Description

Using a printed guide can help you notice the sights while you stroll across the city. However, you won’t discover anything about them. This 2.5-hour stroll around what was originally the southern part of Mumbai’s colonial Fort allows you to see small things that you may otherwise miss and hear the fascinating stories that are hidden by the city’s big architecture.

You can explore Dharavi, learn about Banganga culture, take a leisurely walk through Bandra’s sleepy fishing villages and know more about the past. Dadar’s flower market comes alive with the day’s blooms, and Wake Up Mumbai shows you how the city is already busy at dawn as the fishing boats arrive at Sassoon Docks. There aren’t many public excursions offered by Ivory Trails excursions, but you can reserve a number of their pre-made tours for a private group. For families or private groups, the company also provides e-Victoria carriage rides and open Jeep trips.
