Best Tours & activities in Mumbai (2026)

A guided tour is one of the best ways to understand Mumbai, a city whose scale can feel overwhelming at first. Heritage walks are the obvious starting point: Khaki Tours runs a wide range of group and private walks led by volunteer Ambassadors of Mumbai, from the Fort and Banganga to ghost walks and food trails, and Bombay Heritage Walks has organised architect-led walks of the city's heritage precincts since 1999.

To see how the city works, Reality Tours and Travel, a social enterprise that puts most of its profits into community projects, runs Dharavi tours, a street food tour, a bicycle tour and a local transport and dabbawalla tour. Inside Mumbai Tours, based in Dharavi itself, offers small-group and private walks through the neighbourhood. Mumbai Magic, established in 2006, arranges private city tours and custom trips across Maharashtra and India. Book ahead in the cooler months, confirm meeting points and durations, wear comfortable shoes and follow your guide's advice on photography, especially in residential areas.
