Listed next on your trip is the exclusive Prince of Wales Museum, (closed on Monday). Built between 1904 and 1914, this museum was used as a hospital during the First World War. The museum stores an invaluable collection of one of the best art found in India. The exquisite display of antiques, miniature paintings, jade, china and many other artefacts is spellbinding.

Then, you will catch a glimpse of the other famous buildings of Mumbai as we drive you past the University of Bombay, High Court of Bombay and Crawford market. Situated at the crest of the Malabar Hills is the Hanging gardens. Here you can enjoy the much wanted greenery amidst all the concrete and cement structures. A drive on the Malabar hill will give you an impression about the posh residential area of the city of Mumbai. You will also be taken to visit the esteemed Gandhi Memorial Museum (Mani Bhavan) and the religious Jain temple.

Recognized as the world's largest outdoor laundry, the Dhobi ghat is exclusive to the city of Mumbai. Watch the washer men or the 'dhobis' provide an efficient service, gathering dirty laundry, cleaning it and returning it perfectly ironed, and all this at an exceptionally small price. They remove persistent stains by soaking clothes in a boiling vat of caustic soda. They dry the clothes on long bright coloured lines and use heavy woodburning irons for neatly pressing the clothes. The spectacular site this Dhobi ghat provides is a photographer's delight, though the locals here find it bewildering that their daily work arouses such interest among visitors.

    Great way to see Mumbai until in the afternoon the guide started putting pressure on to stop and shop.
    Thought we were going to a mall for washroom and bite to eat but was an expensive shop.

    I was very happy with the guide and driver, and they did their best. But the reality is that there is not an awful lot to see in Mumbai - it is after all a commercial centre and not a tourist location. Nevertheless, it was my first time to India and so everything was interesting. I'd certainly recommend the tour to a first-timer in Mumbai.

    Overall a good tour. Very comprehensive. My only complaint is that a lot of it is from the car, meaning you don't get to walk much. The guide and driver were great though.
