This is by far the best the best tour I've been to throughout India. I really got to see and get a taste of Mumbai. My guide was very knowledgeable and was able to give me in-depth information, spoke English very well. My only regret is that I didn't get to book more tours with them.

Hitesh is a great guide and the tour was interesting on the train and bus but then sadly included some trips by share taxi as well. I know that a bus would probably take too long in the traffic but would be a good addition.

Driver Sunil and the guide were very cooperative and knowledgeable about the places we had visited... extremely polite and friendly too

That was really nice and unfortunately I had to travel alone, but I felt safe and in good hands.

It was interesting and you can see a lot on one day!
