Things to do in Mumbai, Maharashtra: The Best Sightseeing Tours

April 7, 2022 Darwin Bolte

Though Mumbai can feel chaotic and crowded, there are peaceful moments to be found here. Nibble a paper cone of bhelpuri while you stroll the sands of Chowpatty Beach. Then, take a short walk to Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi once lived, strategized, and was ultimately arrested. The markets are spirited places to bargain for spices or souvenirs. Take a guided tour of Dharavi – made famous by "Slumdog Millionaire" – for an eye-opening glimpse into what Mumbai life is like for nearly a million people.

We did this tour in Dec last year and to be honest when we booked it I was rather sceptical since it was one of the more expensive activities that my 14 year old daughter who loved Bollywood wanted to do. We had done a tour of India for 18 days and this was what we did as the last thing before we flew home to the UK. We just didn't know what to expect. However.we were most pleasantly surprised. Rahil is the epitome of professionalism. Him and his wife met us and we did a group tour with around 4 other people. We saw the filming of a famous TV serial, watched a dance show, got an insight into some of the sets they use and I even got to do a bit of singing in the recording studio! We were given snacks as we watched the dance show and made to feel most welcome. I have done the big Universal and Warner Brothers tours before and they were great .... this had the makings of something really good and we hope Rahil and his team the best of luck in making this a success.

Bandra became a part of Mumbai only in 1950. Prior to that, it was a separate municipality, and before that, till the mid-19th century, a separate island. In the 16th century, the North Konkan coast came under the control of the Portuguese and Franciscan and Jesuit missionaries began to forcibly convert the population to Christianity.When the Portuguese handed over the seven islands of Bombay to the British, Bandra was not part of the deal. And so, Bandra has a slightly different history from Bombay, and that has a part to play in Bandra retaining its Indo-Portuguese Roman Catholic character in spite of wide-scale development. On our #BandraBreeze open-jeep heritage tour, we breeze through five centuries of Bandra’s history in a two-hour ride.

During lockdown times it was a pleasure to be part of a virtual tour of horniman circle and around. Though i have walked that area so many times i enjoyed listening to the stories and people behind all the buildings there. The host Farokh Jijina was very crisp and clear in his presentation. Brought back memories of the times i worked in that area but also sometines made me wish i was born a 150 years earlier to enjoy these buildings in their heydays.
