Public Transport Tour
In the areas we visit on the public transport tour, you will observe some of Mumbai's hardest-working labourers. We'll discover Mumbai beyond the typical tourist sites; we'll see a number of different markets and the world famous Dabbawallahs. This view of the Maximum city will truly give you an idea of the struggle and challenges felt by the working class, as well as a sense of their unconquerable spirit. Go with the flow of Mumbai's people, the pulse of the Maximum city.
The dabbawallah operation is one of the most organised unwritten systems in the world. Every day, millions of lunches are collected from individual homes and then delivered to offices and worksites. Check out this phenomenon at Churchgate, a famous railway station in South Mumbai.
One of the largest, bustling flea markets in the whole country, Chor Bazaar (literally 'Thieves Market') sells almost anything! Taste some local sweets, or take home delicious home-made pickles and chutneys!
A lively fruit, vegetable, fish and meat market. Visually impressive and full of powerful, varied smells.
See the dhobiwallahs, or washermen, scrubbing sheets from Mumbai's largest hospitals and hotels at this busy outdoor laundry area!
In India, flowers are used everywhere- in temples, in taxis, at home, in women's hair, and for all kinds of worship. Here, you will see more flowers in one place than you've ever seen before!
See one of the busiest railway stations in the country at rush hour, and the site of the terrorist attacks in November 2008. The award-winning movie "Slumdog Millionaire" was also shot here. Based on St Pancreas Station in London, this World Heritage Site is gloriously lit up in the evening, and you will enjoy this view with a cold drink at the end of the tour.
Meeting Points Regal Cinema in Colaba. End Point Churchgate train station
Option 2
A tour through the historic markets of South Mumbai is a taste of true India. The wide streets and narrow alleyways are alive with activity. In front of colonial buildings and alongside temples and mosques, vendors shout from carts that sell everything from colourful birds, to spicy snacks, to flowers and Indian clothes. Markets are essential to the daily life of every Mumbaikar, and our tour will give visitors a glimpse of this vibrant part of Bombay's streets.
See the mix of Romanesque & Gothic architectural styles that define South Mumbai. This fruit and vegetable market is also famous for its sales of exotic animals!
Some of India's most famous fashion designers purchase cloth for their creations here!
Taste something spicy at this popular market! From chaats to masala dosa, every Indian street food can be found here.
This is the historical Hindu temple after which 'Mumbai' city was named. Here, one can receive 'prasad,' blessings from Hindu priests.
A market that has been famous for flowers for nearly 100 years!
This is one of the oldest spaces used for the welfare of cows: over 400 cows live here! The cow is considered sacred by Hindus, and to increase their karma, people will come to the shelter to feed the cows.
