For a family Mumbai Darshan, book a 6-seater (Ertiga, Kia Carens or Innova Crysta), start by 9 am, and plan kid-friendly stops like Gateway of India, Hanging Gardens, Marine Drive, Juhu Beach and the Nehru Science Centre, with a lunch break around 1 pm. Keep temple visits short to avoid long queues with children or elders.
