Prior to getting into tourism, I have worked for more than a decade in WPP owned media agencies across India. China and Philippines.

I am Mario a very passionate and dedicated tour Guide for my city Goa. The Goa that I grew up in was very different from what it is today. It had a charm that was unique and a culture that was still strongly influenced by its gripping past. This led me to become very interested in learning all about my delightful homeland at a very young age. Digging through the rich cultural heritage of Goa soon turned into a desire to share its beauty with others. Turning my passion into a profession, I worked my way to becoming a licensed tour guide who is recognized by the Goa State Tourism Department, and has over 20 years of experience leading tours across Goa. A tour with me will always be accompanied with interesting facts and stories about Goa’s enthralling history and fascinating culture. The enthusiasm and passion that I have for Goa is contagious and will leave you captivated as I guide you through my quaint and unforgettable homeland. My tours are suitable for all travelers and families, right from the oldest to the youngest. They can be personalized to accommodate your needs, so do not hesitate to share your thoughts and preferences.

“Varanasi Trip - Feb 2024”

We had engaged Chandan as our tour guide in Varanasi and that was one of the best parts of our trip. Chandan is very Knowledgeable about the city of Varanasi and has good knowledge of the topography and that was very helpful to navigate the crowded city quickly. He is fluent in English and the local language, and helped us easily navigate the logistics of visiting different sites. He helped us plan the trip around Varanasi and maximize the use of time taking into consideration needs of senior members of our group. He is very knowledgeable about the culture , history and religious customs. He was very professional and accommodative. He is a fun and engaging guide. We especially loved the beautiful morning and evening Ganga aartis and the spectacular sunrise boat tour. He also helped us safely enjoy delicious street food and chai. We strongly recommend Chandan if you plan to visit Varanasi.

“Agra Trip -- Feb 2024”

We engaged Mohsin K as our guide for our Agra trip and it was one of the best parts of the trip . His Knowledge of History ,architecture & Culture was excellent and he was able to provide a context when we visited Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. It really helped us to go back in time and visualize how things must have been four hundred years back. He was very accommodating to senior members in our group. We wish we had more time to see other monuments with him in and around Agra. He is fluent in English and the local language, as well as logistics of navigating the sites, which helped the trip go smoothly. He was a warm and engaging guide and was able to answer all our questions on history, culture, and customs. We would highly recommend engaging Mohsin as a tour guide if you plan to make a trip to Agra.
