Hallo erst einmal

wir sind auch auf der Tour dabei und suchen noch weitere Interessenten für den folgenden Ausflug, den wir bereits gebucht haben:

GOA PAST AND PRESENT - WE WILL MAKE GERMAN SPEAKING GROUP OF AROUND 16 ADULTS

What this tour is about: This is a tour of Panjim (the current capital of Goa), combined with a visit to ‘Velha Goa’ or Old Goa (the previous capital). The tour covers some of the popular tourist must-see’s in Goa,
including a heritage walk in the interesting Latin quarter of Panjim.
It also includes a visit to a temple, as well as a vibrant and colorful
traditional bazaar to experience the bustle of daily life in Goa.

Background: Goa
was among the most important centres of the ancient and medieval world,
trading in calico, spices, precious metals and many other goods. It has
been under various Hindu dynasties for most of its history, with a
brief period under Muslim rulers. When the Portuguese arrived in Goa, it was under the Muslim Bahmani empire. The Portuguese defeated the Bahmanis and conquered Goa in 1510; thus beginning 450 years of Christian rule. This rule ended when in 1961, the Indian army marched into Goa, and overthrew the Portuguese. These historical events have left their mark on Goa, influencing not only religion and architecture, but also the language, dress, cuisine and lifestyle of Goans. On this tour, you will see not only Goa’s interesting monuments, but also its diverse cultures.

What the tour covers:

The tour includes the following (there will be a break for lunch in between):

- A drive to the top of a hill for a panoramic view of Goa.
Here, our guide will show you the layout of the land, highlighting the
rivers, islands, transport systems, and providing an overview of life in
Goa.

- A visit to the churches of Old Goa,
the “Rome of the East”, which was the administrative seat of the
Portuguese. We will visit Se Cathedral (the seat of theArchbishop of Goa),
and the Basilica of Bom Jesus which contains the body of Saint Francis
Xavier, the Jesuit missionary who was canonised in 1622.

-
A brief walk through the heritage district of Fontainhas – this is a
residential area, the Latin quarter of Panjim where the traditional
colourful houses of the Catholic and Hindu community are still
preserved. Here you will see the original fountain after which the area
was named. Life in this old quarter still continues its sleepy ways.

-
Bazaar walk through the bustling Panjim fish and vegetable market –
this is a large colourful market where you can see all sorts of
interesting things on offer, including household wares, spices, fish,
meat, vegetables and many other goods. It’s a great way to see daily
life in Goa!

Other ideas:

- A visit to a Hindu temple to see the local architectural styles and prayer rituals. Hindus form the majority of the Goan population (around 70%), and the temple is a good way to see the “inner life” and rituals of this community.

- Those interested in museums may visit the Museum of Christian Art in Goa or the State Museum.

- If you would like to go shopping for handicrafts, please let the guide know.

Duration:
We suggest that we pick you from at the ship at 9:00 a.m. and drop you
back after the tour around 3:00p.m. and cover as much as we can in the
duration available, based on your interests. This is a private tour and
open to modifications.

magdaundjuergen, danke für die Info.

Ich habe auch etwas für Mangalore bekommen:

OPTION - II

Mangalore City Exploration

We will begin with a visit to Kadri Manjunatha Temple, which is more than 1000 years old. This temple, built in the 10th / 11th century, has several sacred bathing tanks which people visit before praying. You can see the Mangalore-style tiled roofs and courtyards for an understanding of traditional temple architecture of the area.

Next, we will visit a grand modern temple in Kudroli dedicated to Gokarnatha, founded by the great social reformer Sri Narayana Guru, who rejected caste-based differences promoted the idea that all people are equal before God. The temple complex is large, showing diverse influences, with many interesting legends displayed. It includes a marriage hall.

After visiting these two temples, we will drive through the city centre, seeing the streets and daily life in the city. Our next stop is the Central Market wholesale bazaar, where agricultural produce (fruits and vegetables) from the surrounding countryside is brought each day for sale.

From the market, we will go to Saint Aloysius Chapel, which remains even today, a unique case of Italian art in India. Built by the Jesuits in 1890, the chapel was painted by the Italian Jesuit Antonio Moscheni, and attracts thousands of visitors every year.

For lunch we will visit a specialty restaurant to taste the famous Mangalore cuisine (you can have either seafood or meat-based or vegetarian lunch, depending on your preference). You can read more about the cuisine here.

After lunch, we will visit a cashew processing factory. India is one of the leading producers, processors and exporters of cashews in the world, accounting for 65% of the world’s exports.

Plan for the day:

• Pickup from docks at 9:00 a.m.

• Transfer to Mangalore 30 mins, visit Kadri Manjunatha and Kudroli Gokarnatha Temples

• 11:30 to 1:00 Visit the Central Market wholesale bazaar for fruits and vegetables, and Aloysius Chapel

• 2:00 to 3:00 - transfer to Cashew processing factory (30 mins), and tour of the cashew processing (30 mins)

• Drop to docks by 3:30 p.m.

• If you would also like to visit the flower market on Car Street, or the fish market, please let the guide know and they will add it to your tour.

Please use your contacts or the cruise forums to find like-minded people to share the tour, it is quite easy, and it brings the cost per person down for everyone. We have great reviews on Cruise Critic and Tripadvisor and it is easy to find people who want to book with us.

The price we charge includes the following:

- Pick up from inside the docks (Chauffeur-driven air-conditioned Toyota Innova car) at the point where your ship berths. For larger groups above 4 people, we use an air-conditioned coach. The driver and guide will wait with a placard / signboard with your name on it.

- Cultured, highly qualified and knowledgeable lady guide. I have fourteen guides - they are no-nonsense women who know the city intimately, and like showing it to people. They speak English, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, French and Arabic. They each have 15-20 years experience in guiding, or more.

- Well researched and personalized tour itinerary that is fluid through the day to accommodate guest preferences.

- Shopping assistance (we have a list of recommended fixed price shops where the quality of goods is assured and guests are not subjected to haggling. Alternatively, we can take you to local bazaars to experience street shopping). There is no shopping on the tour unless you expressly ask for it; there is so much to see and experience that we prefer to focus on sightseeing. But please tell the guide if you want to buy something; they know the best places and can help you.

- Bottled Water

- Illustrated Handouts for the tour - Our handouts are well-researched and sometimes contain surprising information.

- Attractively packaged take-away gift as a memento - just a small thing!

- Drop back at ship

Lunch is not included. There will be a break in between for lunch, you can ask the guide for restaurant recommendations. Tell the guide what cuisine you want to try and they will take you. If you have dietary restrictions, let them know. We are quite used to dealing with different types of visitors from all corners of the world, and all kinds of dietary issues, including religious requirements, allergies etc. If you are bringing packed lunch from the ship to eat in the vehicle, you still need to provide an hour’s break to the guide and driver, perhaps you can walk through Colaba Causeway or go to a museum. But the food is very interesting and inexpensive and we know all the best places!

Please write to me for more information if you wish. Please book adequately early as we are often sold out on cruise dates.

You pay cash on the day of the tour. You can bring US$ or any other currency and change it in Mumbai.

Kind Regards

Hallo,
ich habe vorhin gerade gebucht Kann es noch nicht ganz glauben, dass ich das wirklich gemacht habe
Meine letzte Aida-Tour ist 10 Jahre her. Dieses Jahr war ich zwei Mal mit TC unterwegs. Bin also sehr gespannt auf die Reise und das Schiff


Viele Grüße
Julia

Hallo Julia,
die Aura ist ein schnuckeliges Schiff, eines meiner liebsten wir freuen uns auch schon, aber erst mal muss das Visum erledigt werden auf Indien bin ich ja schon mal gespannt, Orient kennen wir schon
LG Gabi

Hallo Gabi,

Dubai und Abu Dhabi kenne ich auch schon. Ich habe heute die "Verbrecherfotos" für das Visum machen lassen
Wie beantragt ihr das Visum? Ich werde das wohl über CIBTvisas machen, die werden ja von AIDA empfohlen.
Wisst ihr schon, was ihr in Indien unternehmt? Bucht ihr Ausflüge über AIDA?

Viele Grüße
Julia

Hallo Julia,

für das Visum ist für uns das Konsulat in Frankfurt zuständig: http://www.igcsvisa.de/touristvisa.php die Verbrecherfotos machen wir nächstes Wochenende, das Visum soll man ja frühesten zwei Monate vorher beantragen.
Ausflüge in Indien werden wir über Aida buchen, haben sie schon rausgesucht und versuchen, alles mögliche abzudecken. Wir haben bei den letzten Touren festgestellt, dass das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis wieder stimmt
LG Gabi

Hallo Gabi,

gut zu wissen mit den Ausflügen, ich habe da ja bei Aida keine aktuellen Erfahrungen.
Ich hatte im Test Login von MyAida schonmal geschaut. Da kam es mir vor, als wären nicht sooo viele Ausflüge zur Auswahl. Kann aber natürlich auch sein, dass im Test Login nicht alle angezeigt werden oder einfach auch schon einige nicht mehr verfügbar sind.
Ich habe mir mal deinen Link fürs Visum angeschaut. Die Agentur kann ich auch nutzen - und wenn ich das richtig sehe, ist es dort wesentlich günstiger als bei der Agentur die Aida empfiehlt (kostet fast die Hälfte). Komisch finde ich allerdings, dass sogar die Konsulatskosten unterschiedlich sind. Das ist ein Unterschied von 30 Euro. Da hätte ich gedacht, dass die doch eigentlich identisch sein müssten...

Viele Grüße
Julia

Hallo Julia,
ich habe Dir eine PN geschickt
