Hallo Franz,
vielen Dank für deine Rückmeldung. Sehr gerne.
Das mit dem Boot durch Kanäle fahren ist in Cochin, Backwater. Diese Tour habe ich auch angefragt, aber noch keine Antwort. Außerdem habe ich auch für Goa / Strände angefragt und etwas sightseeing.
Wir sind dann schon 6 Personen - zumindest für die City Tour, da rechnet sich das. In erster Linie geht es darum, dass wir die deutschsprechende Dame reservieren.Was wir dann machen, können wir später präzisieren. Hier mal der Vorschlag von Deepa Krishnan:
April 16, pickup at 10:00 a.m. City Tour must-sees and see also a local bazaar. Drop back by 5:00 p.m. - reicht dann auch für die frühe Essenszeit.
April 17, pickup at 8:30 a.m. Kanheri Caves and Bandra, drob back by 4:00p.m. (Abfahrt ist um 17 Uhr - wir können, je nach mehrheitlichem Wunsch aber auch Elephanta Island machen - das kann später besprochen werden. Ich dachte nur, dass da nicht so viele hinfahren, somit könnte das entspannter sein. Infos zu Kanheri - auf der rechten Seite kann man auch Elephanta anklicken.
Hier mal ein Auszug aus dem Email von Mumbaimagic:
For passengers arriving on cruise ships, we offer custom tours in Mumbai that include pickup and drop from/to the docks.
In these tours, there are no hard and fast rules about what you can do. People usually just tell the guides their interests, or some specific places they want to see, and the guides fit them into the available time. We get all sorts of requests - people want to try fast food or other cuisines, culture and religion tours, bazaar walks, visits to people's homes, slum tours, train rides, bus rides, flea markets, Jewish heritage tours, shopping for specific things, tailoring, art galleries and museums...I run a personalized tour service that accommodates all these things. In fact, you'll probably end up doing and seeing more than what you thought you could accomplish. The tours last 6-8 hours per day depending on your interest and level of tiredness.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; otherwise they won’t take you.
- Lunch at Moshe's Café at Kala Ghoda, or a thali meal at Samrat, or Swati Snacks, or packed sandwiches. Tell the guide what cuisine you want to try and they will take you. If you have dietary restrictions, let them know.
- 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
We have German-speaking guides as well, in case you want that. But you must book it soon, because otherwise we cannot assure you availability. We will make sure you are back in time for the ship. We do a lot of shore excursions and we know the importance of being back.
Sie schreibt noch, dass an den Tagen, wenn die Kreuzfahrtschiffe kommen, sie schnell ausgebucht sind. Bei cruisecritic hat schon jemand bei ihr gebucht und andere haben auch Interesse, allerdings dann in Englisch.
Für uns ist es interessant, wenigstens jeweils 4 Personen zusammen zu bekommen, sonst ist es mir zu teuer
.
Könnte mir bitte jeder, der gerne mitmachen möchte, eine PN schreiben mit dem vollständigen Namen, Email Adresse und viell. Telefonnummer? Ich habe ja nur eure Forumnamen. Danke!
