This was an outstanding way of exploring the heritage of Mumbai. Our guide Pankaj was brilliant and brought alive the 200 years of colonial period. We saw great buildings in Gothic and Art Deco style. Nowhere else have I seen such a variety in architecture styles. An excellent way of spending 3 hours in Mumbai.

Great guide and walking tour

Pankaj happily and generously answered our questions about Mumbai’s history, culture, politics and life in Mumbai, which added to our visit enormously . Thank you so much -a great tour
