Hallo Doydoy,
vielen Dank für die Hinweise. Haben aber bereits die beiden Tage in Mumbay bei MM gebucht. Sind für Hinweise und Tips für den Aufenthalt in Goa dankbar. Gibt es auch dort Möglichkeiten auf eigene Faust Ausflüge zu unternehmen?
Bis bald...
Hallo Duckdalben,
Parveen teilt mir auf Anfrage mit, dass die ursprüngliche Tour Mumbai (incl. Elphanta Island 4.12. 13:00 Uhr) bisher lediglich von 6 von max 16 Pers. gebucht worden ist.
Hallo Duckdalben,
bedauerlich, dass es mit der ursprünglich vorgesehenen Tour nicht geklappt hat; offensichtlich ausgebucht.
Habe mich bei Parveen um einen Goa-Ausflug bemüht, s. nachstehend. Ist ggfs. Interesse vorhanden? Für 2 Pers. kostenmäßig nicht interessant.
You will have to find more people to join you for your Goa tour with English speaking guide.

MUMBAI MAGIC

Arrival: 12 p.m. on Sunday 4 December, 2016, stays overnight in Mumbai
Departure: 6 p.m. on Monday 5 December, 2016
Tour date: Sun Dec 4 and Mon Dec 5
For passengers arriving on cruise ships, we offer custom tours in Mumbai that include pickup and drop from/to the docks.
You can choose from the two options below.
Option 1: We are making a group tour with English speaking guide and German translator of 16 people for this option. 2 people have signed up for this tour. You can post this tour on cruise to form the group at earliest.
The coverage is as follows
Dec 4 (Sun): Afternoon 1 pm visit Elephanta caves with Colaba Causeway. Drop back by 8 pm
Dec 5 (Mon):Early morning pick up at 7:30 am, visit Sassoon Dock, Flower market at Dadar, Kala Ghoda Art District, Bombay University, High Court, Oval Maidan, Marine Drive, Chowpatty Beach, Gandhi’s Home (Mani Bhavan), Dhobi Ghat, Crawford Market. There will be a break for lunch in between. Drop back by 3:30 pm.
Option 2 - A private tour for you with English-speaking guide. In this case you can decide what you want to see.
The prices of our tours per day effective from 1-MAY-2014 are as follows:
Rs 3500 per person for a group of 9-16 people
Rs 3750 per person for a group of 7-8 people
Rs 4250 per person for a group of 5-6 people
Rs 4750 per person for a group of 4 people
Rs 5750 per person for a group of 3 people
Rs 7500 per person for a couple
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.
- All entrance tickets
- 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
Parveen
