City tour with Slum tour. Excellent, our guide for the Slums was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Constantly making sure we hadn’t lost anyone in our group. Our driver for the tour was very good manouvering through horrendous traffic taking us to the various stops. Would specially recommend the Mahatma Ghandi museum, the laundry and Gateway to India. Would highly recommend this tour.

Without doubt it was a really enjoyable tour. The places we visited were very interesting and we learned a lot from the commentary. So thank you Shruti for being a brilliant guide and Hassan for driving us around safely. Highly recommend the whole experience.

Head office communications need to improve

Ian_T, Apr 2026
It’s a good tour, the guides and driver are excellent. I do think it’s over priced and the communications or lack of from head office leave a lot to be desired.

Great tour for a full view of the city highlights

Isabel_F, Apr 2026
Very good tour to see the highlights of the city. The tour guide Neha was very knowledgeable of the sites and the history behind them. I learnt quite a bit! Wasim the driver was amazing navigating the traffic and finding parking next to the sites

Shruti (guide) was...

Eilish_H, Apr 2026
Shruti (guide) was excellent - knowledgable, warm, engaging. Took us to all the major sites and helped us understand more about this beautiful city. Our driver Dildar was great too - punctual, always safely dropping us off and picking us up.

Nice tour to see some Mumbai sites

Holly_H, Apr 2026
I really enjoyed my tour with guide Shivam and driver Hasan. We saw lots of great places like the Hanging Garden, Gandhi’s house, and the pet market in Crawford Market! The car was nice and I enjoyed my time with them :)

A truly fabulous, insightful overview of Mumbai's key sights

Stephen_C, Mar 2026
The tour provided a comprehensive overview of Mumbai's most iconic sights, with exceptionally clear, well-informed explanations from the guide (Shalmali) and plenty of time for photos. I could not fault the tour in any way; it was a truly fabulous, insightful experience.

Interesting tour with knowledge guide and good driver

Steve_H, Mar 2026
Driver and guide were very nice and helpful. Neha, our guide was very knowledgeable about the city and happy to accommodate specific requests. As a suggestion, she could tell us more during the long drives about what's around us to make use of that time. Smile, our driver did a good job and was very considerate. The tour had a good pacing and we had ample time take everything in.

Basic, and way overpriced!!!

Patrick_M, Mar 2026
I went on this tour with my partner, and I am writing this review on our way back to our hotel. The operational part of the tour is pretty basic and to the point. It visits several of the major sights as promised. My issue with this tour is that it is over-priced for the amenities provided. Speaking as an Indian who is familiar with the prices in india, the price of 95usd for two people + 20usd for pick-up and drop off from North Mumbai is way above the market price for a sedan car. You would be better off booking a car on uber and paying an hourly rate. The total rate for a luxury for 5hrs is only 2,600 rupees....whereas this tour ended costing 12,000rupees for 5 hours in a compact sedan. SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, we truly appreciate it. We completely understand your perspective regarding pricing, especially being familiar with local costs. However, we would like to clarify that our tours are quite different from simply hiring a car through apps like Uber. Our experience includes a professional English speaking tour guide (separate from the driver), who provides in-depth insights, storytelling, and local knowledge at every stop, something a point-to-point driver cannot offer. In addition, the tour cost also covers tolls, parking fees at all locations, coordination, planning, and a structured itinerary, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience throughout. Safety, reliability, and consistency are also key aspects we focus on. With us, you have a vetted driver and guide team, guaranteed pickup/drop, and a well organised day that is especially important for travellers who may not be familiar with the city. That said, we truly value your feedback and will continue working to ensure our guests feel the experience justifies the value. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope you still had a memorable time exploring Mumbai with us. 😊

Amazing day tour of mumbai

chris_g, Mar 2026
Amazing tour. Our tour guide Sahil was informative, fun, extremely knowledgable and we learned so much. We only had one day to see the city and the tour packed in all the important sites. Thoroughly enjoyed it and very good value for money.

Wonderful day on Mumbai

CanyonB_D, Mar 2026
I loved the day. My guide Gautam was awesome. Very nice and gave good information on the places we visited. I worked with the tour operator to add lunch at Leopold Cafe and then. the Slum Tour afterwards. Overall I saw a great amount of the city for one day. I would recommend to everyone!

Excellent overview of Mumbai and India

Marlene_M, Mar 2026
Great for first time visitors to India. You get an introduction to the city, culture and country. Our guide, Shruti, was excellent - would request for her again on our next tour.

Excellent tour

Hirva_T, Feb 2026
Our guide and driver were both very lovely and gave us satisfactory information about the sites we visited. Very good experience. Would come again.

Brilliant tour of Mumbai with excellent guide.

Helen_C, Feb 2026
This was the perfect tour for us as you could choose what was included. Neha and Annad were fantastic. So friendly, caring & informative. Air conditioned car that waited while u got out and took photos.

4 hour tour of Mumbai

Krishma_J, Feb 2026
Our tour guide Aryan was excellent. We were three generations of a family and there was consideration made of this. We enjoyed this tour very much and would highly recommend it.

Memorable Mumbai experience

Katie_A, Feb 2026
The whole day was fantastic. Our personal guide around Mumbai's major sights was extremely knowledgeable and was able to tell us all sorts of interesting things. Then we were handed on to the extraordinary Pooja who took us on a revealing and truly inspirational tour of the ghetto where she lived. I'd strongly recommend both parts of the day, both the usual must-see tourist experiences and learning about how many of the city's people live and work. It's a fabulous pairing and will live forever in your memory.

Did not get to fully...

Cameron_M, Feb 2026
Did not get to fully enjoy this tour because the operator delayed pickup by 4 hours and the tour went to nearly 9p, and I was very tired. The slum tour with Sneha was great.

Magical Mumbai

Kay_b, Feb 2026
A first class experience. Highly recommended. Great driver who takes you to points of interest where you are met by two guides who are very informative and look after you. Thoroughly enjoyed the time spent.

Highly recommended

Great half day city tour in Mumbai

Benjamin_C, Feb 2026
Wonderful half day city tour of Mumbai. Very informative guide and a safe driver. Sam was very knowledgeable and I learnt so much about he city in such a short space of time. The tour was a great pace and visited all the main places. Wasim the driver was a great driver and very safe.

Worth it

Tara_G, Feb 2026
Sam (Atik) and Sultan hosted our tour. It was a perfect few hours seeing some sights of Mumbai. Hotel pickup was smooth, conversation flowed and we felt comfortable at all times.

Awesome tour

Samantha, Feb 2026
We had an awesome experience with our tour guide, Ms Shel. Her vast knowledge of Mumbai’s history was truly impressive, and my family enjoyed every moment

Very good overview of...

ssuchotliff, Jan 2026
Very good overview of Mumbai in 4 hours. Be prepared to do some serious walking even though most of the traveling was by private car. Our guide Sahil was very informative, and even got us to take a couple of swings with a cricket bat at the park. He never tired of taking our picture in front of scenic backgrounds. Our driver was very good at navigating the craziness of driving in India.

City and Slum trip

liz, Jan 2026
Great day out. Started with the slum tour at Dharavi with Sneha who lives there. Incredible opportunity to see the businesses run inside. Sneha excellent English and insight. Then we did a city tour including a train ride with Gautam. The youngest tour guide in Mumbai!! Very entertaining and enthusiastic with great knowledge of the city. Highly recommend

Exceptional private tour...

John_B, Jan 2026
Exceptional private tour from start to finish. Atik was prompt to our hotel even though we were staying quite far north in the airport region (Leela hotel). Wasim skillfully managed the chaotic traffic saving us a lot of time and the transport was air conditioned which was welcome given the heat of the day. We liked Atik's depth of knowledge and enthusiasm for Mumbai. He was really helpful in finding us the best Vada Pav (chickpea burger street food) and taking us into the famous Taj hotel next to the gateway of India so we could have a coffee.

Excellent tour with great guide

Eunice_S, Jan 2026
Excellent tour with Atik. Covered all the main sites and gave us some great information about Mumbai. It was just the right amount of time for the whole tour and we spent enough time at each attraction without being rushed.

Guided tour of South Mumbai

Sudhakar_P, Jan 2026
It’s a fabulous - the only - way of seeing a city as spread out as Mumbai in a day. Although we were in South Mumbai, I wish we could have spent a bit more time at each stop. But our guide did take us to an upscale dress shop as well, which pleased my wife very much

Balanced tour of Mumbai

Aaron_S, Jan 2026
Good mix of sights. Shruti was a great guide and ensured we saw everything we wanted. Would recommend.

South Bombay tour

laszlo_g, Jan 2026
Ajit is a top notch tour guide, enjoyed every bits of the tour, went to all main attractions of South Bombay.

Average city tour but Dharavi is highly recommended

Ring_T, Jan 2026
The city tour was below expectation as our young tour guide couldn’t really give much information about the places on the itinerary. Perhaps a language barrier as he doesn’t speak fluent English so there was some struggle there. The slum tour in Dharavi was eye opening thanks to our local guide Varsha. Highly recommended. Overall the team kept things punctual which is good. Make sure you contact the operator and confirm the details again after booking.

It was very misleading and stressful to book as after paying they didn’t want to pick me from the agreed spot.

Farah_R, Jan 2026
It was very deceptive, they agreed ( on ticket and email) to pick me up from an agreed spot near me but after I paid , refused flat and asked me to join from Gateway of India ( quite far away). They finally agreed to pick me up closer after a lot of persuasion and paying extra again. I did like the city very much but not the tour company trying to cut corners.
