If you have less time in the city and want to explore the highlights of Mumbai’s tourist insignias, then Mumbai Highlights is just the one for you. Cover Mumbai’s top highlights that you cannot miss on your visit to the city.
A starting point for almost every soul that wants to explore the city, this tour too starts from the Gateway of India, Mumbai’s very own victory arch, built as a symbol of the power of the British. Ironically, this beautiful structure also marked the end of British rule. Furthermore, explore the Kala Ghoda neighbourhood, the city's premier art district. You will drive past a large number of the city's heritage buildings, museums, art galleries and educational institutions.
Post this, you get to see the Dabbawalas (Shut on weekends), the 6 Sigma workers of Mumbai sending over 5, 00, 000 boxes of lunch to their rightful owners with extreme precision.
Driving down to what’s presently called the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST). The first train of India departed from CST. Today, the station sees a footfall of nearly a million people daily.
Our next stop has the power to make your jaw drop. It is an area where the laundrymen, more popularly known as the Dhobhis, wash the clothes of Mumbai folks. With nearly most of Mumbai’s washing done here, it comes as a little surprise that these guys can be safely christened as the ‘Washing Machines’ of Mumbai.
The next stop, Mani Bhavan, a modest two-storied building, served as Gandhi's Bombay headquarters for about seventeen long and eventful years (1917-1934). It was from Mani Bhavan that Gandhi initiated Civil Disobedience, Satyagraha, Swadeshi, Khadi and Khilafat movements.
No classic Mumbai experience is complete without indulging in its beloved snack-so we’ve included a hands-on Vada Pav workshop at a local restaurant, where you’ll not only learn to make this local favorite but also get to relish your own creation (based on availability).
Please note: Don’t book this if you are doing the Five Senses tour.
