The sets are still in use for live shooting, so you're walking through working film stages.

A guided tour of Mumbai's Bollywood studio lot where you walk through grand sets built for blockbuster films like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Jodha Akbar, and Kick. The studio gates open onto sculptures of elephants, dinosaurs and horses; inside, you move through Baroda Palace, Shaniwar Wada, Agra Fort, and other recreated locations, including the Sheesh Mahal carved with over one billion mirror pieces. A local guide leads the walking tour; hotel pickup and a light meal are included. The pace is moderate—roughly three hours of walking across the studio grounds—and the sets remain active, so you're seeing stages that may be in use for filming.

The Experience

The tour starts with pickup from your Mumbai hotel or location, then a drive to the studio gates where you enter through sculptures of giant elephants, dinosaurs and horses that mark the entrance. Once inside, you walk through sets that have stood for decades of Indian cinema: Baroda Palace from Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Shaniwar Wada from Panipat, Agra Fort from Jodha Akbar, and the Club set from Sanju. These aren't replicas built for tourists—they're working stages where crews still shoot, so the scale and detail are built to camera standards, not to a visitor's eye.

Beyond the major film sets, the studio lot includes a full recreated town: Village Set-up, Mumbai's Town Square, Fashion Street, a Jail, Restaurant, Chor Bazaar and Khau Galli (Food Bazaar). The Sheesh Mahal stands out—a room carved with over one billion mirror pieces, used in Salman Khan's Prem Ratan Dhan Payoo. Your guide walks you through each location, explaining which films and TV series (Ashoka, Big Boss, Kaun Banega Crorepati) were shot there. The walking covers roughly three hours across the grounds, and you'll need comfortable shoes and a hat.

The tour wraps with a drive back to your hotel, airport or cruise terminal. A light meal and bottled water are included; if you need a vegetarian option, let the operator know when booking. The guide speaks English and Hindi, and the group stays small enough that you're not navigating the sets in a crowd.

Is this one for you?This tour asks for a moderate amount of walking over three hours, so it suits someone with a free afternoon and comfortable shoes rather than a quick stop. The sets are working stages, not static exhibits, which means the experience changes depending on what's being filmed—you're seeing Bollywood production as it actually happens, not a preserved version of it.
