A FANTASTIC DAY IN MUMBAI ! - 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)

Amazing day-must do! - 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!

Mumbai with Dharavi Slum, tackling prejudices... - In my opinion, everybody visiting Mumbai should do this tour! It's important to see the slums and other different aspects of the city to deal with / get rid of many prejudices. Thanks to Dev we had a great experience!

Amazing time seeing the main attractions of Mumbai - slum tour is a must! - Had an amazing time exploring Mumbai. Mukesh and Taj were incredibly friendly and accomodating, they made me feel safe and welcome and shared a lot of really good insights about the city’s history and culture. Special shout out to Mukesh who was not only an excellent driver but who also has a real talent with people and so much knowledge to share - he should be a guide himself! He made my experience really special and memorable, couldn’t recommend him more.
