joandian Posted May 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I would like recommendations for a private tour to the Taj Mahal leaving from Cochin and returning to Goa cruise ports. Thanks for any information you can pass on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGH Cruiser Posted May 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2017 When we made plans to do this from Cochin we were to meet the ship in the next port. This involved flying to Delhi , then a long drive from there, an overnight in Agra, the return drive to Delhi, and another overnight before flying on to Goa. I don't see it feasible to go to Agra in the short time . We used Muziris Heritage Day Tours who done the whole package including sightseeing in Cochin and Mumbai . We were met at the pier by our guide and joined by another couple from our CC roll call http://www.tourwithlijo.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know lots of people do it and I know about the flights, overnights etc. It's on my bucket list of visiting all 7 wonders of the world, so we will work it out with the help of a good tour company.

jelayne Posted May 30, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2017 We booked with Culture Holidays which was recommended by a cruiser who did the tour with them earlier this year. We are doing the tour in March 2018 while on the Constellation, disembarking in Cochin and rejoining the ship in Goa. FYI at least with Celebrity you need to get clearance from the cruise line to leave the ship and rejoin it at the next port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I will be contacting RCI and arranging clearance to leave and rejoin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
