    Am a Mumbai resident.

    Its not what you'd call a typically 'touristy' city. Youve more or less covered everything that any tourist visiting Mumbai would cover.

    Its usually a lot of walking in town- 'South Bombay'- where all the Victorian Buildings are – the same larger area as the Asiatic Library you've captured in this video.

    My city's got by far the best vibe in the country (ofcourse im biased – who isnt ? ) so just walk around- enjoy the vibe- the constant hustle bustle – the honking not so much- the food & the sunset at marine drive.

    An added tip- next time, try the 'filter coffee' WITH sugar/jaggery & NOT with cow milk. That'l give you a real taste of it.

    Given your experiences in India- just be safe and commence & end your trip here in Mumbai.

    Happy Travels !

    Hi Pheobe you should stay in Good hotels in Andheri near to airport. Also next time do visit Taj hotel, Leopoldo cafe, colaba causeway, Kaala ghoda festival, mount Mary church, Bandra sea link, explore Bandra. You can spend good three days with some relax time explore Juhu night clubs and night drive to BKC etc.

    I really enjoy your top notch editing and overall performance. Just perfect💯👍👏 Great job. Awesome channel! 😊

  22. @Shobyw

    You enjoyed here because you felt safe and because you didn’t get scammed!

    Hi Phobe, I'm from Gurgaon, near Delhi and was really disappointed to hear that you had a really bad experience in Delhi, Jaipur and Goa. It would be better if you do not book through a travel agent and stay at decent hotels in all these places. Please do visit India, including Northern India. There is so much to see. However, I agree that you may need to make sure that you have trustworthy people to take you around like you had Anand in Mumbai.

  31. @amubi

    India will not on my visit list since I've seen enough of them

  34. @michaelhaag705

    Hi there, I was trying to contact your guide on WhatsApp but doesn’t seem the number you’ve listed is on WhatsApp. Could you confirm the number? Thanks!

  35. @JackSparrow-uk3pt

    local population of Mumbai is very low. unfortunately Mumbai is heavily populated by people from other states especially UP and Bihar.

  37. @ameyabellare7377

    If you enjoy seafood (Very ethinic to coastal region of Maharastra), you should go to Highway Gomantak.Used to be my favourite place when i lived in Mumbai.Mumbai is ny birth place however i have moved to New Zealand. Highway Gomantak is a local gem and very few might know about it.Another place for good sea good is Mahesh lunch home but will be pricey.The real gems in Mumbai for food are the ones that are very local .

  38. @lloydsouza

    Phoebe, am so glad you had a good time in Mumbai. I live in Bandra, Mumbai and wonder if you explored Bandra. You are always safe in Mumbai, which is the safest city in this country. If you use a black and yellow taxi or Rickshaw, you pay by the electronic meter so you don't get ripped off. You can eat cheaply (Street vendors) or eat expensive food too. Come back to Mumbai and if you need any advice, do get in touch. I won't charge you. 😂😂😂

  39. @lloydsouza

    Phoebe, you barely scratched the surface in Mumbai. I would be glad to suggest restaurants, places to visit, etc. Please reach out. God bless.

    I came here after seeing your "is india safe for female travelers" video. I just wanna say, if you love india, but felt unsafe and uncomfortable so much of the time, you would probably LOVE Nepal 🇳🇵 ❤ my husband is from Nepal and I've been many times. It's amazing. There was ONE time I got the paparazzi treatment from like 3 teenage guys, but it was lowkey and I didnt feel scared or threatened. I didnt know why they wanted a picture with me, and I didn't say no or anything, but I feel like if i would have, they would have gone away. Nothing like what you described in India. Nepali people are mellow and super friendly! Beautiful country and mountains and amazing food! ❤

  41. @kc6522

    Where did you find your guide? Just curious. Considering contacting him for any upcoming trip.

  43. @loopyblondes

    Coming to Mumbai on Friday and excited just doesn't even cover it! Can you remember the name of the cow shelter as feel that this is a must see place in Mumbai? Thanks Carol-Anne

  44. @evesdaughter6130

    When I was 17 i wrote in my journal that I wanted to visit India it was always a DREAM destination! I finally got to visit Mumbai and Goa last January ca. 20 years later! Love India and its history and people most of all the FOOD. Everything was so good during my trip. India is such a blessing to the world — yoga, spirituality, mantras, mudras etc. haha i could go on. Enjoy Phoebe love your channel
