Make your way to a centrally-located meeting point in Colaba for 9am departure, then set out on foot through the bustling neighborhood. Take advantage of your time with a local guide to ask questions about Mumbai history and daily life—you’ll pause frequently to see interesting landmarks, stroll down back alleys, and see some of Colaba’s hidden gems.

Your walking route passes through a few of Colaba’s local markets and neighborhood temples, with the possibility of a visit to a family home, the perfect way to see the real India. Spot residents, or Mumbaikars, relaxing at the cricket maidan and hanging out in area restaurants. Colaba and South Mumbai also have a fascinating collection of religious, political, social, and cultural landmarks, and you’ll learn the story of each one you visit.

Pause for a few snacks, then sit down for a laid-back brunch, and enjoy some time to chat about the things you’ve passed. This 3-hour walking tour of South Mumbai concludes near the original departure point.

Indian History! Wow!

Swati_S, Nov 2023
So much history!! My guide, Chetan, was so knowledgeable and friendly. We walked all over and took the time to see and discuss history, buildings and more! He works for a local company called Reality Tours and Travel which gives back to the commmunity. I loved this tour and loved my fresh sugar cane juice atop too!

Excellent to Mumbai
