They were all high profile and located in and around Colaba.

A Trip To Banganga™
Banganga is a centuries-old, ancient water reservoir tucked away in Walkeshwar, Mumbai. A walk through the Banganga settlements is an adventure in itself as the maze of cobbled lanes and narrow paths lead, almost magically, to a set of giant steps and a serene green water tank. An early morning visit to Banganga, Mumbai's very own Varanasi, is probably the best time when one can experience the spiritual energy at its best. Local inhabitants, pundits and visitors can be seen offering prayers amidst the sound of chimes at surrounding temples.
Duration: Approximately 2.5 hours
Price: Rs. 2,250 per person (Walking Tour with Local Snacks)
Recommended Time: Mornings / Evenings

A Trip To Worli Koliwada™
Worli Koliwada is one of the earliest fishing villages in Mumbai. The land is also one of the original seven islands of Mumbai where the native fishermen community or Kolis came to be more than 800 years ago. The Worli Koliwada is a maze of narrow lanes dotted with old but picturesquely tucked small houses, many flaunting Portuguese architecture and abundant fish markets. The bylanes take you through a culture walk showcasing the lives and lifestyles of the native Kolis and more recent settlers. You will see a small chapel next to a Hindu temple and they co-exist peacefully.
Duration: Approximately 1.5 hours
Price: Rs. 2,500 per person
Recommended Time: Mornings

A Trip To Elephanta™
A trip to Mumbai is incomplete without a visit to the most interesting Elephanta Island, located 10 kms from mainland Mumbai. The ferry ride from Gateway of India, the icon of Indo-saracenic style of architecture, to the island is an adventure in itself. The island harbours the world-famous Elephanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The caves have sculptures of Lord Shiva cut from solid rock. What many people don't know is that the island is home to three villages at its base with a rich cultural past. Archaeological evidence suggest human settlement as old as 2nd century BC!
