Private Portuguese Heritage Tour: Se Cathedral, Basilica of Bom Jesus en Dona Paula Beach in Goa
Beschrijving
Ontdek de historische Portugese invloeden van Goa op deze privétocht van een halve dag. Kom meer te weten over de koloniale geschiedenis van Goa terwijl je een aantal van de meest Portugees-geïnspireerde plekken van de regio bezoekt, waaronder de kathedraal van Se en de basiliek van Bom Jesus, die op de werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO staat. Bezoek dan Fontainhas, het zwaar Portugees invloeden Quartier Latin in de stad Panaji, voordat je je verwondert over een fantastisch uitzicht op de Arabische Zee vanuit een van Goa's verborgen juweeltjes, de Dona Paula Jetty. Na uw rondleiding kunt u ervoor kiezen om te genieten van een traditionele Goan en Portugese lunch in het populaire restaurant O'Coquerio.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Ontmoet je gids in je Goa hotel en reis in privé comfort met airconditioning naar het UNESCO-werelderfgoed, de Basiliek van Born Jesus. Loop over de marmeren vloer die is ingelegd met edelstenen en bezoek de overblijfselen van de katholieke missionaris St Francis Xavier. Lees meer over het leven van deze man van je gids, evenals van de gedetailleerde schilderijen die het interieur decoreren. Ga naar boven naar een galerij met surrealistische schilderijen van Dom Martin, een goaanschilder.
Reis te voet naar Se Cathedral, bekend bij de lokale bevolking als Se Cathedral of Santa Catarina. Deze Portugese architectuur in gotische stijl herbergt een van de grootste klokken in Goa en is opgedragen aan een heilige die in de 4e eeuw werd gemarteld vanwege haar christelijke toewijding
Wandel door het Quartier Latin, bekend als Fontainhas, en ervaar de bezienswaardigheden, geluiden en smaken van de Portugese invloed uit de eerste hand tijdens het verkennen van de straten.
Maak een stop bij St Sebastian Chapel, waar beelden van historische figuren zoals Abade Faria, een rooms-katholieke monnik, worden getoond.
Ga vervolgens comfortabel op weg naar de steiger van Dona Paula, een vredige baai waar epische uitzichten op de haven van Mormugao en de Arabische Zee zorgen voor de perfecte foto. Geniet van het natuurlijke wonder van de scène die uniek is voor deze uit de weg liggende schat voordat je naar een kleine markt op de waterweg gaat.

We had a very pleasant time at this half day tour of Goa's main highlights, and our guide Mahesh and driver Dilip were very accommodating and understanding, especially with my elderly parents who were with us on the tour. Having an air-conditioned car in the heat of the day was a blessing, and highly recommended if you do not wish to do a tour entirely on foot (i.e., a walking tour). Our favourite stop of the tour was at Fontainhas, which was an absolute oasis in the middle of the bustling city of Panaji. I recommend this tour if you want to learn about the history of Goa and landmarks of cultural significance.
This tour was a fraud, not by the Portuguese operator Pinto Lopes Viagens, but by the internal Guides. Never in any trip have we had guides so weak. The guide who accompanied us never gave information about where we were, when we were doing it or were incorrect or read previously on the mobile phone. The guide of Goa, did not know the hours, thought that they were closing at 18h but they had the indication of 17h (the hours were in an old table!!), so we did not enter 3 CHURCHES (example Basilica of Good Jesus), the cathedral went in and out. In Diu of the 4 churches programmed, 3 were in restoration, the Fortress of Panikotha we only saw it from land, we were in the Forte de Diu, we came to the truck and asked the guide and the city where it is "here" we had to put pressure to take us to the city.
Dyanadeep was a great guide. Shared a lot of knowledge of the Portuguese history of Goa, plus a lot of current plans for improvement. Enjoyed the walk through the Latin Quarter. Our driver, Ramesh, was excellent navigating his way through the Goan traffic.
Our expectations have been superseded by the actual heritage that is available in Goa. It attracts also lots of Indian youth

Nice tour, quite relaxing and comfortable (about 4 hours max, but it’s fine). Expect to see three main churches in old Goa (Se, St.Anton and Franciscan monastery), magnificent Immaculate Conception church in Panjin (was closed at moment due to anti-COVID measures), walk along old Portuguese quarter of Fontaines and see views from Dona Paula point.
