Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Begin with pickup at 9am from your hotel in Mumbai, then make the first stop of the day at Haji Ali Dargah, a 15th-century mosque and tomb set on a tiny coastal islet. Hear the story of Sayyed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari, and the legends that surround the mosque, which is surrounded by water at high tide.

Take a break for a buffet lunch of Mumbai cuisine, then continue to Dhobi Ghat, an open-air laundry that’s used by thousands of people from around the city. This is the perfect place to get a glimpse of daily life for the Mumbai poor, who wash clothing by hand in long lines of open tubs.

Stop 3

See the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi at Mani Bhawan, then visit the Raja bhai, the University of Mumbai clock tower that’s a Big Ben look-alike.

Stop 4

Other colonial era landmarks you’ll cover include the High Court and Victoria Terminus Station, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a unique blend of Gothic Revival architecture and Indian themes.

Stop 5

Trace the edge of the Arabian Sea on Marine Drive, taking in the coast from Nariman Point to Chowpatty Beach, a favorite place to cool off from the Mumbai heat.

After visiting the coast, this tour concludes with drop-off at your Mumbai accommodations.
