Enjoy the highlights of the city from the comfort of an air-conditioned motor coach as you set off on a panoramic driving tour of Mumbai.
Begin with the Gateway of India, the city's most famous landmark built in 1911. Originally an entry point for passengers arriving on P&O steamers from England, it is now remembered as the place where the British staged their final departure.
Your drive includes a look at a most remarkable railway station. Inspired by St Pancras Station in London, the Victoria Terminus was built during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee year. It is an extraordinary conglomeration of domes, spires, Corinthian columns and minarets in a style that was described by journalist James Cameron as "Victorian-Gothic-Saracenic-Italianate-Oriental-St Pancras-Baroque." It’s quite a sight! The first train in India left from this station in April 1853, and today an estimated half million commuters use the station every day.
Continue along Marine Drive, Mumbai's seaside promenade, to the Jain Temple, built of marble and dedicated to Adinath, the first of the twenty-four Jain prophets.
You'll stop briefly for photos at Kamala Nehru Park, offering a superb view of the city center in the distance.
Your next photo stop is the famous dhobi ghats, where each morning laundry from all over Mumbai is brought to be soaped, soaked, boiled and thrashed, then returned to its rightful owner the next day, cleaned and pressed.
End your tour with a transfer to the airport.
Please note:
