The experience

The tour picks you up from your hotel and starts on a motorbike with a young local guide who knows how to move through Mumbai's congested streets. You'll wear a helmet and ride past the Municipal Corporation building, Bombay High Court and Crawford Market (a wholesale produce and spice market founded in 1871) before reaching the major stops. The motorbike lets you slip through traffic during peak hours, which is when most visitors are stuck in cars.

Victoria Terminus, the UNESCO-listed railway station built in 1878, shows Victorian-Gothic architecture that defined colonial Mumbai. From there you'll pass Marine Drive, which curves along the Arabian Sea on reclaimed land from 1920, and reach the Gateway of India: the arch monument erected in the early twentieth century to commemorate King-Emperor George V's landing in 1911. You'll also visit Hanging Gardens, built in 1881 over one of the city's main water reservoirs, and Kamala Nehru Park, one of Mumbai's oldest parks, which has a large shoe structure inspired by the nursery rhyme. Dhobi Ghat, the world's largest outdoor laundry with rows of concrete wash pens, is a popular stop for visitors wanting to see how the city's clothes are cleaned at scale.

The guide will also take you to Mani Bhavan Gandhi Museum, where Gandhi coordinated his political activities in Mumbai between 1917 and 1934, and Banganga Tank, an ancient water tank in the Walkeshwar Temple Complex on Malabar Hill. You'll see the University of Mumbai, one of India's oldest universities established in 1857, and have a lunch break partway through. After five hours, you'll be dropped back at your hotel. Bring a moderate level of fitness for the ride. The tour is not suitable for children under 12.

The motorbike can navigate through traffic congestion that would trap a car, so you reach each landmark without the delays that slow down regular sightseeing tours during peak hours.

Yes, Victoria Terminus is the former name of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, the UNESCO-listed railway station built in 1878 in Victorian-Gothic style.
