          A delightful and emotional assault on all your senses As you tour the working heart of the city
          A quite exceptional tour. Hard to put into words. No high architecture just the human beating heart of the city. Working folk keeping the city alive in all its basic needs. No automation here just centuries of manual skills and tradition. The pre-dawn start is worth it see the first fish catches of the day expertly thrown ashore and auctioned on the spot, moving through the early dawn with all the people supplying the basics of life. Heaving, bustling, hard but resilient and fundamentally happy and accommodating of each other. A delightful and emotional assault on all your senses.

          Fascinating insight into Mumbai
          We were picked up and taken around markets and sites of Mumbai early morning and leant about what goes on in the city every day before most of the city wakes up. Totally interesting and informative. Namrata was so knowledgeable and could answer all our questions and gave us an understanding of a city we would not have access to as visitors had we not done this trip. She tailored the tour to our interests and made sure we were comfortable. A fantastic experience.

          The event was well organised and the information spread by Krupesh was enlightening with all the fun along the way. I would strongly recommend others.

          Great way to start your trip in Mumbai
          Our guide Heer was excellent. The weather was perfect as it was not too hot and it did not rain as well. Offering a local's perspective on the sites in old Mumbai, it is a wonderful way to kick off our time in Mumbai.

          Street food tour with Namrata - a must!
          An absolute item to check off your bucket list when in Mumbai! Our guide Namrata was outstanding with her selection of street food; she understood our tolerance for spice and provided great knowledge, insight and history about the various dishes we tried. An easy five stars…

          The real heartbeat of Mumbai
          Adi guides you through the markets of Mumbai, introducing you to local people while all your senses are overwhelmed with colours, sounds, spices and the genuine passion he has for the place and people. This is the most authentic and unique tour I’ve ever been on - recommend it to all! Thanks so much Adi, lasting memories from feeling the real heart beat of Mumbai!

          Wonderful experience
          It’s a must do walk if you are visiting Mumbai for a short time. It has all the fun flavours of the city including a short train ride. Very well planned and hosted by our our guide, Mr Meherban.

          Meharban, our guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable and active. We took a private tour with him and didn’t get bored for even a minute. Highly recommended if you wish to know history of Mumbai.

          I did a trip with Krupesh and I highly recommend him! He even changed the schedule last minute for my preference and made it more comfortable. After my trip with him, I know many fun facts about Mumbai and fully experienced the real jewel of Mumbai.

          A fun, educational, and captivating look into Mumbai
          My family and I had an absolute blast on our day tour of Mumbai highlights with No Footprints. Our guide Heer was extremely knowledgeable, full of life, kind, and accommodating. Highly recommend Heer as a tour guide as we all learned a lot. We had a good mix of walking and driving and were able to see many sights (including Gateway to India and Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus) and also partake in some fun activities like drinking sugarcane juice and doing a Bollywood workshop. We even ended up extending our tour by a few more hours because we were having so much fun! 10/10 experience. We all love Mumbai now.

        Beautiful and quaint Worli village made super interesting by No Footprints. Its a side to Mumbai one doesnt see usually. Loved the fact that they informed about sustainable fishing being need of the hour and how unplanned development in the city can affect life of indigenous people.

        Highly recommend!

        This tour by Adi, Rahul and Harsh (No Footprints ) was amazing. I learnt so much about the community of which I am a part, and a community that is crucial to my city's livelihood. Adi was an energetic tour guide and clearly knew the place and locals well. The whole experience was very inclusive, welcoming and warm, and the best part is that they have clearly done their research. All statements came from facts backed either by dates and books, or by the locals themselves. Different beliefs and practices are respected. I had a blast. Looking forward to more.

        The excitement for this walk had kicked in a day before and now I can say that it was completely justified and worth it. Our tour guide, Aditya, made sure that no piece of history was left and gave us various other references which were linked to the Worli village. Due to this, after saying goodbye to everyone, I wasn’t only left with wonderful memories, but I had also acquired much more knowledge about my own city along with some fun facts too.
        The Worli Village tour was the perfect way to start a Sunday as I was able to see Bombay with an entire new perspective. The Worli Village is a beautiful place to visit to familiarise yourself with the city’s history and the best way to do this is with No Footprints. I can’t wait to go on many more adventures with them in the future!

        My first experience with NFP and what a great way to start! We had a lovely tour of Koliwada village in the heart of Mumbai at worli. Pooja was absolutely brilliant and very soon it felt like just hanging out with an old friend. She took us through a maze of the village and explained all the historical significances, ending the tour at the fabulous view of the sea and the sea link. Cannot recommend this enough!

        I found out a ton of things about Worli Koliwada that I for sure wouldn't have discovered otherwise. The goddess and her unique pellet-fortune telling, the mosque and the annual possession were some of the ones that stuck! The guys know their stuff and it's a fun way to go deep into a spot you have for the most part overlooked if you live in Bombay. A hard recommend!

        Joined a guided walk through Mumbai's Worli Koliwada (fishing village) with the charming Nasreen on the occasion of Narali Poornima. This is a major festival for the Kolis, the region’s traditional fishing community and also the original inhabitants of the collection of islands which make up the great city of Bombay or Mumbai. It wasn't my first time in the village but Nasreen had many fascinating stories that I had not heard before, and had laid on a very special musical performance by Chintamani, the famous Koli rocker/pop star and YouTube sensation. Nasreen also walked us through some of the village's side lanes and alleys which I would never have been able to navigate without help. All in all, a very pleasant afternoon with some new stories, a new angle on the place, and lots of great pictures, especially of the festivities.

        Had heard about the Worli fishing village finally got to see it in the company an experienced guide Aditya Pai of Nofootprints. Aditya’s knowledge about the place is unbelievable especially how he know his way around the labyrinth of lanes. Story about the taking God was really great. The scene from Worli fort was stupendous and especially the singing act put up by Mr Chintamani Shivdekar the YouTube Sensation was the icing on the cake. Hurrah to Nofootprints 👍

        The colours of India never cease to amaze me. The Worli village is no exception. It is located on a small peninsula almost under the bridge connecting the Bandra i(airport area) to the other sections of Mumbai and is a village which has been there for many centuries. Based around the fishing life with the oldest temple site more than 6 centuries, generations of families have gone out in small boats to catch fish. Meanwhile the other aspects of life such as the home, food preparation, children playing soccer and cricket can be seen. A Portuguese fort was built there which became taken over by the British. It is an easy climb and gives the opportunity for photos of contrasting views of ‘old traditional’ and modern Mumbai in the one scene. Some streets are narrow (but these could be avoided if one doesn’t like narrow streets) and my guide Aman skilfully navigated a path which meant I was able to see temples, churches, a mosque and the outside of colourful houses (painted brightly in all colours) as we reached the fort and then into the jetty area to se the boats. I learned about the fishing techniques and saw fishermen repairing their boats and nets. The people were welcoming and we both smiled and said ‘hello.” I felt safe. The main street had a variety of small shops and enabled one to see the people buying their food, vegetables and other daily needs.

        This was added to our Mumbai itinerary a few week before we left the UK for our
        Nepal/India trip. But what a superb experience
        We were met at our hotel by Krapesh (KP) and Aman at 9.30 and delivered back at
        around 1pm.
        The village is 800 years old and inhabited by the Koli people.The women are in charge.
        KP and Aman were excellent telling us about the culture and history of the village.
        The inhabitants were friendly and happy in their self contained community where
        every service is available.
        Do not miss this No Footprint tour. KP and Aman were just great.

        I have lived in the area during my childhood but I never knew so much about the area that I live in after doing one of their tours. After many years of living outside the country to get back and know so much about the place that i spent my childhood in feels like a breath of fresh air. Harsh was our guide and we got some deep in depth walk through on so many aspects of life in the Worli Village - culture, history, traditions, how the many fabrics of religion are intertwined in this small community and finally - food! We also got to see a live demo of how prawn curry is made which is fabulous
