Description

We at Get Local offer unforgettable tours in Mumbai, where an expert who understands the scenic nuances of the uniquely selected locales, seamlessly binds them together to create a visual experience that unravels in the form of a movie.From British Bombay to Modern Mumbai, our local tour guide in Mumbai leads you across some of the most charming gullies in the city alongside a compelling storyline. Mumbai is a city that is meant to be experienced and there is no better way to do it than knowing how this city evolved. This city has many shades or personalities so we have curated this tour in a way where we show you 3 major personalities which Mumbai has acquired as she grew up from being a cluster of islands to the financial capital of India. The story title is, 'A Symphony of Seven Islands.' The locations have been picked based on the storyline and our guide is the narrator who will take you through various parts of the city using different modes of local transport. In just one day, you will literally end up knowing Mumbai in a way that will make you develop a personal connection with her soul. Our day begins at the iconic Gateway of India, where the guide does a warm introduction with the group and reads the introduction of the story. The first personality we get introduced to is “Imperial Bombay” to understand the British influence on this city. We wander through a mix of sites such as St. Thomas Church, Mumbai’s oldest Anglican church, Bombay Stock Exchange, Flora Fountain, Bombay University and the High Court, before reaching the elegant Marine Drive. We then hop on a local black and yellow cab to see the crown jewel of Imperial Bombay which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and then taste two of the most iconic dishes of the city without which your trip to Mumbai would be incomplete. Now, it’s time to ride the local train. This journey will lead us to another shade of this city, a completely different personality which we have named, “Bombay Black”. This is the raw, unfiltered side of Mumbai where every lane is a new market and we make our way through waves of markets and stop at the fascinating antique market of Chor Bazaar. This is the part of Mumbai where we truly get a feel of the city’s pulse. Next, we catch another train which will bring us to a bird’s eye view of the famous Dhobi Ghat, the open-air laundry colony. It is from here we come face to face with the final personality of the city which we have named, “The Megapolis”. This is Mumbai’s soaring skyline where skyscrapers rise like New York’s skyline. We take a short cab ride through this concrete jungle to reach another neighbourhood which is the cultural heart of Mumbai. We end the tour with a peaceful walk to an open deck at a nearby beach, where the sun sets over the Arabian Sea. This is where the city’s story comes full circle that will leave you with an unforgettable ending to “ A Symphony of Seven Islands”.
