‘Mayanagri’ – the city of dreams. The home of Bollywood. The fashion capital of India. A melting pot of cultures. A perfect blend of old-world charm and modernism. All these and more, there is no place like Mumbai in India. If you are planning a group sightseeing trip in Mumbai, there are so many exciting things to see and do.
However, most attractions in Mumbai are located within long distances from each other. It could be a tedious task to manage your group in the long queues and heavy crowds on the local trains or public buses. Hiring private taxis is not only an expensive option; it would also make it difficult to coordinate the group. How about touring Mumbai in a luxury bus?
A luxury bus is equipped with super comfortable and stylish amenities to offer you a first-class travel experience. You can enjoy a relaxed and laid-back journey in between visiting the attractions.
Let’s take you through the five most popular destinations in Mumbai for luxury bus trips:
1. Gateway of India
The iconic 20th-century monument is the top tourist attraction in Mumbai. Located on the waterfront at the Apollo Bunder area in South Mumbai, it gives a magnificent glimpse of the Arabian Sea.
The monument also serves as a harbour for ferry services to the Elephanta Caves, Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC), Mandwa, Alibaug and other cruises. Do not forget to click photos of the world-famous Taj Mahal Palace Hotel which is situated just opposite the Gateway of India!
2. Marine Drive
One of the most beautiful locations in Mumbai, Marine Drive is a C-shaped 3.6 km-long promenade. Hence, it is also known as the ‘Queen’s Necklace’. It connects Malabar Hill with Nariman Point, two of the poshest residential and commercial areas in the city.
You can take a walk around the boulevard or sit there, watching the majestic sea and listening to the sound of its waves. Early morning, evening and nighttime are the best time to visit for a stunning view of sunrise, sunset or the Mumbai skyline.
3. Film City
How can you visit Mumbai and not experience the behind-the-scenes of Bollywood life? The Bollywood tour at the Film City will allow you to visit the film sets where all the real action happens.
If you get lucky, you will be even able to see the live film shoots and click selfies with film stars!
You can also enjoy farm tours to experience rural life at these places.
4. Essel World and Water Kingdom
This is one of the oldest amusement parks in India but it still attracts local and outstation tourists. There are thrilling rides and activities for every age group at Essel World. There is also a bowling alley, discotheque and skating rink.
The Water Kingdom has amazing rides, slides and even a wave pool for splish-and-splash fun!
5. Beaches
Your group trip to Mumbai is incomplete without a visit to the bustling beaches. Juhu, Aksa, Madh Island, Versova, and Manori are the most-frequented beaches in the city. Most of these beaches have food courts and stalls where you can relish Mumbai street food.
Early morning and evening are the best time to visit these beaches as the daytime can get hot and humid.
