Amazing Experience. - Akanksha was my guide for the walk. Started on time, with interesting chats about how Mumbai came to be. She was open to hearing opinions and facts when presented. The walk was to last 2hrs, instead it lasted around 4hrs as there were mutual conversations along the way with numerous questions. Really pleased with the experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking

Wonderful tour - Great tour with Abhishek, great guide! Knowledgable and humorous. You get what is promised, no unplanned detours to “souvenir shops “ or other nonsense. And, he thought us how to cross a street in Mumbai 😅
