Your Mumbai Walking Tour starts at 8:00 am. The tour will take you to the Gateway of India, one of the famous destinations of Mumbai. It was also the place where the last of the British troops departed. With this, the British rule came to an end in 1947.
Post exploring this place, we move towards the Regal Theatre which is based on a walking distance of around 5 mins. It was inaugurated in 1933 and was designed by Charles Stevens. It was the only Art Deco cinema designed by Karl Schara.

Opposite to the Museum is Elphistone College, a Gothic-Victorian-style university. Then on the Mahatma Gandhi Road, you will see another historic building named David Sassoon Library. It was named after the Jewish businessman, David Sassoon, who funded the structure. Adjacent to the library awaits Army and Navy Building. It was used as a British army navy store.
