Mormugao, Goa

[tring]

Has anyone called at Mormugao and, if so, are there taxis easily available at the port and, if so, how much do they charge for a day?  If we hire a taxi for a day we will be looking to travel about 50 miles in total.

 

Also is there much to see near the port if we hire a tuk tuk  to take us around a bit?

Hi

 

I could have sworn I replied to you but it has gone!

 

Very easy to get taxis at all the ports on this cruise. We mostly paid with US dollar. Make sure you get one with aircon. Its very hot. Unfortunately I cannot remember how much they charged. They are not very big cars and we only once shared with an Italian passenger who really ruined it for us because we agreed a fee upfront and he wanted to do further miles which would have risked not getting back to the ship on time. When we got back he refused to give the driver the agreed amount. Very silly.

 

I looked at the Costa website prior to going and then decided what we wanted to see and confirmed on line. Then made myself little printouts to give to the drivers who took us to all the places we wanted to go. Worked out pretty well. 

 

Not punting but there are lots of photos on the review I did for this cruise under my name. It is called our passage to India etc. It was on the NeoClassica which is no more but the ports are all the same.

 

Have fun.
