Agree. Why do you need a taxi if you can visit everything yourself (it will be much more interesting).

Taking a taxi is not a problem. Just bargain, the first price will be clearly overpriced. Traveling by yourself is certainly interesting and more profitable. But we did not have the opportunity to travel, for example, by the same buses, as we rested with a small child. Taxi in our case was very convenient and profitable. As for obtaining information, it is better to take care of this in advance. Read on the Internet, special magazines and guidebooks.

Of course, a taxi is a pretty good option for people who have a very limited budget and who are not particularly interested in learning something. it is better to take an organized tour, where Russian guides will tell you a lot of interesting things. For many people, this is subsequently almost all the information that they bring home and then retell to their friends.

Something is not entirely clear what is meant by "why do you need a taxi if you can visit everything yourself"? Excuse me, how is this? Is there a public bus to go to Dudhsagar Falls or spice plantations? Or on foot? Although Goa is a small state, it is not enough to walk around it. I do not consider bikes, since not all people dare to ride a bike in Goa.

Annette, it seemed to me that Alena was "promoting" the business of guides ..... by the way, I very much doubt the experience and knowledge of many. And I'm just sure that most people who do not use excursions, but organize their own trips often know more than these "professionals" ....

Organized and comfortable excursions are generally not bad, but the order of prices for them in India is a little surprising (compared with Thailand). So I think I'll have to take risks and take a bike (I'm talking about myself).

we took the bike. True, before that, they traveled around India and got used to left-hand traffic. Immediately it was dumb, and then they got involved.

I don’t promote anything. It’s just that for 2 years in a row my husband and I rested in Goa, went on several excursions and we were lucky with the guides, I guess. We just came across professionals.

Riding a bike or with a tour, public transport or a taxi is the choice of everyone. Someone advises based on their experience, I advise based on mine.

Good afternoon! 5th time we go to GOA (2 times a year). And in the past (2011) I was still in the Emirates (4 times) in Mexico (1st time), Turkey, the Czech Republic ... In short - TO GOA, taking a Taxi on excursions is a Normal Topic! But only to the neighbors and without comments, that is, the Taxi Driver will not really explain anything to you! THEREFORE: upon arrival in GOA, look for local companies (there are a lot of them) and take a tour - 40% (FORTY PERCENT) cheaper than in any "Pegasus" and the quality is even higher!
