Experience Details

Walk through the pages of Bombay’s imperial history in this immersive, story-led experience titled, "Imperial Bombay".


We begin at the Gateway of India, tracing the city’s origins as a British stronghold. Wander through the lanes of Colaba Causeway and into Fort, where you’ll encounter landmarks like the Prince of Wales Museum, Dalal Street, and the majestic St. Thomas Cathedral.

At Flora Fountain, revolutionary voices rise from the past, setting the stage for our walk past the Bombay High Court and University of Mumbai, towering testaments to colonial ambition and intellectual awakening.

Crossing the Oval Maidan, we literally move through time — from Gothic to Art Deco — before catching a break at Marine Drive, where modern Mumbai breathes.


Finally, hop into a local cab for the last ride to the iconic CST Station, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and wrap up the tour with two local legends: Vada Pav and Pav Bhaji — because no story of Bombay is complete without its flavours.

What You’ll Experience

1

Colaba Causeway

We begin at the Gateway of India, where the Raj once arrived in all its ceremony — and where, decades later, it departed. From this symbolic arch, we trace the city's evolution through the bustling Colaba Causeway, alive with street vendors and historic facades.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
2

Fort

We continue our tour to the Fort area — Bombay’s original business district. Here, we pass by the Prince of Wales Museum, Dalal Street, and the stately St. Thomas Cathedral — each building a chapter in the story of power, trade, and faith. At Flora Fountain, whispers of dissent echo — as we uncover how this colonial administrative hub became a cradle of resistance.
45 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
3

High Court Principal Bench Bombay

The Bombay High Court and University of Mumbai rise ahead — not just structures, but statements of colonial intent and the city’s growing intellectual awakening.
15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
4

Oval Maidan

As we cross the Oval Maidan, the city’s timeline unfolds visually: on one side, Gothic spires; on the other, the clean lines of Art Deco — a rare dialogue of design, speaking to Bombay’s layered identity.
15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
5

Marine Drive

We pause at Marine Drive, where the sea breeze carries stories old and new — a moment to reflect on what has changed and what endures.
10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
6

CST Railway Station

Finally, a classic black-and-yellow taxi whisks us to CST Station, a living cathedral of steel, stone, and steam — and a UNESCO World Heritage site that pulses with daily life. We end the tour the way all good Bombay stories should — with two iconic street foods: Vada Pav and Pav Bhaji. Because in this city, the flavours are part of the story.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
