I had a solo private tour and the amount spent did not match the experience due to tour guide having social media on her phone, not telling me how much time I had each location. Amount of information was minimal. Not the best or worth the money
Todd_T, Feb 2026
Great experience. Driver and guide were great. Saw many things I would have missed. Recommended. Great photography.
Response from Host, Feb 2026

Your recommendation truly means a lot to us. Hope to see you again in Mumbai! 🌟

Extremely enjoyable. Traffic meant it lasted an extra half an hour. Lots of the buildings look far better lit up after dark than in the daytime. This is particularly true of The Gateway of India.
Guides name arrived during the day and the communication was very good.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear the tour was extremely enjoyable and that the evening views—especially the Gateway of India—were even more impressive after dark. Despite the traffic extending the tour slightly, we’re pleased that communication was clear and well managed, and that you had a positive overall experience.

It was a good glimpse of Mumbai at night. Driver and guide were very knowledgeable. If you did a morning sightseeing tour it is basically seeing the highlights once again in a different perspective

We had a fantastic evening exploring Mumbai with Abhi and Arjun. Arjun collected us from our hotel right on time at 18:00 and made the drive to our first stop genuinely enjoyable, sharing plenty of insights about the city along the way. He’s an excellent driver—calm, courteous and clearly experienced.
When we arrived, we met Abhi, our guide for the night, who elevated the experience even further. He explained every stop with clarity and patience, and really helped us appreciate Mumbai’s landmarks after dark. The city looks completely different once it’s illuminated, and seeing it at night is something I’d highly recommend if you have an evening free.
Overall, a very professional team and a tour well worth doing.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your wonderful and detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Arjun’s safe driving and insights, along with Abhi’s clear and patient guiding, made your Mumbai night tour so memorable. The city truly shines after dark, and we’re glad you enjoyed it. We appreciate your kind words and recommendation! 🙏

Shruti is a great guide with a lot of great stories about Mumbai history. In addition, she escorted me carefully thru the traffic and streets so I feel comfortable. Arjun, the driver, cruised thru the traffic smoothly and safely. This was a relaxing trip yet full of wonders! Thank you for arranging this trip
Response from Host, Sep 2025

As an amateur iPhone travel photographer so my interest in taking this tour was to get the best and most interesting photos of the places we visited. Miss Shruti, our guide, was responsive to my interests and suggested great photo spots along the way. She was patient as took several photos at each stop and I never felt rushed. She also offered to take pictures of us throughout the tour. Mumbai is interesting to see in daylight, but really shines at night! I highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2025

This is the first time we have used Viator and it won't be the last. The night tour around Mumbai was awesome and made even more enjoyable by our very knowledgeable and friendly guide, Arshad. Arshad was able to tailor the tour to our needs and we had ample time at each location to look round and take photos. Mumbai is an amazing city by day but you really do see a different side of it by night, especially seeing the old buildings illuminated such as the famous Chhatrapati Terminus and also the stunning views across the bay encompassing the modern side of the city. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Feb 2025

It’s great to know that Arshad made the night tour even more enjoyable by tailoring it to your needs and allowing ample time for sightseeing and photos. Mumbai’s transformation by night is truly special, and we’re happy you got to see landmarks like Chhatrapati Terminus and enjoy the views across the bay. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the future.

Brilliant! Shruti and Ayun picked us up from the hotel and took us to so much more than 'the sights'. Loads of photo ops, lively market, amazingly lit architecture and staion life. Interesting insights from locals. Bonkers and beautuful ! Felt safe throughout, locals wanted pictures with us, so equally fascinated!

This was an interesting tour. To be honest, we were expecting to see special lighting effects on the various buildings, but they really don't have that in Mumbai. We saw places & buildings we would have preferred to see in the daylight. I'm not sure why day tours don't have them on their itinerary because they were very good. For that reason, I would recommend doing this tour. A lot of places were included for the time allowed!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Dear valued Guest,
Thank you for your feedback!
We're glad you enjoyed the tour and found it comprehensive. We'll consider your suggestion about including certain spots in the day tours. Your input helps us improve. We hope to welcome you again!

We were pick up promptly at our Hotel by Vijay, then we were meet by our guild Max at the outdoor laundry.
Between both of them they had given us both a very informative tour and went of there way to assist us during the tour, and present a wealth of knowledge.
We would differently use the company and these two gentleman again on our next tour.
Thanks for the great night.

Christopher_T, Dec 2024
Your was nice, both your guide and driver kept us informed and provided good information of the sites. One disappointing factor was that the Gateway of India was closed due to a private event so didn’t get to see it properly with the lights and couldn’t take photos. Recommend these things should be known prior to us going or booking the tour as we probably would have picked a different night for it. Apart from that, overall experience was alright.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that both your guide and driver kept you informed throughout the experience. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the closure of the Gateway of India due to a private event. We understand how disappointing it can be to miss out on such a key part of the tour, and we’ll take your suggestion into account for future bookings to ensure this is communicated in advance. We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide you with a more seamless experience next time.

How lucky I was to have Mayur Dixit as my guide on this wonderfully fulfilling trip. He speaks perfect English and will keep you safe.
The lights of Mumbai trip is amazing and Mayur sure knew where they were located and the best ways to photograph them. He also took the time to take me on a totally intriguing tour through a maze of laneways to visit various tiny temples at night. This was one of the highlights of my trip to India. Mayur (and his incredibly capable driver) gave me fantastic value for money. After seeing the beautiful lights I was given the option of ending the tour or visiting a small local restaurant/bar for a local beer. Of course, I took the second option and further enjoyed Mayur's company and local anecdotes over a drink.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour and will most definitely be doing it again (with Mayur, of course) if I get the chance.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Dear Guest,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Mayur.

We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure in Mumbai!
