We had a great day with our guide, happy and helpful all day, took us to places if interest, a good spot for lunch, helped us sort our phones out which we hadn't had time to do on arrival,prompt and on time pickup, communication before to arrange all details was good. Nothing was too much trouble. Chatting it seems you can book him or if not available his brother will stand in for anything else you may want to plan during your stay in India. We would definitely recommend getting in touch, doing the tour of Mumbai and see where else it leads.you.

The guide at the caves was born there and actually lives there and gave a lot of interesting information and stories about Shiva, the god of the main cave. The Bollywood tour was a dream came true to see behind the scenes how the films are made. The guide and driver went out of their way to help me to join the night activity I booked, a food tour, in time, which I appreciated very much.

Mehadi was the perfect driver and tour guide. His english is perfect and his knowledge of Mumbai and history and geography of Mumbai is exceptional. I added and took away some things from the itinerary and he was great at building that in to the tour. A really excellent day. Thank you Mehadi.

We booked the Tour on short notice and had everything confirmed still for the day after - our driver and guide, Kadir Sharif, was super helpful, very good & safe driver and took us around the highlights, plus let us explore when needed. Many thanks for the great experience, Kadir & team!

Great experience and our guide Mehadi was very nice and flexible.
