Best tour in all of Mumbai !

Vinnie_T, Feb 2026
I don't even know where to start with this amazing tour. The tour took a quick turn when my husband had a slip and fall. Javed jumped into action & took ua to get treatment and stitches at a local hospital. We then went on with the tour and made ao many great stops. The highlights were the slums, the outdoor laundry, the railway station and the former home of Mahatma Gandhi. The ride was comfortable, cold drinks provided and Javed was so knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. I highly recommend this tour and Javed as your guide. I rate this 10 stars !!

A great and insightful experience covering historical sites, vibrant street life and delicious food that all stimulate your five senses. It could be a bit chaotic, but that is part of the immersion to explore the unique energy and diverse offerings of Mumbai.

Highly recommended if you want to vist slums

Today we took a tour of Dharavi and other sights around Mumbai. The experience was like non-other we had experienced before. Our guide Chetan was the best. He was very knowledgeable with ALL of Mumbai’s history and gave us so many interesting facts. We originally were not going to go to Dharavi, but once he shared our safety was the top of the tour’s priority, we changed our mind. Touring Dharavi shared an eye opening experience and an insight to the slums and their daily lives.

Mumbai madness at its best

See a lot in one day, so make sure you have the stamina to do so. Great Tour with great narrative!!!

A day that you will remember

Was a bit apprehensive doing a private tour in such a big city. I shouldn't have worried Sabina was there to greet us at the port with a driver in a lovely clean a/c car. What a day we had, she was so knowledgeable about all aspects of the city tour and she packed all the sights in. The most memberal part of the tour had to be the visit to the slums.This could have been a bit scary( it is a slum so it's not gonna be a flower fi!led walk in a park) but in fact we found it quite humbling, the hours these people work and the conditions in which they live has to be seen to be believed. What we found heart wrenching where the children who had nothing but an amazing spirit for life, all they wanted was to know was where we came from and to say Hi all done whilst giving us the biggest smiles ever! (Not an Nintendo switch in sight just good old fashion street games and football...think kids in UK could do with a school trip there to make them appreciate how lucky they are!!) The amazing thing is that a lot of the trip fees go to a charity to help teach English and what's nice is we were shown the classroom. So to Sabina thank you for a truly unforgettable day......ps please show your mum this review so she can be extra proud of you and all the best to your son who sound like a lovely boy.

Sabina was a wonderful...

Sabina was a wonderful guide - very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. We were able to visit places we never would have discovered on our own, and we had a great introduction to Mumbai. Don't miss this tour!
