Our company, the Russian Valve Association, contacted RTT to help us organize a business trip to Mumbai. We were together with the guys from September 16th to 21st. And it was just amazing! Thanks to the efforts of Krishna and his team, we all have only the most positive impressions. It is not often possible to find such a travel agency that could implement any wish in the shortest possible time and was always ready to help. We didn't worry about anything and completely trusted the experience of Krishna's team. Hotel, transfer, interpreters, meals, etc.: the travel agency coped with all the tasks perfectly. We really enjoyed working with Reality tours and travel, and we really hope that we will have another chance to use their services soon!

Fantastic street food tour with Raj. Make sure you are hungry as there is a huge amount of food. Not only was the food superb but we were completely immersed in the environment too. Be prepared for delicious food, bustling streets and information surrounding the food and its origins. Great tour… don’t miss out!

Really cool tour! Our guide was excellent - he grew up in the area himself and was able to answer all of our questions. He actually learnt English through the Reality Gives NGO, and his English was fantastic. We learnt about the many different types of industry that operate in the area, as well as the work being done by the Reality Gives NGO. We were a bit hesitant about the ethics of a 'slum tour' but this was a great experience that focussed on the resourcefulness of the people and the long-established local culture; many residents could afford to live elsewhere but choose to stay in their communities. Would highly recommend.

This tour is fascinating and educational. We learnt so much from our guide Chetan about the workings of Dhavari and daily life for the people who live there. Chetan was great company and we learnt a lot from him. We saw different parts of Dhavari, from recycling, production of clothes, fabrics, pottery and schools for the kids. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful experience on the Mumbai Street Food Tour. Our guide Raj was knowledgeable about the foods of Mumbai and taught us a lot about Indian history too. He was super friendly and spoke excellent English. The food on the tour was varied and delicious! There's just no way we'd have found all of these dishes on our own. Two things I think the tour listing doesn't mention that added to our overall enjoyment of the tour 1. You'll eat around 15 dishes! The food offering is MUCH more comprehensive than the listing describes: snacks, drinks, vegetarian and meat dishes, and dessert too. 2. The tour is organized by Reality Gives, a non-profit which trains underprivileged local people to become tour guides, so by taking the tour you're enabling a program that makes a genuine difference to the life of a Mumbai resident.

Really enjoyable tour, a nice mix of food types sampled throughout a few different areas. The travel between areas was a nice way to break up the eating! Javed was a great guide, providing really insightful information about the different areas and foods, whilst also being a really nice friendly guy.

Highly recommend this tour which is educational as well as extremely interesting. It has been created with sensitivity and care

It was an interesting experience to understand life in the slum. Our guide Leena was very informative and welcoming. She guided us safely around the residential and working areas. I absolutely recommend this tour with that company.

Done a tour with guide Varsha from Magical Mumbai Tours,she was great,grew up there and very knowledgeable about the area and its history.Everyone works there recycling plastics and making suitcases,bags and a lot more.Also a tannery and a lot of pottery.2 million people live in ( in 2 square kilometers) Well worth visiting,couldn't find a pub there though

My wife and I recently returned to the UK from our holiday in India – where we used the services of Reality Tours & Travel. And I am writing to sing their praises! This is the second time we have used Reality Tours & Travel – we had a day tour with them in Mumbai in 2023. This time we used Reality to help us book a Delhi-Rajasthan road trip. They were fantastic in every respect. In advance of our holiday, they tailored their schedule to suit ours, and ensured we had all the information we needed. My wife and I had a personalised tour and we were accompanied by a Reality Rep and driver whenever we required them over the course of 11 days. Naresh, our Reality rep, was the perfect guide, ensuring we wanted for nothing, and that all of our needs were met. He also had a series of fantastic drivers to make our journey very comfortable. If you are thinking of holidaying in India – use Reality Tours & Travel.

After learning that Reality Tours & Travel also offers multi-day trips, I got in touch with them to arrange a trip for a private extension of my upcoming business trip. Krishna and Shravan were incredibly patient in working with me in spite of duration and exact timing of my trip changing multiple times in the planning phase and kindly accommodated to my wishes regarding the customized itinerary, consisting of the Mumbai Slum & Night Tour, Ajanta & Ellora Caves, Golden Triangle & Rajasthan and Delhi sightseeing. As a first timer in India and female solo traveller, safety was paramount to me and Reality Tours and Travel kindly arranged everything from the pick-up at the airport upon arrival until the drop-off at departure. My fantastic guides Chetan (for Mumbai & Maharashtra) and Sourav (for Delhi, Golden Triangle & Rajasthan) always made sure I felt safe and comfortable. They shielded me from any unwanted attention, yet provided me with the opportunity to interact with locals. As both of them speak excellent English, I learned a lot about the places we visited as well as about India in general and daily life there. They went above and beyond to make my trip the best one I could have possibly had, were very approachable, well-organized and punctual and took me to places that locals would frequent. At local monuments that required additional designated guides, they made sure to find an experienced guide with suitable language skills. Chetan and Sourav were always available in case I needed any assistance and flexibly adjusted our agenda to give me the time I wanted to spend at each sight or to add Chai or souvenir shopping breaks. I could not have been happier with my trip and plan on booking with Reality Tours and Travels again.

A lovely experience! We were able to amend our itinerary and skip out some of the locations we had already been to which enabled us more times in the market and temple . The vegetable and flower market were very interesting ( wear good footwear and avoid the squidgy bits) So many positive smells and colours , hustle and bustle , and customers just getting on with their morning routine . So glad that we went ! The temple was beautiful, very interesting to see prayer and the privilege to be in the same room was fascinating. Would recommend asking for an itinerary before you depart so you can knock off the places you’ve been to so you can throughly enjoy the market . Our lovely guide also took us for a lovely chai , which was great to drink on the street with the locals! Our guide was fantastic, Nano , and our driver - who didn’t speak much English but far better than any other language that I can speak for sure ! Just a really great day !

This is an exceptional tour company. Their communication before the tour was swift and comprehensive - including a precise photo guide for how to find the meeting place. The guide, Shifa, was friendly and engaging, sharing her knowledge and experience of life in Dharavi with great cheer and skill. She also accompanied a few of us to a nearby station in a taxi to ensure we got on the train back into town.

An excellent, informative, enlightening tour which certainly included areas you could not otherwise easily see. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The organization does good things. Strongly recommend. And I know that these folks have though a lot more about this than I have, but my one issue is the blanket prohibition on photography. Of course one needs to be careful and respectful when photographing *anywhere* or *anyone* in public. But the tour major streets with street-side businesses not too different from elsewhere in Mumbai and the rest of India, as well as "industrial" zones (plastic recycling, leather works, pottery), where it's difficult to see how photographs of non-human subjects would cause much harm. Residential zones, of course are more sensitive, and I can understand the overriding need for privacy there. Again, I'm sure Reality Tours has thought this through in a lot more depth than I have, but maybe this will give some food for thought. Or, at minimum, they might consider enhancing the collection of photos that they provide online for their customers. That collection has a number of portraits, but very few photos of the physical environment, the industries, the architecture, etc. Anyway, again, I highly recommend this tour!

We have had an extraordinary time on our tour of Rajesthan - stopping in Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Agra and Delhi! Mr Hemraj has been a great driver/guide along the way, always on time, always open to taking us to the best spots and providing us with top hospitality along the way! He always checks in on us during the long drives and drives well even in rush hour! He’s a safe pair of hands among tuk tuk drivers, motorbikes and cows on the roads. His passion for Rajasthan's heritage, coupled with his warmth and hospitality, elevated our journey beyond our expectations. His deep-rooted knowledge and genuine love for his homeland infused each moment with authenticity and wonder, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Mr Henraj :)
