About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- M3921LAjoshuad0 contributionsGreat tour with an awesome guide!Very interesting look into set life at SJ Studios. They let you actually watch some scenes being filmed of some popular TV shows. My guide, Rahul, was very nice and really customized the experience for me!Written February 19, 2025
- 434marquisr0 contributionsYour was perfect and excitedly as describedI had an amazing time participating in this tour during my quick stay in Mumbai. Rahul was a great guide ensuring that I saw the must see attractions of Mumbai before I had to depart. The highlight was definitely being able to get BTS insight of how television series are filmed. Totally recommend this if you just to get a general idea of what Mumbai has to offer. Especially for a solo traveller.Written February 14, 2025
- 508kerens0 contributionsHighly recommend Ash our tour guide to Bollywood!Epic day tour at Bollywood studio with Ash, including a divine meal at Shalimar restaurant Mumbai. We were looked after with patient attention to details and loved every moment!Written February 7, 2025

Jaya who was very friendly and informative and waited 2 hours as our car was in traffic.

- WIStevens0 contributionsElephanta Caves with Village tourI book through Bookings.com. India Magic Tours contact me in 30min after booking and arrange everything. There good communication is a plus point. The day before the tour they contact me again. The 2 tour guides were excellent and speak good English. They caves is beautiful abd a must to visit when in Mumbai.Written January 21, 2025
- Climber6132020 contributionsHighly recommendThe tour was a lot of fun. Our guide Divya was informative and welcoming! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience touring the studio and the city.Written January 19, 2025
- deyaniran20250 contributionsBest option selected 👌I did the Bollywood studio tour plus the city tour. My tour guide, Ash (Ashraf) was amazing, every question or doubt I had was answered, whether it was about history, Mumbai, the film industry or India itself, he explained everything, and he was fun to talk to. He was even kind enough to tailor the tour according to what I had left to see and visit in Mumbai, and because of this I got to see live a commercial shooting 🎉🎉🎉. Once we reached the actual studio where the bollywood magic happens, just like they said, there were different filmings happening. I could see from up close how demanding that kind of job can be, and how easy the artists and all the behind the scenes crew can make it look on screen. Dance performance was lively and well done, photos afterwards with customs and props were fun. And lastly but not least, the sound recording in the professional studio where they have a long list of songs to choose from, they made me feel as an actual singer. I must also mention how hassle free arranging this tour was, communication maintained at all times, making sure I was all set to go. Definitely a great choice, I'm so glad I found this company. It goes without saying that I'll be recommending 'Bollywood Tours', and use their service again ;D Thank you for your kind and hard work!Written January 15, 2025
- klottoVienna_Austria0 contributionsnot worth itHonestly - not worth the money. The Studio Tour could be done in 10min since you cannot enter any of them and the Theme Park is a joke - completely run down and 3rd class performances. Almost no info in english as wellWritten January 6, 2025

- Companion7180980 contributionsSJ StudiosOur guide Jayshree, showed us around SJ Studio's. We did karaoke, watch 2 dramas being filmed and looked at many sets. It was a great morning. We even rubed shoulders and smiled with the greatest director and Bollywood stars.Written December 18, 2024
- glynnis s0 contributionsFabulous event. Loved itLawrence our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. We saw a lot of fascinating things. The live show was amazing, so was the studio. Loved the drive around tooWritten December 16, 2024
- 226suei0 contributionsAs aboveAn amazing tour …. We started with the now defunct Bollywood studio and were a little disappointed because it had been handed over to the government 6 days before because the owner Nitkin Desai suicided in Aug 23 Lawrence then organized an alternative studio visit where we engaged in Bollywood dancing as well as a beautiful lunch with a valuable description of the meal which gave us great confidence in our faith to enjoy local cuisineWritten December 12, 2024
- Shanga760 contributionsThe Guide was a little off-puttingThe tour overall was fine, with some truly memorable highlights, particularly the Bollywood Studios experience and the broader exploration of Mumbai. However, the slum component was very confronting, as expected, and gave us a lot to reflect on. Unfortunately, the experience was soured towards the end. Despite giving the guide and driver a generous tip, the guide followed us out of the car, begging for more money to buy medicine for his sick mother. While we value generosity and understand the challenges many face, we found this behaviour off-putting, especially given the emotional impact of just having toured the slums. It left an awkward impression at the conclusion of an otherwise interesting day.Written December 6, 2024

We booked the City and Bollywood tour, but skipped the lunch break. Good decision, so we had more time with our super competent guide, Ms Jayshree. She showed us all the main points in the City and told us a lot about the history and living in Mumbai.
The studio tour was also quite interesting, and we were able to watch a live shooting. In this case, a famous daily soap.
The dance show is a bit small, but actually the movies shown while the dancers change dresses were quite informative.
All in all, we were very happy with our tour and can definitely recommend Bollywood Tours.

Spent the day with Rahul.
Very pleasant young man and very knowledgeable if providing the information about the sites and history of the places we visited.
I appreciated the fact that he was not pushy as in having to up sell additional services or introducing to his contacts.
Would highly recommend him to provide you a tour of Mumbai

I booked a private tour solo, and had a very nice time. Our guide Lawrence and driver Malesh were both very friendly.
I can recommend to visit the Bollywood Studio and see some live acting while the camera is on and I loved the danceshow they make in the studio for all the visitors.
And it was very interesting to drive to the city and see all the sightseeing spots. After this tour you already have seen a lot of Mumbai, i belive.
Also the lunch at a typical restaurant was really worth the visit.

If you want to experience something very special the Bollywood tour offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the big productions. I was lucky to see how a dancing scene was filmed. On Elephanta island you should definitely not miss the marvelous stone carved Hindu gods.

I just had one free day in Mumbai and I wanted to get a flavor of the city. At very short notice, my guide Rahul Devaliya and driver picked me up for the hotel and did a wonderful job of showing me all the interesting sites, with lots of background history and intriguing stories. Rahul's English is excellent, but he was also great fun and I had a good laugh with him. Travelling as a solo woman, I felt completely comfortable and safe, and even in the middle of monsoon season they made my tour feel really special. Loved the Ghandi museum and the stories around the Tower of Silence.
