About this tour

Mumbai is a different city before sunrise. The traffic hasn't started, the markets are at their busiest and the work that feeds twenty million people happens in the dark. This tour takes you through it with a guide who has done this walk hundreds of times.

It's the tour for photographers, early risers and anyone who wants to see the city working rather than performing. Join the group on foot and by local transport, or go private with an air-conditioned car and hotel pickup.
