🤔 Frequently Asked Questions – CT Travels Mumbai Darshan Edition

1. What is Mumbai Darshan anyway?

Great question, curious traveler! Mumbai Darshan is basically a crash course in everything awesome about the city – think of it as Mumbai 101. From historic landmarks to seafront wonders, spiritual stops, Bollywood spots, and hidden gems – we pack it all into one epic day-long adventure. If it's iconic, you'll see it!

2. How long is this magical mystery tour?
It’s a full-day affair – around 8 to 9 hours of non-stop fun, photos, and fascinating stories. Wear comfy shoes and bring that explorer spirit!

3. Do I get picked up from home like a VIP?
Almost! We’ve got convenient pickup points across Western Line, Central Mumbai, and the Harbour Line. Just be at your selected stop on time (we suggest 15 mins early to be safe) – and hop aboard!

4. What if I’m running late for pickup?
We love you, but the bus waits for no one (well, maybe 5-7 mins max). If you’re running late, call us immediately so we can try to help. Otherwise, you may need to meet us at the next pickup or at CST directly. Let’s not make this dramatic—just set an alarm, okay?

5. Where does this joyride end?
Our final official sightseeing stop is Juhu Beach – perfect for that salty breeze selfie. After that, we drop you back at your original pickup point.

6. Is there a guide onboard, or am I Googling stuff on the go?
We’ve got expert guides who’ll keep you entertained and informed throughout. However, guide charges are separate and not included in the bus fare. (Rs.50 per seat)

7. What’s the damage? How much does this cost?
Our tour price varies depending on the location, day, and bus type. We have something for every budget, from affordable fun to AC luxury experiences. Get in touch or visit our website for the latest rates.

8. Will you feed me, or do I need to pack snacks like it’s a school picnic?
Yes, the bus will stop for a Lunch Break – but meals are NOT included! Feel free to bring your own munchies or explore street food options during stops.

9. Can my tiny humans (a.k.a. kids) or grandma tag along?
Absolutely! Our tours are family-friendly. Just keep in mind the walking and weather. Kids under 5 ride for free (on a lap), and those over 5 need a full ticket.

10. Is the tour wheelchair accessible or suitable for special needs?
Accessibility depends on the vehicle and specific site conditions. Contact us in advance so we can help plan a comfortable experience for all.

11. What should I bring for the tour?
Simple checklist:

  • A big smile 😄

  • Comfortable walking shoes 👟

  • Water bottle 💧

  • Sun protection (hat/sunglasses/sunscreen) 🧢🕶️

  • Phone/camera for memories 📸

  • Some cash or UPI 💰

12. Can I bring my doggo along?
On regular shared tours – sorry, no pets 🐶 (some passengers may have allergies). But book a private car or bus, and your furry buddy is welcome! Just clean up after them, or a cleaning fee may apply.

13. What if I change my mind – can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes! Cancel at least 12 hours in advance and get 50% refund. Reschedules are allowed (subject to availability) – also 12 hours prior. Less than 12 hours? Sadly, no refund.

14. How do I book?
Online, phone call, or via our trusted agents. Bookings must be made at least 3 hours in advance. You’ll get a confirmation once payment is processed.

15. How do I pay?
We keep it simple: Cash or UPI payments accepted on the bus before boarding. Group bookings or custom rentals? Let’s talk!

15. Can I rent a private bus or car for my own sightseeing plan?
Heck yes! Whether it’s a family reunion, school trip, or just you being your own tour boss – we offer custom rentals with flexible pricing. Clean, comfortable rides that go where you want. Let’s plan it your way.

16. Do you offer tours in languages other than English and Hindi?
Yes! We have multilingual guides available (depending on availability). Let us know your preference while booking—Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Kannada? We’ll do our best to match you with the right guide.

17. Is photography allowed at the stops?
Yes, yes, and yes! 📸 Most of our tour is super Instagrammable. That said, a few sites may have restrictions inside (like museums or temples), so we’ll guide you accordingly.

18.Do entry tickets to attractions come included in the tour fare?
Short answer: Nope – entry tickets aren’t included. But before you panic, here’s the full scoop:

Most stops are view-from-outside or free to explore, but a few attractions (like museums, 4D shows, boat rides, etc.) do have entry fees. The good news?
👉 You get to choose which places you want to go into – nothing’s compulsory.
👉 Don’t waste time standing in ticket lines – pay the guide directly, and they’ll handle the tickets for you like a VIP.
This way, you get more time to explore and click pics, instead of queueing up!

Time at each stop is limited, so we make sure you make the most of every minute.

If after all this you still have questions give us a call or drop a text and we will clear those for you right away!
