Detailed Itinerary
Step back in time and learn about the city’s humble beginnings and how it has transformed into the vibrant city it is today.
We start at the iconic Town Hall, a place filled with fascinating stories from the mid-1800s. This building will leave you awestruck with tales of international treasures, its connection with the Father of India and Pakistan, and its multi-purpose use during the early days!
We'll take a stroll around the Horniman Circle Garden. Discover the fascinating connection between Benjamin Guy Horniman, an Irish journalist and India. Feel the charm of Bombay as we enter the historic St. Thomas Cathedral, which played a significant role in the city's early days.
We'll pause at a traditional Irani café, where you can savour delightful local treats like a bun maska. It's the perfect way to recharge before we visit the magnificent Flora Fountain—an architectural marvel that tells its own story of Mumbai's rich past.
And let's not forget the thrilling era of Mumbai's speakeasies and Aunty Bars. We'll uncover the hidden tales of secret gatherings during prohibition. Next, we'll make our way to the Bombay Stock Exchange—the beating heart of Mumbai's economy. We’ll also pass by Mahatma Gandhi’s office and walk around the art district of Mumbai!
Our journey concludes at the old docks of Mumbai, where you’ll hear extraordinary stories of the enigmatic Ice King and the day it rained gold in Mumbai.
This city is a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, and we can't wait to share it all with you.
