Vadodara, DeshGujarat, 27 September, 2009
Tourists in Vadodara will be able to board an air-conditioned mini bus, which will take them on a guided tour of the city.
The service was kicked off today on the World Tourism Day in the city.
While, the service will be handled by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat, Vadodara Municipal Corporation(VMC) would provide the tour guide, literature about famous landmark, monuments and places to the tourists. VMC will also handle booking at its Pravasi Gruh opposite the railway station. Vadodara District Tourism Development Committee and district administration is also contributing to this idea.
According to sources, the bus would start the journey at the station and take a circular route in which famous spots, including EME temple, Planetarium at Sayajibaugh, Kirtimandir, Maharshi Arvind Ashram near Lakdi Pul, Fatehsinh Museum would be covered before its return to the station.
The bus service will be divided into two parts: on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, city tour will be conducted, while on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the tour will cover city tour and tourist places located near the city. The main attraction of the tour will be visit to Lakshmi Vilas palace and Fatehsingh Rao Museum, which were not open to tourists.
A special discount offer has been given for the month October. District collector office intends to start industrial and religious tours if this primary tour succeeds.

EXCELLENT THING………….ALL NRI………….WELL COME……………….HIP……..HIP…..HURAY
I hope it does well…..will it be a hop on hop off tour like in european cities…with panaromic windows?…double decker!!? all the best
Our so called Tourist officers should feel shame for their non-commitment to this noble work of tourism which is the true window to the world outside.
They have nothing to do except have parties at the Govt rest houses with drinks and dinner.
I felt shame to be called Gujarati when I had visited Tithal and stayed at Tourism cottage which has one of the worst
cottages I have seen. I make it a point to stay at Tourism accomodation mostly instead of hotel and mostly has benefited with good service, facility…only Gujarat has spoiled its name in India. Anybody from Tourism Dept listening??
I hope this service do not become another fiasco as its past edition of Tourist bus in Vadodara (I know the fate of it coz I am citizen of Vadodara)
