They say Mumbai is not a city. It is an emotion. To understand that emotion, you need someone who was born and brought up in this city, written about it and walked its streets with curious travellers for 8+ years.
I am Takshak, a published travel author; my book 'An Away Game' follows three Mumbaikars chasing the FIFA World Cup Final to Russia, where they meet people from around the globe, drawing the threads between Mumbai and the wider world. That same eye for story is what I bring to every tour.
My wife, Neha, is a Bollywood choreographer who joins select tours, turning the afternoon into a hands-on dance experience that no stage show or cultural performance can replicate. For those drawn to Mumbai's spiritual and philosophical depth, my 'Hinduism Iceberg' series on YouTube gives you a sense to explore the country's cultural soul.
Do note that you are totally free to add or skip a few places as per your taste!
