A Bit Starstruck - This was such a unique and memorable way to spend a day in Mumbai! Our guide was Roosh, who was so kind and knowledgeable about the Bollywood industry. It was fascinating to be able to walk around a number of sets, watch the live filming of two different shows, and learn about the history of Bollywood. We also had the pleasure of meeting his boss Rahil, an extremely friendly guy who introduced us to one of the star actresses on set. Roosh and Rahil made sure that we were comfortable and supplied with drinks and snacks. Huge bonuses to the day were the tasty lunch at a local restaurant and round trip transport from our hotel. It was overall very fun and wonderful to have everything arranged for us from start to finish.

Amazing! - The guides couldn't do enough for us. We staged a prison drama, danced and sang. They made my 9 year old feel like a star! Would definitely recommend with kids.

A unique chance to experience filming up close - Absolutely incredible how close you get to filming of popular Bollywood TV. We were basically standing on the set, next to the cameramen which is something you would.not get to experience anywhere else. We got to tour the sets where many famous films were shot. We also got to take photos with many of the actors who were nice enough to stop for photos. We got to see some live dance performances and even got to join in. Also we got to do some Karaoke in a recording booth which was fun. Tour was guided by industry insiders who were knowledgeable about their craft.

A day full of fun, luck and charm - We had a lovely day with our guide Roosh and the owner of WOB Rahil Khan. They were so generous and were able to guide us through all the studiosets, watch a scene shooting of the daily Parineetii soap. And we had lots of fun singing and learning to dance. We feel very lucky for this opportunity.

And would like to give special thanks to SHO/tour guide, and our driver, when my brother-in-law left his mobile phone in the hotel, SHO contacted the hotel, and the driver drove back to the hotel and picked it up for us, we really appreciated!!!

Fun day at Bollywood tour - Roosh and Rahil gave their best to make sure that i will have an awesome experience during Bollywood tour! It was so much fun and full of surprises, learning about the pre-production, production and post production process, also about Bollywood history and films, i won’t share much on the surprises, i will let you find out! On the top of this, an amazing meal in a very nice awarded restaurant was included in the visit. Definitely recommended!!!

Great Tour Guide - Beware of Viator Charges - My Guide Sho was very good and made the tour great. Unfortunately Viator charged me in American dollars not Australian dollars and made this tour very expensive. Not happy with Viator.
