- Lyon196500The 3 D tour of MumbaiExcellent tour - our guide Maze had awesome local knowledge and gave us a new perspective of life in the slums Well worth going - - so interesting
- 398lisal39800Informative , friendly and safePerfect for what we were after to get an oversight of Mumbai. Nano was fabulous . Friendly and informative. Took us to great sights . Really flexible, professional. Have us restaurant recommendations . Driver also great
- Russell C00Mumbai tour in 6 hoursExpert local guide took me to places you would never be able to access without. Saw sights that will stay with me for a lifetime, very highly recommended. Booked with less than 24 hours notice and the whole process worked seamlessly. The duration of the tour varies massively due to the traffic conditions in Mumbai. Recommend going on a Sunday as it’s the quietest day of the week.
- Maps1607028020300Worth every pennyMy tour was super fun. The driver was at my hotel (which was out of the city limit so I had to pay a little extra for my pickup) 30 before the departure time. His car was clean and really made me feel comfortable which was important to me because I am solo female traveler. We had to wait one hour at the meet up point (but the driver was nice enough to show me some local destinations), for the remaining members of the group but that wasn’t the companies fault, even though I felt I could have gone alone since mine was a private tour. But I am glad I got to meet the rest of the tour and we even exchanged contacts to keep in touch. The host on elephant island Dave was super polite and answered all my questions and told me so much about the island and Hindu religion . He also took his time to share a lot about their community. He is also a great photographer and took his time to take pictures and they were all great. The host for my Mumbai tour Maze was also a great conversationalist . He answers all my questions and told me so much about the city. He indulged my request to see the Ambani house. I also got at additional tour guide at the laundry factor, and he was a local who knew a lot about the area. All in all I would definitely recommend for solo traveler and groups.
- KarenAdrianS00Interesting and worthwhile visit!We met our initial guide easily and were directed onto the boat. The outgoing boat trip took about an hour. We sat on the top for some great views. We were met by our guide for the caves who took us on the mini train. Be aware that there are still around 120 steps but our guide checked several times if we needed to stop. The guide was very knowledgeable about the caves and the religious significance of the sculptures but less so about the history of the caves themselves. There are a lot of souvenir stalls and also restaurants but we needed to get back for our return boat so did not stop to look at these. On the return boat trip they wanted to charge us extra to sit on top! We actually found that sitting on the bottom was better due to less sun and a more refreshing breeze.
- LucySlater00Mumbai guided city tourI’ve just completed a city tour with Surrendra who was my driver guide. It has been incredible and Surrendra kept me informed so I knew exactly what I was looking at. An amazing city with so much to see and this was the ideal way to see so much in a short space of time.
- Morgan R00Amazing!Our guide Krupesh was excellent, native to the island and therefore very knowledgable about the caves themselves and the community that live there. Booked a group tour but ended up being just us which was lovely. Very punctual with meeting point time and assisted us with getting the boat across, giving us the option of the land train or walking route from the boat drop off. So you wouldn’t have to walk too much if you didn’t want to. Only criticism would be that food was not included but due to the timings of the tour being 10:30-14:30 and very hot temperature, we didn’t feel we needed food. Overall amazing tour and would recommend. Krupesh was brilliant!
- robertovY831EJ00Superb SightseeingGreat tour to get a glimpse of the main touristic points of the city. The Guide (Mr Pawan) was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend taking this 100%
- Cara B00Fantastic insight into another MumbaiWe loved this look at the real side of Mumbai. Ganesh was a fantastic guide with a cheeky sense of humour! Loads of interesting facts and very respectful of the communities that he showed us. I’d definitely recommend this fascinating tour to anyone. (My husband was worried he might have to walk ‘too far’ but the use of local buses and trains meant that wasn’t the case). Thanks Ganesh!
- T7794UYmichaell00Highly polished and well-run tour operatorAs a crewmember with a large international airline, I'm fortunate to see quite a bit of the world on my company's nickel. With a day layover in Mumbai there was just time for a quick whirlwind tour of the city. I booked the tour just two hours before and somehow a guide and driver was expertly arranged! I was expecting the standard tick-the-box guided tour but was delighted by the service given by our guide Mr. Ganesh who was entertaining, well informed and spoke perfect English. At the same time, our driver, Mr. Mujib expertly navigated the infamously chaotic city traffic. Our short 6 hour tour was expertly managed and we never felt rushed or unable to enjoy the scene!
- 68sudhas00goodThe trip was good , came to know so much about Dharavi & Dhobhi ghat. I was waiting for the photographs as there was one photographer in our group apart fromour guide
- Skisilverstar00Mumbai Private TourExcellent private tour seeing all that Mumbai has to offer. Ahad was very knowledgeable and friendly and we would highly recommend. Thank you
- A1971RDmatthewb00Mumbai Dhobi Ghat and Dharavi tourGuide was really informative and as he lived in the slums he was the perfect person to give a true insight to life in this part of Mumbai. Great tour finishing with chai after lots of walking.
- zinbadrm00Superb!We had a private programme with Hareshbasbour guide. He met us at the meeting points on time and accompany along the boat through the caves. He explained and told us many stories about the cave and Hindu believe regards Shiva. It was very interesting and enjoyable through the programme.
- mahaviro00Beautiful Tour of Mumbai, by Charming PeopleMany thanks to my tour guide and driver for showing me the beautiful sights of Mumbai, and what the city has to offer! No rush, and polite people who helped me understand the history and culture of the city. Highly recommend taking this tour for people who are first timers to the city.

I took the day tour of all the local highlights with Rameez as the guide and Ayyappan as the driver. This was a great team who worked well together. Rameez was extremely knowledgeable about all of the sites and took some great photos of me as I was traveling alone that day. He also took me to a great place for some street food when I told him I was hungry. Ayyappan was a wonderful driver who navigated the crazy streets of Mumbai with ease. If I’m ever back in Mumbai and take another tour, I will definitely request these two .

A group of 18 adults took the 1 day tour with Amaze Tours thru Viator. We booked this tour prior to our Dubai/India cruise. Our tour guide Ahad was friendly; knowledgeable and responsible. The tour started from the cruise terminal at 9am to 4pm in the afternoon.
it was a full day itinerary, Ahad took us to the largest train station; Marine Road ; the richest/wealthy area to the largest Open Laundry; the poorest area. Amazing experience.

If you have only time for one tour, this is it. It brings you to all the sights and sounds... and smell... of Mumbai. Our guide, Alam, was fantastic. Given that it was a Sunday and not having to deal with the traffic that plagues Mumbai during the weekday, we were brought to many more places that was on the original itinerary. We were even brought to a smaller dhoby ghat where we got to take photos with one of the dhobies. This is the trip that you need to do when in Mumbai.

Our tour guide Alan is experienced tour guide who explained well every spot and very passionate. Just a pity that we can’t watch the Dabawalu because of the ceremony.

We were in Mumbai for 2 days from a cruise. The information provided before arrival was very good. We were met by our guide Danesh. He was excellent and very informative. Our group of 4 in a taxi did everything and more provided by the cruise. In fact the company provided guides for the cruise tour . Our experience was very personal, we could ask as many questions as we wanted. Please do not hesitate in using this company .

We went on this tour from our hostel , with an excellent guide called Dinesh, we went to a lovely cathedral , the famous Victoria Train station , the pick up point where the 'lunch box ' system operates,( what a brilliant idea) and the famous Dharavi slum, and saw the plastic factory ,the place where the leather is treated and dyed and the residential area where we went to a house and has a delious lunch. All this was dine using public transport.
We want to thank Dinesh again for giving us so much information on these places and making sure everyone got on the trains and buses he certainly knows his stuff and is professional but very friendly and a wonderful person too. It's a well recommended tour as the slum is full of tiny walkways. We finally ended our tour to the biggest out door laundry and once again Dinesh was full of information about it ,very interesting to see.
