Highlights
They say Mumbai is not a city. It is an emotion. To understand that emotion, you need someone who was born and brought up in this city, written about it and walked its streets with curious travellers for 8+ years. I am Takshak, a published travel author; my book 'An Away Game' follows three Mumbaikars chasing the FIFA World Cup Final to Russia, where they meet people from around the globe, drawing the threads between Mumbai and the wider world. That same eye for story is what I bring to every tour. My wife, Neha, is a Bollywood choreographer who joins select tours, turning the afternoon into a hands-on dance experience that no stage show or cultural performance can replicate. For those drawn to Mumbai's spiritual and philosophical depth, my 'Hinduism Iceberg' series on YouTube gives you a sense to explore the country's cultural soul. Do note that you are totally free to add or skip a few places as per your taste!

Itinerary
This is the birthplace of Indian railways, from where the first train started. Much historical value and beautiful Victorian architecture! Also, a world UNESCO heritage sight.
The Art Hub of the City. This place has an Art Gallery, a Musuem and a Library, all next to each other. You can spend as much time as you want in either or all of them!
One of the most iconic places in Mumbai, the Gateway of India is usually on the top of must visit places for travelers.
The iconic Taj Mahal hotel, also infamous for the 2008 Terrorist bombings! You have seen this luxurious hotel in the news and movies. Take a sneak peek here!
This seems more European than Indian as you will see hordes of travelers on the streets here buying Indian accessories and handicrafts or enjoying a beer at the Leopold's cafe
Also known as the Big Ben of Mumbai, this is a replica of the original London Big Ben and is now a UNESCO world Heritage site which is converted to the Mumbai University
Another UNESCO world Heritage site, this mammoth Victorian Structure is flooded with Advocates and Lawyers, in case you have any complains of the tour! :D
Known as the 'Queen's Necklace', this curved road by the sea indeed looks like a necklace when the street light are lit up after sunset!
While Juhu beach is the more popular one, this small beach in the city is also visited by many travelers
ISKCON temple has several branches worldwide. However, this one in Mumbai is located next to the beach, which makes it special!
Mumbaikars make it a point to visit this temple and seek the blessings of Lord Shiva, one of the oldest in the city!
The first wholesale market in Mumbai. If Amazon had a physical version, it would be this - selling all products from A to Z. However, it is famous for spices and fruits!

About Mumbai
Mumbai is India's restless, glamorous megacity on the Arabian Sea, a city of colonial landmarks, seaside promenades, film studios and street food.
The Gateway of India faces the harbour beside the grand Taj Mahal Palace hotel, and Colaba's streets fill with cafés and markets. The Gothic-revival Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Victorian and Art Deco buildings around the Oval Maidan show the city's architectural ambition.
Top-ranked sights in Mumbai: Gateway of India, Dhobi Ghat, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT).
