We’re sure you have heard of Heritage Walks around the Gothic precinct of South Mumbai several times. But how about experiencing the beauty of the same vintage structures as you explore the city on a cycle? Sounds like a lot more fun, right? At No Footprints we pay homage to the heritage structures that dot the skyline of the old British Mumbai.
Starting as early as 6:30 A.M, we cover all the tourist landmarks peddling away on our two wheels! From the Gateway of India- the victory arch that was built to welcome the British Queen to the city, to the famous domed Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, which has hosted the likes of Barack Obama, the Beatles and a host of other celebrities in its century old lifetime to seeing the sunrise at the iconic Marine Drive promenade; there is so much that happens on this tour, which you wouldn't want to miss.
We end this tour at a trendy young cafe, for a hearty breakfast.
