What to do and see in Mumbai, Maharashtra: The Best Scenic Railroads

March 31, 2022 Concepcion Newsome

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.

Eyes opening tour in Mumbai We were looking for local guide and some unique to see in Mumbai. As I have heard about the Asia's largest slum in Mumbai. This was our best date to meet Dinesh our guide for Mumbai Dream Tours. We found them online and it was very easy to book this tour. Guide and driver picked up from hotel. We did some sightseeing tour of Mumbai first and Dinesh our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Then finally we had a walking tour in Mumbai slum know as dharavi. We got the right person to go with. Because Dinesh grown up in dharavi Slum and it's was amazing tour for us. It was a best combination tour we had in Mumbai. We highly recommend Mumbai Dream Tours and guide Dinesh if you are going to Mumbai!!

As said by The great Gandhi "A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the souls of its people." so why not travel with one, our company provides you a locally well-versed guide with a car who will accompany you from the start to the end of the tour. We also include a small train ride on the city tour because why only see the local life, why not live one?. Our company adds a little spice to the tour with the hint of local complimentary cuisines. In our Hindu Culture, we believe 'Atithi Devo Bhava' that means 'guest is like a god' and we Indians do not like to upset our gods so your safeties and smile is our first priority. And as said by Prophet in Muslim Culture "Charity does not decrease wealth" so also a free Mehendi(Henna) class is run in the slums of Dharavi for underprivileged girls by our company.

My review isnt really for their tour and travel business but for the NGO these guys run for the people in Dharavi. I got to know through social media that Rahul works towards collecting things to be redistributed amongst the needy in Dharavi. He was absolutely fantastic in sharing information and arranging for the pickup. His team member Vishal helped in transporting the entire lot of items seamlessly. Well spoken and impressive team, working towards a great cause

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.

They say when in Rome do as the Romans do, same applies to Mumbai. This is an off-beat 4-hour tour where you will see Mumbai from a wide angle, a variety of places to visit with the mode of travelling will be walking and public transport. You will see the historic sites with their relevant Gothic architecture, the cultural side of Mumbai where you will see people offering their prayers and morning rituals, as well as feeding the cows as a kind gesture toward them. You will also take a local train ride, however you need not worry about the crowds as you will be traveling on non-busy routes. Visit places such as the Gateway of India, Flower Market, Dhobighat and CST train station. It's like serving Mumbai on a plate. You will be visiting Dhobighat from Inside and not just from Outside

Inclusions: Snacks, Local guide, Transportation during the tour, Dhobighat ( Laundromat) Tour from Inside and not just from Outside

Exclusions: Gratuities, Hotel pickup and drop-off
