Having spent some time growing up in Bombay in the mid-80s, I spent countless hours in Colaba and Fort. Indeed, whenever I do go back to Bombay, I continue to inevitably spend some time in these two almost adjacent neighbourhoods. Rather embarrassingly, my knowledge of their history was limited. A handicap that after a couple of hours on the tour, conducted by the knowledgeable and enthusiastic (I'm not sure how he stayed so perky during the course of the tour on a humid evening!), would be erased.
Of the four guides I have toured with on various excursions offered by Khaki, I enjoyed the best rapport with Navin, which is no adverse reflection on the other guides They were all engaging in their own ways.
The tour is heavy on history, which was really what I was after. There are no stops for food and culinary experiences. Maybe that's something Khaki could offer in Colaba in the near future.
Bombay's weather being what it is, I would recommend requesting the tour on a winter evening, when being out in Bombay feels splendid. The breezes are cooler and the humidity is minimal.

Our group of six recently experienced Khaki Tours' night walk of Colaba and Fort, and it was fantastic! The 4-hour tour covered iconic landmarks like the Gateway of India, CSMT Station, and the Queen’s Necklace. Our guide, Parvez, was knowledgeable and engaging, making the history come alive. The night views were stunning, especially at old building of Mumbai University and the Bombay High Court
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Mumbai’s charm after dark!

The private tour with Parvez was fantastic. He was enthusiastic and informative, sharing interesting stories as we toured various parts of the city. He even secured an umbrella for us, as we were unprepared for our "Mumbai in the rains" tour, haha. Great experience! Highly recommend.

It was wonderful to experience the Fort Walk. I didn’t even realise how 2.5hrs passed. It was engrossing and engaging. I didn’t know many things about the city I grew up in. Priya is an excellent tour guide. And she kept all of us interested with all the trivia and anecdotes she was sharing with us. Would definitely do another walk with Khaki in the near future.
