Hence, most of my blog posts are about Mumbai city tour and local attractions. As travellers, we have always been surprised by the wonders of nature and the landscape that I see around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are times when surprises come from the most unexpected situations. When we started this blog, our sole objective was to offer reliable information about various Indian destinations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last couple of years, we have been receiving questions from readers who email us their queries. Some sensible ones, some funny and some really weird questions. We try to answer them as honestly as we could based on our opinions and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It Happened?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In August, we received an email from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Iris (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/irisuena\/\" target=\"_blank\">Iris<\/a>. She was visiting India with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Angel (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/angelsaxos\/\" target=\"_blank\">Angel<\/a> and would be in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Mumbai for a day or two (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/short-trip-in-mumbai\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mumbai for a day or two<\/a>. She mentioned that they were a bit lost about making decisions and would appreciate if we can help them. After a series of emails back and forth, we decided to meet. We decided to give her the Mumbai city tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me and Sarah, this was a completely new experience because we never did a Mumbai city tour before. However, both I and Sarah were excited and nervous on that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4049 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Gets-a-Tiny-Indian-Elephant-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Cream Centre Mumbai \" class=\"wp-image-4049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Gets-a-Tiny-Indian-Elephant.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Gets-a-Tiny-Indian-Elephant-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Gets-a-Tiny-Indian-Elephant-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Gets-a-Tiny-Indian-Elephant-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A tiny momento from us<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Met Finally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The day started off with me and Sarah heading to the hotel where Iris and Angel were staying. Luckily, for us they were staying in South Mumbai, so it became much easier for us to plan the entire Mumbai city tour in my mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we only had one day it was challenging for me to show all the local places. Mumbai is a big city and therefore you need multiple days for Mumbai city tour. To make it convenient, we split the tour into two sessions: pre-lunch and post-lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Mumbai City Tour Pre-Lunch Sesssion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we were in Colaba we started walking the alleys close to their hotel.  We showed them the iconic Taj Palace and Taj Tower and later walked towards the iconic Regal Cinema. We shared information on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"old theatres in Mumbai (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/old-theatres-in-mumbai\/\" target=\"_blank\">old theatres in Mumbai<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right opposite the street is the Majestic House that has the Sahakari Bhandar outlet. Angel and Iris instantly fell in love with the Neo-Classical architecture of the Majestic House. We talked about how various invaders and colonial empires had their impact on the architecture in India and Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4050 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Sarah-and-Me-Posing-Before-the-Majestic-House-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Iris, Sarah and Me at the Regal Cinema\" class=\"wp-image-4050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Sarah-and-Me-Posing-Before-the-Majestic-House.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Sarah-and-Me-Posing-Before-the-Majestic-House-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Sarah-and-Me-Posing-Before-the-Majestic-House-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Sarah-and-Me-Posing-Before-the-Majestic-House-585x439.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Me, Iris and Sarah Posing Before the Majestic House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As we walked further, we had a really long session of questions and answers. Next up, we came to the <a href=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/elphinstone-college-thursday-doors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Elphinstone College (opens in a new tab)\">Elphinstone College<\/a>. I&#8217;ve been a proud Elphinstonian and I was happy to share them its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarah could see me enjoy explaining the traditions, culture and different topics related to India. As we went further we showed Angel &amp; Iris the oldest 5-star hotel in the city \u2013 The Watson Hotel. We could see the amazement on their faces as they couldn\u2019t believe what they were seeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 5-star hotel of the bygone era now in shambles. It is also the oldest cast iron building in India, still functional, as many lawyers have their offices in here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4051 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Angel-with-Watson-Hotel-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Watson Hotel Mumbai\" class=\"wp-image-4051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Angel-with-Watson-Hotel.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Angel-with-Watson-Hotel-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iris-Angel-with-Watson-Hotel-585x780.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Posing Before the Watson Hotel in Mumbai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We strolled through the Kala Ghoda area exploring the Jehangir Art Gallery, David Sassoon Library, Knesset Eliyahoo Synagogue, University of Mumbai and the most popular Flora Fountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4052 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ris-Angel-with-Sarah-at-the-Flora-Fountain-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Flora Fountain Mumbai\" class=\"wp-image-4052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ris-Angel-with-Sarah-at-the-Flora-Fountain.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ris-Angel-with-Sarah-at-the-Flora-Fountain-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ris-Angel-with-Sarah-at-the-Flora-Fountain-585x780.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Iris &amp; Angel with Sarah at the Flora Fountain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The month of August is a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"monsoon (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/how-to-enjoy-a-rainy-day-in-mumbai\/\" target=\"_blank\">monsoon<\/a> month in Mumbai and India as well. Hence, the humidity factor is really high. Thankfully, it wasn&#8217;t raining, but the sun was climbing high. A couple of hours into our Mumbai city tour we decided to take a break for lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taking a Lunch Break<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For lunch, we decided to take our Spanish guests for an authentic Indian lunch treat. I and Sarah mutually decided to take them to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Cream Centre (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/veg-restaurants-in-mumbai-cream-centre\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cream Centre<\/a>. We wanted to offer them a good Punjabi food with the right amount of spice. The funny thing is I used to work here during my college days. It felt nostalgic to me to step into the restaurant after 16 long years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4053 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lunch-at-Cream-Centre-Chowpatty-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Cream Centre Chowpatty Mumbai\" class=\"wp-image-4053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lunch-at-Cream-Centre-Chowpatty.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lunch-at-Cream-Centre-Chowpatty-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lunch-at-Cream-Centre-Chowpatty-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lunch-at-Cream-Centre-Chowpatty-585x439.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Lunch Time at Cream Centre, Chowpatty &#8211; Mumbai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We ordered Chana Bhatura, Paneer Makhanwala and some rotis and naans. However, we skipped the regular brownie and ice cream dessert. Instead we went to the &#8216;<em>New<\/em> <em>Kulfi<\/em> <em>Centre<\/em>&#8216; that sells kulfi for almost six decades. Kulfi is a traditional Indian ice cream made from pure milk cream and sugar and there are no artificial flavors or preservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4054 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-cream-centre-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Cream Centre Mumbai\" class=\"wp-image-4054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-cream-centre-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-cream-centre-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-cream-centre-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-cream-centre-2-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Having a Good Time at Cream Centre &#8211; Mumbai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mumbai City Tour Post Lunch Session<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Iris and Angel were in Mumbai for a day before they head to another city. Hence, they had plans to do reservations for their next destination. We decided to help them with the reservation part instead of going for the Mumbai city tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we next headed to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as the Victoria Terminus. It\u2019s one of the biggest stations in India and Mumbai. The reservation process was swift and we were ready to head to out next spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4055 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-sarah-cst-mumbai-2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"CST Mumbai\" class=\"wp-image-4055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-sarah-cst-mumbai-2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-sarah-cst-mumbai-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-sarah-cst-mumbai-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-sarah-cst-mumbai-2-585x439.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Some shots at the CST Mumbai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4056 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-cst-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"CST Mumbai\" class=\"wp-image-4056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-cst.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-cst-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-cst-585x780.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Iris &amp; Angel at the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus Mumbai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4057 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-at-cst-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"CST Mumbai\" class=\"wp-image-4057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-at-cst-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-at-cst-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-at-cst-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-at-cst-2-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Posing at the Central Railway Entrance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In our post lunch Mumbai city tour we explored the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"St. Thomas Cathedral (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/saint-thomas-cathedral-mumbai\/\" target=\"_blank\">St. Thomas Cathedral<\/a>, The Asiatic Library (Town Hall), and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Mumbai Samachar (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/mumbai-samachar-thursday-doors\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Mumbai Samachar<\/a> Building.

We sip some coffee and had casual conversations on our personal lives and work and so on. It was a unique experience for both Sarah and me. For a shy people like us, this was a moment to interact with the real people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4062 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-starbucks-mumbai-2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Starbucks Mumbai\" class=\"wp-image-4062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-starbucks-mumbai-2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-starbucks-mumbai-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-starbucks-mumbai-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-starbucks-mumbai-2-585x439.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Enjoying Coffee at Starbucks Mumbai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, we took a cab to Marine Drive for a great sunset experience. There was no way we would have let them go without experiencing the Mumbai sunset experience. We sat there for an hour or more sharing information on our traditions, food, cultures, and viewpoints. I shared with them information that will help them to cut down their cost the next time they visit India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4064 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-marine-drive-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Marine Drive Mumbai\" class=\"wp-image-4064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-marine-drive-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-marine-drive-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-marine-drive-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iris-angel-at-marine-drive-2-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><br>Enjoying the Sunset at Marine Drive Mumbai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Became Friends Forever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Mumbai city tour had come to an end. It was time to bid them goodbye and let them continue on their journey across India. We exchanged our information before we departed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me and Sarah, this was a unique and a memorable experience interacting with people from a different country at a personal level. We became friends forever and are connected online. We hope that they visit India again and come down to Mumbai. This would allow us another opportunity to meet again and show them a different part of the city that they missed then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4065 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-marine-drive-2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Angel Iris Marine Drive\" class=\"wp-image-4065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-marine-drive-2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-marine-drive-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-marine-drive-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/angel-iris-marine-drive-2-585x439.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A Selfie at Marine Drive \u2013 Mumbai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being born and brought up in Mumbai it is the best city for me in the world.
