Fabulous introduction to Mumbai - This is an excellent way to get your bearings in Mumbai. The tour is relaxed and friendly, and covers a lot of ground. The guide provided interesting info, and answered any question. It's pretty hot and sweaty in Mumbai. Bring water, and remember to drink it!

A great and fascinating tour with Chetan. - Chetan was a brilliant guide, we first started off at The Gateway of India with its intricate latticework and fascinating history. It was interesting too to see the Taj Hotel. We travelled on the bus and took a taxi ride back near to our hotel and walked to the very busy Colaba street market selling everything! My favourite part of the tour was the huge Maharaj Terminus Station with its stunning architecture. 8 million people pass through this station daily. Also admiring Prince Arthur’s house. Thank you Chetan for your fascinating tour. David and Rose

Mumbai heritage - I was very impressed with Mumbai Fort district. Very clean, very beautiful buildings. I did the morning tour when there was not too many people so I was able to capture some good photos. The guide and the tour company are really wonderful.

Authentic, respectful and eye-opening - We did the Dharavi tour with Reality Tours & Travel and we are impressed. Our guide not only guided us through the narrow streets, but also explained the complex economic and social structures of this 'city district within the city' in detail and in a differentiated way. The ethical approach is particularly noteworthy: As an NGO, 80% of profits go directly to local education projects. If you want to understand Mumbai beyond its shiny facades without falling into voyeuristic 'slum tourism', this is the place to be. Absolutely recommend!

An exceptional experience - more than just a tour - Javed was an excellent, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. We have learned so much about Mumbai and its history. We particularly appreciated learning about the Reality Tours social enterprise and the positive impact it has. Its educational work is clearly making a difference.
