Kickstart your day with an unforgettable journey through Mumbai’s iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Starting at 5 AM, this tour is designed to immerse you in the vibrant energy of the city while exploring its rich heritage and cultural diversity.

We begin at Sassoon Dock, one of the city’s oldest and busiest fishing hubs. Arriving early lets you witness the dock at its liveliest, as fishermen haul in their fresh catch and local vendors prepare for the day.

It’s a serene and awe-inspiring moment that perfectly sets the tone for your day. You’ll have plenty of time to soak in the views, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before the city fully awakens.

Treat yourself to authentic delicacies like idli, dosa, vada, and freshly brewed filter coffee. This stop isn’t just about food—it’s about experiencing the flavors that are deeply rooted in Mumbai’s multicultural culinary heritage.

With your energy restored, we proceed to Horniman Circle, a serene oasis surrounded by grand colonial-era buildings. Walk through the lush gardens, marvel at the historic architecture, and soak in the quiet charm of this area, which feels worlds away from the bustling streets of Mumbai.

Our journey concludes at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CST), a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Admire the intricate Victorian-Gothic architecture of the station, a masterpiece that blends Indian and British design elements. Nearby, we’ll explore the BMC building and other landmarks that showcase Mumbai’s rich architectural history.
