I went on the tour led by Abhi yesterday. He delivered a really informative tour and was happy to answer my many questions! We had lots of interesting conversations about Mumbai and India, in addition to the amazing architecture in South Mumbai. He also had great food recommendations and even walked me to a more quiet part where I could get a taxi back as I'm solo travelling from the UK. Abhi is knowledgeable, approachable, kind and fun. I have done many walking tours in Europe but this will stand out. I appreciated the opportunity to learn from Abhi older history and also the more recent events that have shaped Mumbai - it felt bigger than an architecture tour. Thank you Abhi!

Program

Walk Mumbai's heritage district
and discover Gothic and Art Deco architecture

This tour explores South Mumbai's heritage district on foot with an English-speaking guide for about 2 hours 30 minutes. Your guide highlights key historical moments and architectural features, telling the story of how Mumbai grew from a colonial port town into today's metropolis. Along the way, you can also taste local street food such as vada pav and pani puri.

Start in Colaba and visit the Gateway of India

Meet your guide in front of PizzaExpress in Colaba to start the tour. First, visit the Gateway of India on the waterfront and listen to your guide's commentary for about 15 minutes.

Admire the Gothic Revival architecture of the High Court and the University of Mumbai

Walk through the heart of Mumbai's heritage district and admire the High Court and the University of Mumbai, two landmarks of the Gothic Revival style. There's also time to take photos in front of iconic heritage buildings including the Rajabai Clock Tower.

Compare two architectural styles at a glance at Oval Maidan

At Oval Maidan, 19th-century Gothic facades line one side while elegant Art Deco buildings stand on the other, so you can see the contrast between the two styles at a glance. Hear how the two styles reflect Mumbai's colonial past and modern aspirations.

Explore CST station and finish at Churchgate Station
