Church Gate and The Heritage Mile Walk

Wine and cheese are two words most synonymous with the town of Bordeaux or the plains of Burgundy.
But believe it or not, Mumbai has its own version of the world famous Brie and Camembert cheeses. Indigenous cheese makers have successfully managed to combine local flavours to produce artisanal varieties of cheese. And what better companion to cheese than a beautiful glass of a crip white or a full - bodied red.
Curious? To find out more, sign up with us for the perfect wine and cheese tasting experience.

The Dabbawalla Experience.

The ‘Dabbawallas’ of Mumbai are stuff of legend. It started about 125 years ago when a Parsee banker wanted to have home cooked food regularly in office. He gave this responsibility to the first ever Dabbawala. Today there are over 5000 dabbawalas who deliver approximately 200,000 dabbas (food tiffins) a day. They are recognized as delivering 6 sigma level of accuracy in their dabba delivery - that means only 1 mistake in 6 million chances. They deliver their dabbas using local train network, bicycles and hand - carts. They have rubbed shoulders with Prince Charles and Richard Branson. Raconteur offers you a chance to see these local heroes in action and then crack their ‘code’ to deliver the dabba with the help of your friendly Mumbai Raconteur.

Dhobhi Ghat Experience

Known as the worlds’ largest outdoor laundry, Dhobi Ghat is where Mumbai's traditional dhobhis (washermen) wash dirty laundry and return it neatly pressed - all for a very small fee. Dhobhi Ghat came into existence in 1890. Here 731 dhobhis and their families work together to keep their ancestral heritage alive. It is said that the dhobhis wash 1500 articles of clothes everyday and iron 750 clothes a day. Dhobhi Ghat is unique only to Mumbai. Our personalized tours inside the dhobhi Ghat aim to give people a better understanding of dhobhis, their work and their lives.

The Bollywood Experience

We are often asked what comes to mind when we think of Bollywood and we say – a hero who puts Batman and Superman, to shame, a heroine who behaves like she is the modern day Cleopatra, dancing around trees, action, comedy, romance and a whole lot of drama. And what gives you the perfectly flavoured Bollywood Masala movie. Welcome to Mumbai – the hub of Indian cinema and home to the largest film industry in the world. This tour will let you experience a movie shoot first –hand, replete with the glamorous stars, the starry eyed fans, the larger than life sets and the catty paparazzi.
