The Gateway of India is an arch monument built during the 20th century in Mumbai, India. The monument was erected to commemorate the landing of King-Emperor George V and Queen-Empress Mary at Apollo Bunder on their visit to India in 1911. Built in Indo-Saracenic style, the foundation stone for the Gateway of India was laid on 31 March 1911. The structure is an arch made of basalt, 26 metres (85 feet) high. The final design of George Wittet was sanctioned in 1914 and the construction of the monument was completed in 1924.

Elephanta caves and city family tour

5.00We got a great car and walking tour of the must see spots in Mumbai. Our guides showed us several things not in guide books. They knew about the architecture and history of well known landmarks as well as some obscure gems. Later in the day we visited elephanta caves. Manoj was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable regarding the history of the caves. We learned about each sculpture, things we would not have picked up on without someone to show us. In addition, he knew all the cool spots to catch a break from the heat. We really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend him as a guide!

5.00Had a great experience with both tourist guides! Rajat at the Elephanta Caves was excellent — very knowledgeable about the history and also helped take amazing photos throughout the tour. Shruti during the city tour was also wonderful, with great knowledge and interesting information about the city. Both tours were very well organized and made the journey enjoyable even in a short time. Highly recommended!

5.00Our guide was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, caring, and attentive throughout the whole trip. She often asked if everything was okay and made sure we felt comfortable and well looked after, which we really appreciated, especially while travelling in Nepal. She spoke about the places we visited with real interest and passion, so the experience felt much more meaningful. We felt safe, welcomed, and genuinely taken care of. A fantastic guide and a very lovely person we highly recommend her!
