Beschrijving

Ontdek het ongebruikelijke oude Goa, zijn fascinerende kerken met grote gevels en ingewikkelde interieurs. Bezoek later de kruidenplantage, weg van de drukke stranden van Goa, en geniet van een smakelijke Goan-lunch (groepsbasis) die alleen op de plantage wordt georganiseerd. Bezoek ook een 400 jaar oude hindoetempel die bekend staat als de "Mangeshi" -tempel, die doet denken aan het voormalige hindoeïstische erfgoed van Goa vóór de Portugese koloniale overheersing. OPMERKING: Toeristen die aankomen met CRUISE-schepen KUNNEN deze tour NIET boeken, omdat de zeehavenautoriteiten hun eigen transportconfiguratie hebben.

Reisroute

30 min

Ochtend haalt onze Gids u op bij uw hotel en gaat verder richting Oud Goa. Gebouwd in 1619 AD, is het bouwwerk van Se Cathedral de grootste kerk in Azië. Met zijn prachtige Iberische gevel, hoge plafonds, prachtig mozaïekwerk, ingewikkeld hout en verguld houtsnijwerk is de Se-kathedraal, ook wel St. Catherine's Cathedral genoemd, een absolute must-see voor elke bezoeker in Goa. LET OP : Korte broeken en mouwloze broeken zijn niet toegestaan tijdens het betreden van de religieuze plaats als deze.

30 min

Deze 400 jaar oude kerksite heeft een rijke culturele en religieuze betekenis gekregen, de Basiliek van Bom Jesus is door UNESCO uitgeroepen tot Werelderfgoed. Letterlijk vertaald naar 'Heilige Jezus', is dit de enige kerk in Oud Goa die niet aan de buitenkant is gepleisterd. De gevel van de kerk heeft driehoekige dakbedekking die subtiel is bewerkt met de initialen 'IHS', wat een afkorting is voor Jezuïetenembleem dat 'Jezus, Redder der Mensen' betekent. LET OP : Korte broeken en mouwloze broeken zijn niet toegestaan tijdens het betreden van de religieuze plaats als deze.

20 min

Bezoek ook de toren van St. Augustine, een populaire favoriet voor alle Bollywood-filmopnamen.

Toegang inbegrepen120 min

Tijd voor een heerlijke lunch, aankomst bij Tropical Spice Plantation: luister naar de prachtige vogels, luier rond bij de beek of geniet gewoon van een wandeling door de uitgestrekte kevernootplantages. De tropische kruidenplantage heeft veel te bieden, gemoedsrust is de grootste van allemaal. Geniet van een gevarieerd menu zoals Prawn Curry, Goan Chicken-schotel, Witte en bruine rijst, Goan Bread, fish fry en een paar vegetarische items.

30 min

Deze 400 jaar oude tempel is opgedragen aan Lord Shiva en heeft de afgelopen 400 jaar toegewijden en bezoekers gefascineerd met zijn simplistische schoonheid. De tempel is versierd met een verfrissend waterlichaam. Volgens sommigen is dit een van de oudste delen van de tempel. Er is ook een zeven verdiepingen tellende lampentoren in het tempelcomplex. Er zijn ook een paar heiligdommen gewijd aan de familiegoden die zich in het tempelcomplex bevinden.

Definitely worth it

Arranging a larger group tour was very easy when Viator option did not allow for our total group (9) nor at a time we could start (they accommodated us to start later). The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable (42 years of giving tours in Goa!) and also amusing. Opportunity for souvenirs near the Hindu temple. Fascinating assortment of Goan cultural history (Hindu, spices, and Portuguese/Catholic) in a very short time (all we had. Surely you could spend much more time). Would definitely recommend. Only drawback was one of our two drivers was…not the best. Most of us felt carsick (and are not first time visitors to India, we are used to the roads & drivers).

A very interesting day out.

Had a very enjoyable tour to visit some old Goan churches, a temple and then lastly a spice tour with lunch. Our guide and driver were both lovely and very accommodating. It was very interesting to see some of the beautiful historical buildings and learn all about them.

Temples and spice plantation..

Very knowledgeable tour guide who explained everything and more around the tour itself as you’d expect but also on the drive down and back and any questions we had along the way, spice plantation was really good, food probably not as good as I was hoping (stated king prawn curry on viatour) however matter. Take some rupees with you for the temples and spice plantation as you will probably want something from the local organis shop

Dear Mr Andy It was a pleasure to serve you and your family in Goa. Many thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to post the review.

Regarding the mention of "King prawn" curry, please note, our description mentions "Prawn curry" only (NO King prawn mentioned). You might have read the description of some other operator.

A lovely day around Old Goa/ Spice Plantation

The guide and driver were excellent catering the discussion around my interests in local culture and customs. While visiting Bom Jesus, I learned that it’s next to the archaeology museum. I asked to tour the museum, but unfortunately it was closed Fridays. I was however able to explore their outdoor collection of architectural remnants which was a treat as an anthropology student. The highlights for me were the temple and the spice plantation. They have a store at the plantation where I was able buy lots of spices and natural soaps.

Spiritual, Spicy & Architectural experience offering a calm break from the beaches and parties.

Our driver and an amazing guide picked us up right on time, we visited several interesting spots and below 02 were the most memorable: The Basilica of Bom Jesus was truly a memorable experience. This historic church carries a deep sense of spirituality and architectural beauty. If you’re in Goa, this iconic site is definitely a must visit. A symbol of Goa’s colonial history and religious heritage, and offers a calm break from the beaches and parties. The scenic Spice plantation: A Wonderful 100-acre private property, we tour a small part of it with a guide that educated us about the therapeutic, cooking properties of the various herbal plants grown there. The visits were followed by a sumptuous lunch buffet and is worth it. Highly recommended for nature lovers, spice enthusiast, or someone looking for a break away from the beaches in Goa.

A stunning canvas known as Old Goa and the mesmerizing aroma of Indian spices from the spice farm

We booked this amazing tour since we wanted to visit Old Goa along with a fabulous spice planation visit. Goa has many faces! But Old Goa is just a stunning canvas painted with amazing architecture, colonial monuments, cobbled paths, and impressive scenery that is coastal. Tropical Spice Plantation Art is a haven for nature lovers, art enthusiasts, and those seeking a holistic experience. As you step foot into the plantation, you'll be greeted by the aromatic scents of various spices that fill the air. Explore the sprawling plantation and witness the cultivation of a wide range of spices like cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Learn about their origin, cultivation techniques, and medicinal properties from knowledgeable guides.
