🔹 Tour Overview

Step into Mumbai’s living heartbeat, where palaces meet pavements and history collides with the hustle of everyday life. This is not just a tour – it’s a crash course in being Mumbaikar for a day.

We begin at the iconic Taj Mahal Palace, wander past the Gateway of India, and then switch gears into the city’s true lifeline – its public transport. From buses to locals, shared taxis to the metro, you’ll discover how 20 million people keep this city moving every single day. Along the way, you’ll uncover landmarks, soak in the skyline from Chaitya Bhumi, relive political and cricketing history at Shivaji Park, and end with Irani chai – the sweetest reward of all. This is Mumbai as Mumbaikars live it: fast, flavorful, unforgettable.
