The glorious open air laundry where at one time all of Mumbai's clothes were washed.
Dabbawalas (Shut on weekends) or the 6 sigma workers of Mumbai send over 5, 00, 000 boxes of lunch daily to their rightful owners with extreme precision. Studied by consultants and business schools for the secrets of their proclaimed near-flawless efficiency, the dabbawalas have been feted by British royals (Prince Charles) and titans of industry (Richard Branson) alike. Even FedEx, which supposedly knows something about logistics, has paid them a visit.
Tour the local spice market with us and you can not only buy the spices, but can also get them dry roasted and ground into the masala mix of your choice before your own eyes.
An alternative to the volunteering activity is the amazing and sometimes crazy but completely unmissable experience of travelling in the Mumbai Local! You also learn about the stunning architecture of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus from where the first train operated in India departed.

We had an unforgettable full day trip in Mumbai through our guides Nishtha. The day was perfectly organized and very varied. The city tour was extremely informative and interesting. Another highlight was the rousing Bollywood dance performance, which introduced us to the culture and joie de vivre of India in an impressive way. The shared lunch was also very well chosen and completed the day perfectly. We were also particularly fascinated by the visit to the spice market, where we got an insight into spice production. However, the price of 115€ was also not exactly insignificant. Our guides Nishtha spoke excellent German and led with a lot of knowledge, commitment and charm through the day. Her explanations were lively and always exciting. You could tell that she does her job with great passion. We can fully recommend this tour and especially the guides Nishtha. Thank you for this wonderful day!

Mitali took my family group on a wonderful ‘5 senses’ tour of Mumbai. She was extremely friendly, and knowledgeable about so many aspects of history, religion and culture. and made the whole experience unforgettable. We all loved the laundry, spice market and Bollywood dancing amongst so much else including a fun train ride. Thank you Mitali! You gave us a great start to our Indian holiday. Karen and family. X

Batul is an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed the “Five Senses” one-day tour enormously. As well as a whistle-stop history of Mumbai, we loved the Bollywood dancing class and an excellent taste of Indian treats.

An interesting way of viewing key elements of this part of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed each step of the journey, though the train ride was probably the least part of the whole. Be prepared for some fun, made better if you are up for participating and getting stuck in. I cannot recommend Nishtha enough. Great knowledge, enthusiasm, humour and energy. Get har to lead the tour if you can. We had a private tour for just the two of us and it was a blast. Drink a lot of water and take a hat. Soak up the city.
