Description

We’ll begin our tour at the railway station, where I’ll take you across the foot overbridge to get a bird’s-eye view of the bustling slums. From up here, you’ll see a patchwork of tin roofs and the everyday rhythm of life, full of energy, resilience, and the unshakable spirit that defines Mumbai.

From there, we’ll stroll down Hill Road, one of Bandra’s liveliest stretches. The street is alive with colorful stalls selling clothes, bags, and accessories, and the irresistible aroma of Mumbai's street foods

Next, we’ll visit Ranwar Village, one of Mumbai's oldest and hidden heritage pockets. Here, the narrow lanes are lined with centuries-old houses and vintage charm with street art.

Next, we visit Mount Mary Basilica, a hilltop church. Built in 1904, its Gothic design and peaceful ambiance draw visitors from all walks of life.

Our path then leads to Bandra Fort, where the Arabian Sea crashes against centuries-old stone walls. From this vantage point, you’ll see the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, one of Mumbai’s most striking views.

We’ll end at Bandra Bandstand, walking along the breezy ocean promenade. Along the way, we’ll pass Bollywood stars' homes.

Includes

  • St. Andrew's Church
  • Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount
  • Bandra Fort
  • Bandra Bandstand

Buena caminata

Sanjay fue un excelente guia. Me llevo en tren hasta Bandra, algo que habria sido muy dificil para un viajero no experimentado en Mumbai. Luego me mostro todos los remanentes de las estructuras portuguesas. Tambien me enseño lugares hechos famosis por la super estrella de cine Raj Kapoor. Al final me llevo a ver la casa del actor mas rico de Bollywood y me gestiono un buen lugar para obtener un uber de regreso. Estuvo muy bien. Fue un guia muy conocedor y entretenido. Vale la pena tomar un tour con el.

A Journey Back to My Childhood Town, with a Host Like No Other

This was more than just a tour,,, it was a beautiful journey back to Bandra, my childhood town, filled with memories, nostalgia, and unforgettable moments. What made the experience truly special was our wonderful host, Sanjay. His warmth, hospitality, local knowledge made the entire experience feel personal and welcoming. Sanjay showed us Bandra with such enthusiasm that familiar places felt new again.

Discovering another side of Mumbai

We had a great time visiting Bandra, the portuguese influence and the village. It was very interesting to get to know the story behind and the link with bollywood.

Outstanding Bandra Walk with Sanjay

We had a fantastic time on the “Explore Bandra: Bollywood to Hidden Villages, Heritage Homes & Streets” walking tour with Sanjay. He was friendly, well-organised, and made us feel welcome from the very start. Sanjay brought Bandra to life with his deep knowledge of local history, Bollywood stories, and everyday life in the neighbourhood, sharing fascinating details we would never have discovered on our own. He guided us through hidden villages, charming heritage homes, and colourful streets at a comfortable pace, always checking in on us and answering every question with patience and enthusiasm. Sanjay’s effort, passion, and professionalism were truly outstanding. We would highly recommend this tour – and especially Sanjay – to anyone wanting to experience the real Bandra beyond the usual tourist spots.

Sanjay is the best

this is my second tour with Sanjay! This time he took us see antique and beautiful portuguese houses, churches, modern buildings, old studios. All while telling all sorts of interesting facts about Bandra, a neighborhood with so many contrasts
