Mumbai City Highlights: Ultimate Guided Tour

Welcome to the city that never sleeps! Pulsating, Alive, On the Move, Vibrant, and Fun -- this is Mumbai or as it is still frequently referred to -- Bombay. The most modern city in India, it captures  the spirit of the changing pace set by liberalization and modernization. Once a cluster of seven islands, Mumbai was presented to King Charles II in 1661 as part of the dowry when he married Princess Catherine de Braganza of Portugal. Over the years, as colonialism gave way to independence, Mumbai has transformed itself into an entity with thriving markets, business houses and many different communities reflecting a cosmopolitan and trendy atmosphere rarely seen elsewhere. On the surface, it represents the ever-changing face of today's India -- the old coupled with the dynamic new, and yet at its very core, the heart of the city is steeped in Indian customs and values.
