Unassuming chaps, these local tourist guides have mastered their craft and can talk extensively about the history and significance of a particular monument. The tourist guides in Goa cal also help you in matters of local transportation including fares and the modes of transport.
You can either choose a tourist guide by yourself or ask your hotel staff choose one for you. Besides being fluent in native Konkani language, the Goa tourist guides can also speak decent English and Hindi. Some will even surprise you with a smattering of French or German.
Even though most of the Goa tourist guides are friendly blokes, do not take them too much into confidence. Deal with them professionally and always maintain a proper distance. Do not reveal how much cash you are carrying and do not hand them your personal belongings under any circumstances. Keep your generous trait in check and pay the tourist guides tips only if you are satisfied with their services.
