Mancunia Tour 2010

Mancunia first operated to the Passion Play in 1970 and on five occasions since we have been privileged to take our clients to this marvellous experience. In 2010 we continue this tradition and we are delighted to offer various departures.

We are primarily offering departures from Manchester, Birmingham, and can accommodate Edinburgh and London groups if the flights coincide.

Day 1: Flights are arranged to Munich where you will be met by the Mancunia Tour Leader and transferred directly to Oberammergau - approx. 90 minutes transfer.
On arrival you will be taken to your accommodation. As the village is small and some 4700 persons have to be accommodated, the neighbouring hamlets are also utilised with free transport between them. Dinner will be provided where you are staying, with breakfast the following morning. Your host will hand you the actual Play ticket and a translation of the performance text.

Day 2: In the morning you will be free to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the village, admire the many beautifully frescoed houses, visit the Parish Church of Sts Peter and Paul, the Oberammergau Museum, the Pilatus House Exhibition or wander around the shops displaying their famous wood-carvings.
Lunch will be served in Oberammergau followed by the performance which starts at 2.30pm. There will be a break between 5pm and 8pm when dinner will be served. The Play continues from 8pm till 10.30pm. Return to your accommodation for overnight stay.

Day 3: You will be served breakfast and then you must vacate your rooms. You will be taken to a central area where you will be met by your Tour Leader. A coach will take you to the Benedictine Monastery at Ettal for a brief visit then on to Linderhof Palace, a gem created for King Ludwig II of Bavaria in the late 19th century to resemble the great Chateau of Versailles.
Continue on a scenic journey through the Alps, with a suitable stop to purchase lunch. Arrival in the resort of Seefeld in the Austrian Tyrol in time for dinner.

Day 4 onwards: For the remainder of your holiday you will be based in Seefeld. Details may be found here.
