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

ExcellentBased on 5,244 ReviewsIsabella Luu made the arrangements for our trip to Scotland and all aspects of the trip and stay were excellent. Our assistance at the airports were very good as all were alerted to our needs. Our ride services were excellent. Isabella was always available to answer any questions that we had in a knowledgable and prompt manner, which is always very important to me.Audrey HenryHad an excellent tour of Australia, thanks to our travel specialist Katie Stephenson. She was patient as we kept modifying our plans. Got support from Goway and Katie when there was a need to rebook a tour midway through, all handled easily by Goway.Ron PrestonWe went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja BreilingWe used Goway to put together an itinerary for East Africa , and Zanzibar . Everything was great and went smoothly DawnI can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle LabarcaI had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie WilliamsWe were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormackThe destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years.
If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek TravelWe had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you!
Ben DaubeKatie was professional, extremely responsive, and very welcoming to work with! We appreciate the recommendations, thoughtful edits, and the expertise. Would definitely recommend Goway travel and working with their team.Parking.com Customer
