Slice of Bandra, served with love! - Loved the tour! Sanika is super knowledgeable and passionate, and as a subject matter expert she ensured the walk is engaging and memorable. We loved exploring the bylanes of Bandra, and as a Mumbaikar I now have new lens to this part of the city, thanks to her. We also learnt that this was curated by her end-to-end, so it's extra special! From origin names, folk backgrounds to map references, restaurants and bakeries, street names, cultural nuances and even photos of properties (a lovely then and now perspective), Sanika helped us get a fresh gaze on Bandra. She's also the reason when I spot Santa Cruz on train travel, I immediately have a historical reference to the name now! I'd definitely recommend Mumbai Dream Tours and a walk with Sanika to discover more of the city I call home ❣️

Bandra is so interesting - The tour was so informative. Akanksha was such a good tour guide. She lead us through how Bandra went from a sleepy fishing village to a thriving creative community while holding on to key elements of its historic past. I highly recommend.

Saw a side of Bandra I did not know existed - I did the Bandra walking tour in April 2024 with Akanksha as my guide. We started at St. Andrew’s church and ended at Mt. Mary exploring several places along the way. It was fun and informative at the same time. Would highly recommend to those trying to learn more about the history of the Bandra. To quote the guide “Bandra is more than just bakeries and cafés, it’s also fish and nets”. You’ll know why I said this when you take the tour ;)

Fantastic tour guide - I was originally meant to do the heritage walk tour, but switched to this one and I’m glad I did. Bandra is very interesting location and is much calmer compared to gateway. Our guide Akanksha was very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She gave a really good breakdown of the history of Mumbai and Bandra and was able to answer all our questions. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mumbai.
