Excellent tour - I have really enjoyed the Bollywood tour with Devroop and Rahil. They took an excellent care of our grouop, which was small, so this was a very personalized experience. It was great to learn about the industry, see how the movies are filmed, visit different scenarios... We took lots of pics in costumes, we even made a short movie. I would really recommend it. Thank you!

Fun and informative tour of the real Bollywood - As a movie fan, it was a must to visit a real studio in Mumbai and get a genuine taste of the Bollywood film industry. My guide was Rahil Khan, an actor and screenwriter himself and an excellent host for the tour and lunch. I really enjoyed the live dance show which encouraged audience participation in the last dance then photo opportunities and we learned about the history of Bollywood. There were props to dress up in if you wished and up in the sound booth we saw demos of Special effects, voice over work and the importance of Foley sound effects which are customised sounds made in post-production. Soundstages were available to tour and on one we got to see a live scene being set up and filmed with the actors. A hive of activity indeed. What a fun and interesting afternoon, feeling like a VIP guest!

The best tour of my life - This was a superb tour... beautifully crafted, taking us through the long history of the BOLLYWOOD industry. The tour was wonderful and the food experiences truly memorable. Our guide Mr Rahil Khan went to great lengths to provide us with experiences much beyond expectations and I cannot thank him enough. Being part of the bollywood industry himself, Rahil Khan is the best tour guide anyone can ask for. Totally worth it. Thank You mere bhai Rahil Khan!!

Best Ever Lifetime Experience - World of Bollywood - Being a Bollywood lover, what else can I ask for. Amazing Experience! Well Worth It. We absolutely loved doing this Bollywood Tour and would recommend it to ANYONE who wants to do an experience World of Bollywood (WOB) Tour in Mumbai (City of Dreams). Our Tour Guide Mr. Rahil Khan & more like a friend and brother (bhai), what more can I talk about him, brilliant - super friendly, helpful, considerate and extremely knowledgeable - educating us not only on the food element but about WOB in details. Definitely worth the trip! Thank you again Rahil Khan bhai - we wouldn't have wanted anybody else to show us around! Highly recommended. We have spread our words back in our country (Malaysia) about him, the trip and experience. Looking forward for another trip soon. Thank You Bhai

Fun Bollywood Tour with Rahil Khan - We had great fun and a fantastic experience to visit the Bollywood Studio with Rahil Khan. We consider ourselves very lucky that he was there with us in the studio to show us around and he is full of fun and makes you laugh all the time. My sister and I are from Peru 🇵🇪 and this is our first visit to India and our first day in Mumbai was most enjoyable thanks to Rahil Khan and his team. I highly recommend this Bollywood Tour to everyone especially with this company if you want to have an enjoyable, informative, learning and fun experience. Rahil Khan also takes great pictures and videos and because of his connections we could meet the actresses personally and chat with them.

Totally amazing BOLLYWOOD. - I was picked by Roosh the young tour guid.
He is an excellent guide and I would highly recommend requesting to have him take you on the Bollywood tour. So informative about the whole set at the studio. Taking you in behind the scenes of some of the famous shows that are produced there at SJ studio.
We got to watch behind the cameras as they shot parts of the series.
Amazing to watch.
I highly recommend this tour.
Wait until you finish the tour off with a mouth smacking lunch.
You won’t be disappointed.
The tour a must see and ask for Roosh.

Incredible day with Mr. Rahil Khan. - This was a fabulous day tailor made by Mr Rahil Khan created especially for my wife's birthday! She is a huge Bollywood fan and enjoyed every minute of the day. Rahil went the extra mile at all places and took amazing pictures for us, being a filmmaker he has a great eye for photography. His commentary was so good in impeccable English. He makes terrific conversations and connects so well with us with all the amazing inside stories about Bollywood. It was a very memorable day especially for my wife. This was a surprise from me to her and I most delighted that I found Mr. Rahil Khan and his company World of Bollywood Tours in Mumbai who i would highly recommend to everybody. Just contact him and you will be assured of a lovely memorable day.

Had a great time, but please check with tour guides if you struggle with walking/climbing stairs - We had a great time & my mum was really pleased that she got to meet some of her favourite TV stars. Both Rahil & Roosh were very accommodating with our requests. Roosh was our tour guide & he was very knowledgeable & was very helpful.
The lunch at the end was really delicious! The only reason I have give this a 4 out 5 was that there was a lot of walking & a lot of stairs, which was quite difficult for my mum who has difficulty in walking...I think it would be useful for them to make it clear before you book that anyone with difficulty in walking for long amounts of time might struggle slightly.
