We had a great experience with Takshak. It was a private tour so we were able to personalize. We got a good overview of some of Mumbai most iconic places. Enjoyed the conversation about culture, film and books. And got some good recommendations from him.

This is a very busy city but our guides made it easy and safe to travel around. Both tour guides were wonderful and super nice. Great English!

A great way to see Mumbai on a customised tour with an excellent guide

Dee_H, Apr 2024
Neha expertly guided us around Mumbai in a comfortable AC car. She was very flexible with the places we wanted to see and told us much about living in Mumbai and the sites we were visiting. Her English was excellent. We had a truly memorable day.

Brilliant tour with a first class guide.

Takshak was a brilliant tour guide - knowledgable, friendly and helpful. We spent a wonderful day with him seeing the sights and sounds of Mumbai. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Dangerous! Helmet not provided

alegomessp, Feb 2024
Super dangerous. I was on a motorcycle. They didnt provide helmets. Finished the tour half day was too dangerous.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello! I have NOT provided any motorcycle tour to you, AFAIK. Can you please post the booking ID here to confirm it was this tour? Or perhaps you can post some pictures or screenshots to prove the same. It could be you wanted to post this in some other place. Or you just want to blemish the perfect reviews.

Customized sightseeing Mumbai experience with friendly guide

Varun_B, Dec 2023
As first-time visitors, me and my mom thoroughly enjoyed wide range of diverse attractions covered during this tour. Takshak (our tour guide) was fantastic and accommodating to our interests and made this experience even more meaningful. THANK YOU😊

Great Scooter Tour of Mumbai

Ebin_J, May 2022
The Mumbai day tour was brilliant. Takshak was a wonderful tour guide and helped see Mumbai in a day during my flight layover. He is very skilled with navigating through the heavy Mumbai traffic with me seated on the back of his scooter and was also flexible with my timings and interest in terms of what I wanted to see. He was also knowledgeable and told me many interesting things about the places we visited. Overall, great tour and would highly recommend if you have some time and want to explore Mumbai in a day.

Very thorough and flexible tour with Takshak Dowda. He is very generous and kind also knowledgeable. Recommended for the cost.

Mumbai Solo Tour

Diana_P, Jan 2020
Mumbai was my first solo tour. It allowed flexibility to focus on my interests. Takshak Dawda, my tour guide, was very personable, shared interesting information, and and handled the city traffic ably.I gained a feel for the city and it’s vibrancy and would love to go back.
