Overview
Take a trip to Mumbai on your India Vacation
Previously known as Bombay, this bustling metropolis is situated on the country’s west coast and is comprised of several districts.
Mumbai is the economic, commercial, entertainment, and fashion capital of India. Still acting as India’s primary port city, Mumbai continues to prosper in industries such as textile, engineering, diamond polishing, healthcare and information technology.
Mumbai is home to the world’s largest film production industry. With Bollywood producing 150-200 films a year, many of the industry’s wealthiest reside in palatial houses found in Bandra, one of Mumbai’s richest areas to be experienced on Indian travel.
Colonial architecture can be seen in Mumbai’s south. This beautifully planned area features some of Mumbai’s best-known monuments including the Gateway of India, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Victoria Terminus) building, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Vastu Sanghralaya (formerly, the Prince Of Wales museum). As well, situated in the area, are the Mumbai University buildings, High Court, and the famous Taj Mahal hotel.
Various parks and gardens can be found within Mumbai’s concrete jungle, as well as beaches on trips to India. Mumbai’s bustling markets are a must-see and can offer an interesting insight into the daily life of some of the locals.
A cosmopolitan city now quickly filling the sky with developing skyscrapers, Mumbai is ever-growing, attracting opportunity-driven Indians from all over the country. A melting pot of India’s various cultures, Mumbai offers a diverse lifestyle with a variety of food, entertainment, and nightlife.

What I love most about visiting India is how alive everything feels. The colours, the food, the people. Every place has its own vibe and story. One moment you’re in a quiet temple, the next you’re in a bustling street market. It’s chaotic in the best way
My favourite drinks are aam panna, a traditional Indian summer drink made from raw mangoes, known for its refreshing taste and cooling properties, and mango lassi, the iconic Indian yogurt drink

The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'NeillWe entrusted Goway with every detail of our trip from start to finish and they came through for us superbly! Every single detail was smooth sailing. It was a joy to plan our travels with Goway!! We had an amazing trip of a lifetime!
E&DI recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals.
We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc.
We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets.
I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed.

Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David KleinWe had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy
