About this experience

South Mumbai is where the story of the city is easiest to read. Within a few kilometres you move from the seafront arch where British viceroys landed, to a grand harbour-side hotel, a Victorian railway cathedral and the house where Mahatma Gandhi worked and lived for years. This tour links them in one relaxed day, with a guide who explains what you are looking at and why it matters.

Because the tour is fully private, the order and pace are yours. Want more time inside the Gandhi museum, or a longer lunch break before the market? Tell your guide on the day and the plan changes. Your chauffeur handles traffic and parking so the day stays calm.

9:00 AM

Hotel pick-up

Your chauffeur and guide meet you at your hotel or address in Mumbai. The guide shares a short overview of the day over the first drive.

9:30 AM

Gateway of India, Apollo Bunder

The basalt arch finished in 1924 to mark the 1911 visit of King George V and Queen Mary. Your guide explains its Indo-Saracenic design and why this waterfront became the ceremonial entrance to British Bombay.

10:30 AM

The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel

Walk across the road to the landmark hotel that opened in 1903. See the exterior, the domes and the lobby areas open to visitors, and hear the story behind its founding.

11:30 AM

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT)

A UNESCO World Heritage Site built between 1878 and 1888 in Victorian Gothic style. Your guide points out the stone carvings, the stained glass and the working station life that still runs through it.

1:00 PM

Lunch break

A relaxed meal at a restaurant you choose or one your guide recommends. Vegetarian, Jain and other dietary needs are noted in advance.

2:30 PM

Mani Bhavan Gandhi Museum

The modest house where Gandhi stayed in Mumbai between 1917 and 1934. Letters, photographs and a small library show the quieter side of the independence movement.

4:00 PM

Crawford Market (Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Market)

A Victorian market from 1869 with carved friezes at its entrance and aisles of spices, dry fruit and fresh produce. A good place for gifts and for seeing everyday Mumbai.
