    We had a good and interesting tour with Rahul. He was very helpful and we learned a lot from culture and city life regardless of the sights. That made this tour with Rahul an exciting experience, which we will remember for a long time. Pick-up on time and reliably, flexible tour, uncomplicated, comfortable vehicle with air-condition and good driver.

    Amazing Tour!

    From start to finish this tour was amazing. Our driver and our guide, Sunil, collected us from the green gate of the cruise terminal. Sunil was very friendly, informative and checked whether there were any specific places we wanted to visit. He also checked our preference for food. We managed to fit in stops at the Gateway to India, Victoria terminus, the Oval Maidan cricket grounds, the Hanging Gardens, Dhobi Ghat outdoor laundry, Gandhi museum and a full tour of the Dharavi Slum, as well as a quick souvenir stop. Our ship changed docking times and this was accommodated by the company/guide. Would highly recommend.

    Great tour!

    I only had 10 hours in Mumbai between flights. Since I didn't want to spend this at the airport, I booked the tour and it was really worth the money. I was picked up directly from the airport and brought back there. My friendly guide Premsagar Sahani made the day interesting without rushing from one sight to the next. For me, the slums were the most impressive experience of the day.
