Our guide, Raj and chauffeur, Manoj were perfectly on time (early actually!) and were both extremely informative, knowledgeable, funny and adaptable as we went “off script” a bit as we had visited a few of the listed locations the day before! We asked for additional time at the Ghandi museum and that was perfectly fine with them. I will never forget the slums, laundry and Taj hotel either! What a great time was had! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who really wants an insightful and fun time in Mumbai! Rod & Colleen Dyke (Seattle, Washington USA)

We went on a private tour of Mumbai with Mukesh and saw all the key sights. He was a great guide-very approachable and knowledgable. We finished the day with a guided walk through the slum with a second guide called Abeshek who was again very kind and knowledgable, and told us about the different types of life and industries in the slum. An eye-opening experience all round which we would thoroughly recommend. Both guides were great fun and my teenage sons enjoyed some IPL related banter with them!

Wonderful tour!! Both Anthony and Mukesh were professional and very kind! Both extremely knowledgeable in Mumbai and culture/religions represented. Their English was great!! They arrived at our hotel on time for pick up. Then we spent the rest of day seeing all the great things to see in Mumbai! When we come back we will ask for ANTHONY!!!
