SURPRISE ME!
Your visit to Mumbai is incomplete till you have had a taste of Bollywood. If you have been yearning to see the workings of the film industry up-close, we have it all sorted out for you. Take a Bollywood Tour, check out the behind-the-scenes action and simply live the magic of movies!
There are a couple of tour guides in Mumbai who specialise in conducting Bollywood Tours. Some take you exclusively on a Bollywood Tour, while others pair it up with a city tour. If gaining insights into Bollywood is what interests you, then go for the exclusive Bollywood Tour. The guides usually would have spent many years in Bollywood, and hence come with a wealth of knowledge. Make the most of it!
It would be a great idea to pre-book your tickets. Though certain tour operators accommodate last minute entries, if you have your tickets booked in advance, they can plan the trip better and also customize it for you at times.

Some exciting packages are usually lined up, but they can custom-tailor it according to your interest. Typically, it would be a combination of the below mentioned activities.
Here the focus will be on behind-the-scene glimpses of Bollywood film-making, where you will be taken to a movie set to witness the exciting technicalities and mechanics involved during the shoot. You may also have access to specially-built studios where you can observe the technicians at work. If you are lucky, you can get a peep into some film star’s makeup room and even a chance to pose with him or her.
You will be taken to a live shoot, where you can observe the nuances involved in acting—the take and retakes that the directors calls for, or the beauty with which the actors immediately don the character of the role and deliver mind-blowing performances. However, this would depend on whether any shoot is taking place during the days of your visit.
This tour includes a visit to the editing, dubbing and music studio, where you will witness how dubbing gives an impactful edge to the characters, the magic that visual effects lend to a movie, and how the scenes are woven into a sequence through editing.
Bollywood is all about music and dance. Some tour operators arrange exclusive dance performances, where dancers will woo you with exhilarating dance moves and guess what, you may get a chance to shake a leg or two, and even pose with them.
You will be driven past the homes of Bollywood stars, where you can take a look at their houses and even click pictures. There are certain days, when the actor may come out to greet the crowd. But those are special days, and may not always be included in the tours.
