The tour can last up to four hours, or even a whole day – depending on how wide spread the locations are. The tours are personally taken by Shriti, who will give you the background and interesting facts about these places. For Maximum City, you’ll be taken to Dariya Mahal, Borkar vada pao guy, sherbets at Sikkanagar, Radha Bai Chawal in Jogeshwari, and so much more.
