Brenda_S, Jul 2018

This half-day tour was a good way of seeing Mumbai in the limited time that we had available. We were fortunate in having a very knowledgeable guide. We felt the highlight was seeing Dhobi Ghat, but we also enjoyed seeing places associated with Ghandi and the British Raj. We were also taken to a spice market where we were able to purchase some of the spices which the locals use in their cooking. We drove past the famous Mumbai slums - it would have been nice to spend a little time there.

RANEE_P, Jan 2017

Saw most attractions through the car window. Guide was not properly informed regarding the tour. She was giving us a day tour rather than the half-day tour some maybe happy about this. Malabar Hill - Walk through a park with the tour guide. View of Mumbai hazy. Dhobi Ghat - Car stops near Dhobi Ghat. We are shown the facilities from the street. Mani Bhavan - Guide left us at the entrance of the museum. We walked through the venue ourselves. Not really a guided tour. All three activities can be done independently, tour not required.

Interesting tour of South Mumbai...

Sadhana C, Jan 2015

Interesting tour of South Mumbai. Good booking experience ....absolutely hassle free. The problems started when I had to deal with India office where I had to do a lot of follow up for pickup etc. (Still better than some some of the local companies I must say) The guide (Murli) spoke very loudly, did not have any interesting information ( and at times it was incorrect) and argued every time whenever any of us had a different view point or information. He would get very loud to support his point of view and his entire focus was on trying to impress my Jamaican brother-in-law with his knowledge of cricket !! In the process he missed pointing out quite a few landmarks such as Rajabai clock tower which is modelled on Big Ben, etc. The driver/coordinator (Sandeep) was more polite and better informed than the guide.

Ryan, Nov 2014

Very good look at Mumbai, which is so huge you could never see all of it... Really enjoyed my driver and guide, safe, knowledgeable, good communication skills and a real ability to talk about and show what I was interested in during the tour.

Justin_D, Mar 2014

Our tour guide was great...very knowledgeable and funny. Since we booked two tours, the company did decide (without consulting us) to changed our schedule around, which was a little frustrating as it left us with a few hours to kill where we weren't able to go out and do anything due to evening plans (since we didn't find out until the day of). They thought it was in the best interest of the flow of the two tours, and I would have been a lot more open to it if they would have informed us ahead of time. It made me keep questioning if we really were getting the full tours our if we lost 2 hours of the experience somewhere. Nice people, though.

Quit a good exploration of Mumbai...

Peter F, Jan 2013

Quit a good exploration of Mumbai, with interesting views of Malalbar Hill, Mani Bhavan and Dobi Ghat.
