What’s the experience like?

“Look at that!” someone in our group pointed as we rolled past the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus—its old stone arches catching the morning sun. Our guide kept us laughing with stories about the city’s wild history, and honestly, I’d never realized how much life buzzes around every corner here. The bus windows fogged up a bit from the AC mixing with the humid air outside, so I wiped a circle to catch a glimpse of the busy street vendors setting up for the day.

We stopped at Dhobi Ghat just as workers were slapping wet clothes against concrete slabs—water splashing everywhere and a steady rhythm echoing through the open air. The smell of soap drifted over as our guide explained how this laundry has run for generations. Later, at Mani Bhavan Gandhi Sangrahalaya, I found myself lingering by Gandhi’s old spinning wheel while our guide shared stories about his time in Mumbai that you don’t find in most books.

Driving along Marine Drive felt like a movie scene—kids playing cricket on one side, couples perched on the sea wall, and that salty breeze coming off the water. We wandered through Kala Ghoda’s art-filled streets and peeked into St. Thomas Cathedral before heading to the Hanging Gardens for an unexpected view over the city’s rooftops. By late afternoon, everyone was swapping stories and sharing snacks as we watched locals gather near Gateway of India.
