Mumbai Stories on the Move
A Guided Drive Through the City’s Icons – with Stops to Soak It All In
The Journey
Mumbai is more than a skyline—it’s a storybook. On this curated bus ride through the city’s World Heritage precinct and beyond, No Footprints invites you to sit back, tune in, and time-travel through centuries of architecture, ambition, and anecdotes.
With expert storytellers on board, we don’t just pass by landmarks—we peel back their layers. And yes, we hop off to stand in the shadow of icons, feel the stone, hear the echoes, and take it all in.
This is Mumbai in motion. And you’re riding shotgun.
Route Highlights (Chronologically)
Here’s what you’ll see, hear, and feel as we journey through the city:
Start: National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA)
Our meeting point is a quiet, culturally rich corner of Fort. As we roll out, we dive straight into Mumbai’s art and colonial past.
Kala Ghoda Art District
Heritage meets creativity in this cultural hotspot. Our guides bring alive tales of merchants, artists, and architects who gave this neighbourhood its distinct Indo-European charm.
Flora Fountain
Once the city’s beating heart, this 1864 fountain tells tales of Victorian engineering and Bombay’s emergence as the ‘Urbs Prima in Indis’.
Asiatic Society of Mumbai
A Greco-Roman masterpiece and a seat of knowledge since 1804. Learn about its priceless collections, colonial origins, and how it became one of Mumbai’s most iconic steps.
Bombay High Court
With its soaring arches and intricate carvings, this Gothic marvel is where law meets legend. Stop for a closer look—and a quick story about cricket, curses, and colonial judges.
Mumbai University & Rajabai Clock Tower
Big Ben’s cousin with a stained-glass soul. As we drive past, we explore the fascinating story of the Rajabai Tower’s Parsi patron and the university’s European design.
Oval Maidan – Gothic vs. Art Deco
On one side: intricate Victorian excess. On the other: sleek Art Deco minimalism. A rare urban standoff—and a UNESCO-recognized moment of magic.
Marine Drive – Queen’s Necklace
The ride opens up here. Deco buildings to your left, the Arabian Sea to your right. It’s not just scenic—it’s cinematic. Let the sea breeze carry the stories.
Coastal Road Drive (New Addition)
A bold new chapter in Mumbai’s infrastructure saga. Learn about the project’s engineering feats, environmental controversies, and its promises for the future.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT)
UNESCO World Heritage Site and a visual spectacle. Step down to marvel at its turrets, stained glass, and the seamless blend of Victorian Gothic with Indian detail.
Hop Off: Gateway of India & Taj Mahal Palace Hotel
The ceremonial entry point to the city—and a fitting place to wrap up. From British arrivals to modern protests, this is where Mumbai has welcomed and resisted change.
