Walk through the pages of Bombay’s imperial history in this immersive, story-led experience titled, "Imperial Bombay".
We begin at the Gateway of India, tracing the city’s origins as a British stronghold. Wander through the lanes of Colaba Causeway and into Fort, where you’ll encounter landmarks like the Prince of Wales Museum, Dalal Street, and the majestic St. Thomas Cathedral.
At Flora Fountain, revolutionary voices rise from the past, setting the stage for our walk past the Bombay High Court and University of Mumbai, towering testaments to colonial ambition and intellectual awakening.
Crossing the Oval Maidan, we literally move through time — from Gothic to Art Deco — before catching a break at Marine Drive, where modern Mumbai breathes.
Finally, hop into a local cab for the last ride to the iconic CST Station, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and wrap up the tour with two local legends: Vada Pav and Pav Bhaji — because no story of Bombay is complete without its flavours.
