Mumbai highlight tour - We just opted for 3 hours worth of sightseeing and the tour was great. Educational, fun and easy. Our tour guide came highly recommended and he didn’t disappoint. We checked out architectural landmarks, Gandhi’s house and spots for photo ops and views. 10/10.

Yas to Yash - Had an enjoyable day around Mumbai with Yash. He is an amazing guide - friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about historical facts. He is also extremely flexible when we asked to change our itinerary on the fly (to accommodate some shopping!) Highly recommend Yash if you are looking for a guide around the city.

A great way to get to see more about the real Mumbai - The tour by Ruqaiyya was great! Didn't really know what to expect, but was really amazed what she showed us. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see a little bit more of the real Mumbai.

A must do tour! - This is an amazing tour and I highly recommend it if you’re in Mumbai. It’s a really cool and unique opportunity to see first hand a way of life that is so unique to westerners yet so common in India. The Dharavi slum is a fascinating and impressive community and I’m so glad Jitendra took the time to show us around. He was from the slum and was super knowledgeable about life there and had answers to all of our questions. He’s a really nice guy and a great tour guide.

Superb tour with excellent guide Chirag - Absolutely fantastic tour of the Dharavi slum by Chirag who lives there with his extended family. It is a fascinating place and not at all what we in the “West” often think of as a slum. The sense of community is all around. Yes it’s dirty but the people seem happy and many I’m sure choose to live there, I feel not just because it’s cheaper but because they do seem to look out for one another.
The city tour was also excellent and our driver Deepak negotiated the often horrendous Mumbai traffic safely.
Chirag was very informative and knowledgable and didn’t rush us at all.
I would highly recommend this tour and in particular Chirag and Deepak.
Thank you both

Good whistle stop tour - Good whistle stop tour of the main sites in Mumbai - we particularly enjoyed experiencing the laundry and the slum; the latter was a complete assault on the senses.
Our young guide was friendly and thoughtful and needs to continue to develop his approach to make his commentary more enlightening.
