Rakesh the guide was what made this excursion, his level of knowledge was outstanding, he had a great attitude and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed his job as a guide, when family and friends visit Mumbai I usually arrange a slum tour, this is the third and the. Best I have done, I am really happy to recommend Rakesh as a guide and will use him again myself

ガイドさんが私達の英語レベルにあわせて、簡単な単語を使ってくれたり、ゆっくり説明してくれたので、わかりやすかったです。 また、冗談のわかる方で非常に楽しいツアーでした。本来は10時からのツアーでしたが我々の要望に答えて9時からに変更していただけたので非常に助かりました。 次回ムンバイに行く機会があれば、今回のガイドさんにまたお願いしたいと思います。
