With friends - better plan on your own, it will be cheaper. Search home-stays online or take tips from friends or from this platform, hire activa scooter there and roam around.
Hello,
Recommended thing will be always planning your own trip. So that you know how long you can stay at a place and explore. There won't b any limitation while travelling and it will always be budget friendly.

For guided packages kindly check the above Tripoto link. You could plan on self too. North Goa - Fort aguada, Anjuna beach, Arambol beach, Anjuna flea market, Scuba diving, Arvalem falls, Mangeshi temple, museum, Chorao islands are some spots you could explore. South Goa- Palolem beach, Chandreshwar temple, museum, Mollem national park, Dudhsagar falls and Cabo de Rama fort are some spots to see.
Goa is best explored without a plan. The place is easy accessible and safe for all kind of travellers. I would suggest to take scooty/bike/ car on rent and explore the places at your pace and liking. I have explored both the options during my many visits. Would give you more freedom and independence.
