take excursions on the street it will be the same as the guides only much cheaper. money was taken with a master card card withdrawn from ATMs immediately in rupees, the commission for the operation is 100 rubles. much more convenient. .for food you will try in different places where you like it later and have lunch.leave a tip and they will immediately remember you and will be happy to meet you

I was in Calangute in February-March 2015. I did not see shops in Calangute where you can pay by card. The nearest such store is Newton in Candolim. And then, not every card goes there. Why is unclear. I had to change with local money changers. Be careful, everyone is trying to cheat. Count money on the spot. The most probable method of deception: the exchanger counts first 1000 rupee bills, then 500 rupees, then even less, in the end he fools his head and from 200 to 500 rupees you can miss the count. . As for the rubles, when I gave 100 rubles to the porter when checking into the room, he refused them. And I didn’t have rupees yet, and the smallest currency was 50 euros. It is better to take dollars or euros with you. You can withdraw money from an ATM. Check with your bank how much it costs to withdraw money in India. If, indeed, as indicated above, it is only 100 rubles, then use this opportunity. Withdraw money only at the ATM near which the policeman is sitting. He will help you cope

It will help you deal with this problem. But, it turned out to be more profitable for us to change at the changers.
Sheki on the beach are almost the same. We often dined at Hard Rock, which is to the left of the central staircase. Ask in advance about the amount of spices.
Excursions are offered right on the beach. We took the "old town - water garden - spice farm". Calangute has a good market with inexpensive fruits. It is more convenient to go to other beaches by taxis, which are clustered near each hotel.

Goa has a different banking system, where ATMs are separate from banks, so for withdrawing money from an ATM, different ATMs charge different commissions. We rested last year in Mandrem and there was an ATM that did not take a commission. Many people went to this ATM on purpose.
And so dollars can be changed at special currency exchange points. We never had any problems, the course was normal, everything is always clear.
On excursions. I recommend a private chid Marina Murger. Page in fb - https://www.facebook.com/GoaIndiaTravels
It is much cheaper than tour operators, besides, you can order an individual tour. We went to a waterfall + monkeys, a spice plantation, temples and swimming with an elephant :). There have never been so many vivid emotions in one day.
Have a nice rest!
