Our tour guide Divya was...

Pragya_S, Jan 2025
Our tour guide Divya was very knowledgeable and brought the whole studio experience to life. Experiencing Dharavi with her was wonderful and she had grown up there and bringing her own personal experiences into it made it so memorable. She was one of the best tour guides I have ever had !

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Mam, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Divya made your experience in Dharavi so memorable. Her personal connection to the area truly adds a unique and enriching perspective to the tour. It's wonderful to know that you had such a positive experience with her—she'll be so pleased to hear this! We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another tour in the future. Thanks & Regards,

The ugly on the earth really were evil hearted experience. Beaty on the outside is ugliness unless you hold it within.

Connie_L, Dec 2023
Tuk tuk ride and city ride home was the best part. Actresses looked like they walked off a set from hell they looked so mean. Promised tour of star homes and dairy and they weren’t going to do it. Had to argue to a belingerant owner. Website option misleading. Read as included city tour I. Drop-down. You need to have English scholars proof your webpage or you can be sued for misleading advertising.

Better then Hollywood

Marek_P, Apr 2023
Great experience. Much better then visiting Hollywood studios in Los Angeles ,USA. 3 HR of big fun, very nice guide!

Good overall

Benjamin_J, Feb 2023
Good overall, and the guide and driver were excellent. Was wonderful to see different parts of the city, learn its history, and getting around was easy. The studio section was good, but a bit of a let down. Was nice to see them building sets, but it was mainly looking at a couple videos showing no ow the locations were used, a room that somewhat showed the history, and walking around often used sets. Was hoping for a little more history and other activities, and it was quite short at about 25-30 minutes for the studio section

My husband and I booked a Private...

Michael_L, Oct 2017
My husband and I booked a Private Tour for 2 at 170. We had read reviews noting the 1 hour plus drive to the Studio and that the tour was a bit lame and were OK with that because we really wanted to see something on Bollywood. But our Private tour included 8 young adults because our guide had a family thing going on whose antics really detracted from our experience. The price for 2 in a group of 10 would have been very different but the owner had no comment justifying the change in status. He's very proud of the Bollywood dance demonstration he has added which was very nice.

Suppose to be one hour drive...

Kenneth_R, Oct 2017
Suppose to be one hour drive, however it was about 2 hours. The drive past the famous Indian stars houses was not worth the effort, can only get a glimpse from inside the car. The studio was interesting but not worth what we payed for the tour. Overall it was a overpriced tour.

We had a really great experience...

Beatrice G, Apr 2017
We had a really great experience visiting Bollywood with our guide Sufiyan. The tour was customised for us as there were some things we did not want to do eg drive past stars' homes. We were picked up on time from our hotel, given cold drinks on arrival and saw most of the aspects of the studios. We were really lucky that rehearsals were going on for a dance competition and were able to watch. At the end we were dropped back to a point of our choosing in the vicinity of our hotel. We would definitely recommend this tour.

We enjoyed our tour and would recommend...

A waste of money.Bad directory..A waste of a day.Not to take this trip.

It was a very private tour, perfect...

Jukka K, Jan 2017
It was a very private tour, perfect timed to be on the spot for the taking. But be prepared for a long carride through constant rushhour Bombay. Studios are outside town, on different sites, Bollywood is a expression not a location. But no matter the long cartrip, this is a uniqe tour, highly recommended.

We registered for this tour early...

Fadli A, Jan 2017
We registered for this tour early and basically We went to Mumbai just for this since my wife fond of Bollywood movies. However, there was no communication between tour organizer and us which create doubt whether this tour would happen or not especially since I have changed my hotel address. Even though there was confirmation a day prior of this tour, this after many e-mail and sms. Driver and guide was coming early and drive us going for 2 hrs to the studio which on outskirt of Mumbai. There was bridge construction on going which lengthening the journey. We visited the studio and take picture. We can get view of on going scene. However, there was many unnecessary restriction which quite irritated i.e you can't take picture during movie scene and sound. The latter is understandable however for the first, it is not that good since We have paid the huge amount just to snap the memory and this just reduce the experience. They need to have agreement with studios to allow some disctance for taking picture otherwise it is useless. After this studio tour, then We visited buffalo farm and milk and heading to Bollywood stars house i.e shah rur Khan, Salman Khan, etc. We just only get picture from inside car which also reduce our experience.
