Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Town Hall (Asiatic Society Library), Town Hall, Opposite Horniman Circle Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Fort, Mumbai, Mumbai 400001 India
Our adventure begins in the heart of Mumbai, outside the legendary Bombay Castle (behind Asiatic Society), where the story of the erstwhile Bombay Fort begins. Step back in time and learn about the city’s humble beginnings and how it has transformed into the vibrant city it is today and the role the precinct had to play in the same.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: The Asiatic Society, Mumbai, Town Hall, WRJP+P8M, Shahid Bhagat Singh Rd, Fort, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400023, India
a place filled with fascinating stories from the mid-1800s. We’ll discover how gas lights were first exhibited here and hear amusing anecdotes, including a funny tale about Jinnah, the father of Pakistan. This is the same place where Gandhi’s ashes were kept for the people to come to pay their respects. We'll also share an intriguing secret—the Asiatic Society houses a hidden treasure, a 14th-century copy of Dante's Divine Comedy. Although not accessible to the public, this precious artefact was so valuable that Mussolini once offered a staggering one million pounds for it. We simply couldn't part with such a priceless piece of history.

We had a great experience with No Footprint's heritage tour. Pooja - who was a great guide - took us on a great survey tour of colonial historical buildings, which combined our interest in architecture, history and culture. No Footprints also kindly matched our schedule so we got to do our tour at a time best for us. We don't have that many days in the city so it was a great way to take some of it in!Klyadventure20

Rabab Rupawala gave us a fantastic tour of the main landmarks of Mumbai such as the Gateway of India and Victoria Station. She was informative, a lot of fun and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
