Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Gateway of India, Apollo Bandar, Colaba, Mumbai 400001 India

Mumbai's most famous monument, this is the starting point for most tourists who want to explore the city. It was built as a triumphal arch to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, complete with four turrets and intricate latticework carved into the yellow basalt stone. Ironically, when the Raj ended in 1947, this colonial symbol also became a sort of epitaph: the last of the British ships that set sail for England left from the Gateway. Today this symbol of colonialism has got Indianised, drawing droves of local tourists and citizens. Behind the arch, there are steps leading down to the water.


Duration: 35 minutes

Stop At: Colaba, Mumbai 400005 India

You also get to go on a ferry tour, cruising along the Mumbai city's coast line.

Stop At: Colaba Market, Hormusji Road, Mumbai India

Shopping is the first reason why Colaba Causeway is famous, the next being food! From cheap, street clothes to fashionable boutiques, this lane, which houses old buildings from the British Raj, has it all. While you can stroll through the footpaths and look for clothes, shoes, purses, and even jewelry in the latest designs, you can also step into one of the boutiques and look at exquisite furnishings, clothes, etc. The street vendors sell the latest fashion at throwaway prices, which can be bargained for to a great extent. It is always good to spend some time here; you never know what steal you will find.

It is Gothic architecture at its best, an awesome edifice that most citizens view with deep pride. At the top of the central dome stands the triumphant figure of Progress. The station was christened to commemorate Victoria Jubilee Day in 1887 when India's first steam engine puffed out to neighboring Thane, about 45 kms away. Today it has been rechristened Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus after the Maratha warrior. And the old steam engines have been replaced by electric ones. But to the 2.5 million commuters who push past its massive portals every day, this is still VT, the pulse of a throbbing city.

The "laundries" are called "ghats": row upon row of concrete wash pens, each fitted with its own flogging stone. The clothes are soaked in sudsy water, thrashed on the flogging stones, then tossed into huge vats of boiling starch and hung out to dry. Next they are ironed and piled into neat bundles, almost two hundred dhobis and their families work together in what has always been a hereditary occupation.

In the early 18th century the British partially demolished the fort. This was done as a precautionary measure to avoid the possibility of the fort being used by the Marathas as a forward military base to attack British ruled Bombay.

I was not impressed with the tour. It started off with the driver picking me up from my hotel and then stopping off at a train station to pick up the tour guide. I would have enjoyed stopping off at the vegetable/produce areas. We did stop off at one of the out door laundry. With the broken English - I had to ask the tour guide at least twice at every stop can he repeat what he was saying. This was a VERY LAID BACK EXPERIENCE AND WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS TOUR OR OTHERS FROM THIS COMPANY. If correct - If I remembered ?? maybe only one person provided a comment on this tour and I guess this should have been an INDICATOR.

My guide Sunil and driver Dube were excellent. They have brought me to more than 10 places, such as Slum Area, Iskcon Temple, Juhu Beach, Band Stand, Dhobi Ghat, Victoria Train Station, Prince of Wales Museum, Gateway of India, Oval Maidan, Marine Drive, Jain Temple, Kamala Neru Park, Hanging Garden and Mani Dhavan. Sunil allowed me reasonable time to visit Prince of Wales and Mani Dhavan. I had also informed Sunil to take me to where locals eat, including Street Food, and he was delighted that a foreigner was game to try a non-touristy joint.
