Mumbai Bicycle Tour
Description
See a different side of the city on our Mumbai Bicycle Tour as you cycle through its early morning calm. Pass iconic landmarks, hidden corners, and witness Mumbai before the crowds arrive. Led by a responsible travel company, this tour directly supports local development initiatives. People sleeping along the pathways, devotees offering their morning puja (prayer), and early risers heading out for a jog before the day’s heat settles in. While the rest of the city is only just beginning to wake up, we take advantage of the empty streets and cool air to explore South Mumbai by cycle. As we wind our way through the back lanes, we’ll visit must-see Mumbai sights like the Gateway of India and CST Station as well as some hidden gems like Sassoon Dock and Bombay Panjrapole (cow sanctuary). At the end of the tour, we’ll stop for a well-deserved South Indian breakfast of dosa, idli, upma, and much more.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Drawing on Hindu and Islamic architectural styles, the Gateway of India sits on the waterfront of southern Mumbai, and since 1924 was the first thing visitors to the city would see when arriving by boat.
Formerly known as Victoria Terminus, CST is one of the most beautiful railway stations in India.
One of the city’s largest wholesale fruit, vegetable, and meat market— and the first building in India to get electricity!
Visit a local cow shelter where you have the chance to stock up on good karma by feeding the resident cows.
This is the historical Hindu temple that Mumbai was named after! We’ll take a break from our bikes and have a look inside.
Cycle 3km along the Arabian Sea on the Marine Drive promenade. Typically packed with friends and couples in the evenings, Marine Drive is empty in the morning and just waiting to be cycled!
We experience the chaos of this vibrant market area, including the fishermen unloading fish and women and children cleaning the shrimp

My experience with Reality Tours was outstanding from start to finish. I was incredibly impressed by the company’s integrity; despite being the only person booked for my time slot, they honored the booking and conducted the tour just for me. While many companies might cancel if they don't meet a 'minimum guest' requirement, Reality Tours demonstrated a genuine commitment to the guest experience. My guide, Chetan, was wonderful. He was deeply knowledgeable, providing fascinating context and history, while also being remarkably considerate and attentive throughout the day. He made the entire experience feel personal and engaging. It’s rare to find a company that prioritize people and quality over simple margins. I’m already looking forward to booking future tours with them. If you’re looking for an authentic and professional experience in Mumbai, I highly recommend Reality Tours—and specifically asking for Chetan!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We are truly happy to hear that you had such an outstanding experience with us. It means a lot that you noticed our commitment to our guests. We always aim to give the best experience, no matter the group size. We are especially glad you enjoyed your time with Chetan. He will be delighted to hear your kind words about his knowledge and care. Thank you for your recommendation, and we can’t wait to welcome you back on another tour soon! 😊
Javed was great! I hadn't ridden a bike in a decade and he really looked out for me. I loved the cows so much. And the dosa was delicious!
