See Old India in the Heart of Mumbai - This is a must do tour while in Mumbai. It gives you a chance to see what old India life is like. The villagers were extremely friendly. We saw a parade of women in beautiful cloths. We saw fishermen emptying nets of fish and repairing them. We saw the markets, homes and religous shrines. The views of Mumbai from Worli are breathtaking.

Do this tour and do it with Aman Wallia. He’s a national treasure. A great guide, a better human being. WOW, so good! ❤️❤️ - We did the Worli Village Tour with Aman Wallia and so glad we did. It’s not your typical sightseeing experience. You get to dive deeper into the rich history of Mumbai. Of how it started, of its original people, of its origins, and its heartbeat. Sure it’s great to see the art deco of South Mumbai, and it’s awesome to see the Gateway of India, but this is special. This is something that not the average tourist gets to experience. Why you ask, well, a lot of it is because Aman is not your average guide. He is a teacher and you’ll love being his student. You’ll finish this you knowing more about Mumbai than people that have lived here their entire lives. You’ll learn about the Orginal Goddess of Worli, about the Koli’s, about a special fort, you’ll get to see a super secret gym that no one’s knows about, you’ll get rooftop access and magnificent views of the ocean, the Sea Link, you’ll see kids playing cricket and might even get to join for a few at bats and get to bowl a few overs, you’ll see colorful homes, travel the alley’s less travelled, see fishermen bringing their catch home, you’ll stroll through the Worli marketplace, have chai in the streets, ask the Goddess for guidance and so much more. Do this tour and grow as a human, as a person. You’ll learn to appreciate Mumbai and to appreciate life.
