that timings would not apply to them. Nothing the tour guide could have done apart from leaving them behind which was properly no option. Trip was beautiful and the spice farm was more interesting then I would have had imagined.

Great day out

jemmaleigha, Feb 2024

This is really a great experience. Jeep safari through the jungle to the waterfall with monkeys everywhere. I wouldn’t recommend this for any one with mobility concerns, the jeep is an ‘off roading’ experience and is very bumpy. To get to the waterfall there’s a little walk with rough terrain. To get down to the waterfall you have to climb down some rocks. The tour company staff were fab. Coach was lovely, full AC and super clean.

Great experience

Catherine_G, Jan 2024

The whole experience was so memorable. The guide was so helpful and polite. Loved the waterfalls and had enough time to watch the cheeky monkeys. Loved the spice plantation so interesting and the buffet style lunch was amazing although we would have liked a little more time there. Old goa was nice but the 15 mins we had there was far to short. Overall I would definitely recommend it to anyone of all ages.

Dudhsagar Falls Trip

Rahul_C, Jan 2024

The Dudhsagar Falls was grand. But the tour operator refused to pick me at my Marriott hotel. So I had to walk to a meeting point in the early hours of the morning.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi Rahul, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you found the Dudhsagar Falls grand and appreciate your acknowledgment of this natural wonder. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced regarding the pickup location. As mentioned in our tour details, we provide pickups from designated hotel locations due to various logistical considerations. Some hotels, including Marriott, are situated in areas with narrow lanes, making it challenging for our group tour vehicles to maneuver effectively. In the interest of ensuring a smooth and timely pickup for all participants, we establish central meeting points accessible by our vehicles. We understand that the early morning walk to the meeting point may have been inconvenient, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter. To offer a more personalized and flexible experience, we recommend considering our private tour options, where pickups from specific hotels are guaranteed, providing greater convenience for our guests. We value your feedback, and it serves as an opportunity for us to improve our services. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your tour and would welcome the chance to serve you again in the future, perhaps with a private tour for added convenience. Thank you for choosing us, and we appreciate your understanding.

Beautiful falls, below average guide.

Lindsey_B, Dec 2023

Watching the train travel over the falls. The experience of the falls was one to highly recommend although the guide was average. He left the coach on the way back before the guests departed. Little communication but at the end of the day if you just want transportation organised including the jeep to the falls then it was acceptable. (If just for the experience would have been 5 stars)

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Providing informative and engaging guidance is a key aspect of our tours, and we apologize for any shortcomings in this regard.

Thank you for choosing our tour, and we wish you many more memorable adventures in your travels.

Dudhsagar Falls Is a Site to See

Brandy_E, Oct 2023

I had booked this tour because it stated that it would be in English which it wasn’t. The majority of instructions were given in Hindi or Konkani and sometimes given to me in English by the tour director. Luckily there were some great people in my tour group who were able to answer my questions. The jeep ride to the falls was a lot of fun and it was a beautiful location to experience.

Waiting on refund

Jason_W, Sep 2023

Still waiting on a refund, my trip was cancelled -Inwas told a refund would occur within 72 hours, this still has not happened

Worst treatment on tour ever

Alexandra_C, Jan 2023

Our guide, Rahman, did not acknowledge or speak to us in English at all, despite being fluent in English. We were given no instructions, information or timings, and missed the first stop completely because we were not informed of what the stop was for. He spoke in his native language to the rest of the guests for the duration, leaving us feeling particularly excluded. We had to approach him directly to get any directions, and even these were given reluctantly. Being the only two native English speakers, he tried to separate us on to different jeeps, and did not appreciate it when we refused. By the time we got to the waterfalls (again with no information, background or history about the area), he told us he would speak to us in the car park rather than speak to us on the bus. When we reached the spice plantation, we were handed over to another guide who spoke in English to the entire group, who were all comfortable and happy with this - making it apparent that Rahman made no effort. Despite the beauty of the area, and the amazing waterfall, the trip was ruined by the lazy attitude of the guide. We have been on numerous trips in different areas of India (including Delhi and Mumbai) and have never had such poor treatment. It could not have been clearer that we were not included on the tour.

Great day out!

Yasmin_A, Nov 2022

The waterfalls were definitely worth the treacherous walk and bumpy jeep ride! It was very busy however the early morning pick up was worth it as it meant you’re not waiting in a very long jeep queue at peak time which seemed to be about lunchtime. Clearly a very popular spot in Goa. The Spice plantation was very interesting, the tour guide was great and shared a lot of useful knowledge. Also we had the opportunity to buy some of the spices talked about at the end. Definitely recommend this tour.

Skip the tour.

Aayush_T, Nov 2022

Treated like cattle, very disorganized. Long wait times. Left the tour midway and came back to hour hotel ourselves

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Guest, We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience. This is something we don't want our guests to experience on the tour. However, The tour you booked is the most visited place in Goa currently, there are very limited Jeep Safari per day and it gets crowded in the morning to get the allotment. The jeep allotment is managed by the local authority and not in our control, and due to the technical glitch online allotment is not working, hence the chaos. We have taken your feedback and will act upon it, however, we would suggest booking a private tour to have the flexibility and a leisure experience instead of the group tour. Team Tripbea

Bad experience

MikaelMunk_J, Oct 2022

You can not trust the company Trip Bea. First they moved the tour from October 29, 2022 to October 30, 2022. But they did not never pick us up at October 30. We were waiting for a couple of hours and no one contacted us. And it is not possible to get in contract to Viator. I will never more book tours thought Viator.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Guest, We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience. This is something we don't want our guests to experience on the tour. The Waterfalls were closed on Oct 29, 2022 due to an accident at the national park a week earlier, hence we shifted the tour to Oct 30, after getting a confirmation from you. For 30th Oct, we sent details on the phone number of the pick-up point and time on the phone number from which you called on 28th Oct. We tried calling as well in the morning, however, there was no response. Due to miscommunication, we weren't able to take you on the tour. We realized our mistake and we issued a FULL REFUND for this booking immediately. We look to rectify our mistake and look forward to serving you in the future. Team Tripbea

Best way to explore Goa and surroundings

Jos_A, Jun 2022

Really Amazing. Vert helpful guiding! Bathing and seeing monkeys, that was just awesome! Very good organisation.

Great Tour

Peyton_W, Mar 2022

The tour was very solid. I was able to see parts of North Goa I would have not been able to see had I been planning the trip on my own.

Falls gorgeous but not English speaking and toilets dirty

Donna_R, Dec 2021

The falls themselves were beautiful but breakfast place was dirty though food was very good. Toilet very filthy there. Toilet at the falls very dirty too. Guide almost 100% spoke only Hindi even though you advertised as having an English guide. Even when I requested English translation he only did that once for me. We left before lunch in our own taxi as my friend was sick from bumpy keep rides to and from the falls.

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Hi Donna, Thank you for your feedback, It's very unfortunate you had such an experience on the tour, we always want our guests to have the best tour experience and we will take necessary actions based on your feedback on the guide. However, we just arrange the tour, the infrastructure is managed by the local authorities and we have very little control over it. We have shared this feedback with them. We look forward to welcoming you again on our tours.
