Best day in Mumbai
Me and my wife had a fantastic day together with Aryan and the driver. They booth took us to very interesting places, including the Dharavi area. Highly recommend this tour operator ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great Tour with Aryan
Amazing tour, Aryan the guide was very knowledgeable about everywhere we went and took some great photos for us. The tour had a really good variety of places to see and was the perfect length, and he was very understanding when we were delayed to be picked up for the tour. Would definitely recommend to see many of the different sites in Mumba
Flott opplevelse
Fikk sett mye av Mumbai sør. Flink og kunnskapsrik guide. Neha.
Solid one day tour
We booked the full-day tour and loved it. The morning started in the slum, where our guide Ritika was warm and attentive and clearly made an effort to look after us.
In the afternoon we continued with the city tour, led by Shalmali. She was excellent: knowledgeable, well educated, and easy to follow. English isn’t our first language, but she spoke so clearly that we didn’t miss a thing.
A special mention goes to our driver, JQ, who made us feel as safe as anyone can in Mumbai traffic, which is absolutely crazy 🤪
Tour of Mumbai
We had a wonderful time with Aryan, he was very patient with us when our flight and transfer to the hotel were delayed so we were over an hour late for the pick up. When we did get going he was so knowledgeable about all the sites and went out of his way to take us to the apartment block I lived in in the 1970s. We returned to the usual tour and visited such a diverse range of places, he talked about all of them and took photos of us as a group, he is a much better photographer than me! I hadn’t realised that the admission fee to the Ghandi museum was included so that was a nice surprise. He was willing to cut things short when we became tired after our 4 am start and was very understanding. We saw all sides of Mumbai from the leafy parks of Malibar Hill to the dhobi laundry and also the cricket pitches set in the UNESCO world heritage site of art deco and Victorian gothic buildings. I don’t think we could have asked for more!
