Itinerary

After pickup from your Mumbai hotel, or the port or railway station, set off to explore by air-conditioned vehicle. Hear about Mumbai’s place as one of India’s largest cities and home of the Bollywood Hindi movie industry, and tell your guide if there’s anything you want to see as your itinerary is flexible.

Learn about Mumbai’s time under British rule from the 18th to the 20th centuries, and admire the Gateway of India, built to commemorate the 1911 visit of King George V. See the nearby landmark Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, opened in 1903, and take in the historical buildings of the University of Mumbai, including the Big Ben-style Rajabai Clock Tower.

Pause at the UNESCO-listed Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus station, and Dhobi Ghat, the world's largest outdoor laundry. You'll also have time to visit the Mani Bhavan Gandhi Museum, the Haji Ali Dargah, a Jain Temple, and the Banganga Tank. Admire Mumbai’s skyline from Kamala Nehru Park, and drive past Marine Drive’s colonial buildings, like the Flora Fountain.

Your tour ends back at your hotel.

Thanks for your 5-star review! We sincerely appreciate your feedback.

Mumbai disappointment

Michael_N, Dec 2023
Bus was uncomfortable. Air conditioning was whistling so we could not hear tour guide. We were contacted before the tour while still at home and asked to change private tour to shared tour and to contact others passengers from the cruise to let them know where the meeting point was. In exchange were promised a gift and would have seating up front due to my disability, either of which was passed on to the tour guide. When we mentioned this to Dev, he did his best to have us sit up front, but we were overall very disappointed with the tour.

Mystical Mumbai Private Tour - Mumbai comes alive!

Jennifer_G, Nov 2023
Mystical Mumbai provided a very professional service with clear, timely and personable pretour communication. Our Small Group Private Tour was enhanced by Raj - our excellent and engaging guide. We all really appreciated his knowledge and expertise giving us insight into the history and culture of Mumbai and making our visit truly memorable. We would highly recommend this tour!

Great Day in Mumbai

the personal touch is what I like most about the Viator's trip - our driver was very kind, and knowledgeable and very flexible.

Catherine S, May 2017
We forget the name of the guide and the driver, the guide is very young and the knowledge is limited and I think he did not have much experiences as a tour guide, although he is nice and very helpful. But we went according to the program such as The Gateway of India and Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, The Mahatma Gandhi's former residence, Big Ben-style Rajabai Clock Tower, the Haji Ali Dargah mosque, Jain Temple and Banganga Tank. Admire Mumbai's skyline from Kamala Nehru Park and drive past Marine Drive's colonial buildings like Flora Fountain and Telegraph building. Also the dhobi ghat, Asia's largest outdoor laundry. We did most of the Private Mumbai Sightseeing Tour in 3-4 hours.

Louisa_M, Apr 2017
We managed to fit most of the main sites in a half day tour which was great. We wished we could have gone inside the train station and also tried to fit one or two other things into the tour but the half day tour we booked did not allow for this time wise. The driver and guides were students studying in Mumbai and they made the our informative and fun. Would recommend if you don't have long in Mumbai.
