Arrive at Mumbai airport and transfer to your hotel. The evening is free to relax or take an optional night city tour, where Marine Drive, the Gateway of India, and the illuminated skyline showcase Mumbai’s charm after dark. Overnight in Mumbai.
Rise early for the Mumbai by Dawn Tour — witness the city’s underbelly as it wakes. Visit Sassoon Docks to see fishermen unload their catch, walk through fragrant flower markets, and watch newspaper vendors sort their morning editions with military precision.
Late morning, meet the Dabbawalas — the world’s most efficient lunch delivery network. Learn how their simple yet ingenious color-coding system delivers hundreds of thousands of meals daily with near-perfect accuracy. Overnight in Mumbai.
Step into the glamorous world of Indian cinema on a Bollywood Tour. Explore film sets, post-production studios, and maybe even catch a live shoot.
In the afternoon, visit Dharavi, Asia’s most talked-about slum, for a Slum Tour that focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship — from leather workshops to recycling hubs and pottery units, this is a testament to Mumbai’s resilience. Overnight in Mumbai.
In the morning, join a Colonial Heritage Walk through Mumbai’s historic Fort area. Marvel at architectural gems like the UNESCO-listed Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Flora Fountain, Rajabai Clock Tower, and the vibrant Kala Ghoda art district.
