Mumbai Tour

Service Description

Upon on the shores of the Arabian Sea lies Mumbai formerly known as Bombay. A megacity, today this is India’s financial capital. Starting out as a fishing village comprising seven islands, Mumbai grew to become the agglomeration of culture, textiles, art, music, dance and movies. In 1845 reclaimed land from the sea connected the seven Isles and Mumbai became a major seaport on the western shores of India. Today the metropolis boasts of some of the wealthiest inhabitants in all of Asia. A visit to the Gateway of India or the harbour waterfront to see ships sailing, docking, unloading and hooting for departure, adds to the general hullaballoo of this metropolis changing colours every day.
