- pintokr0 contributionsHighly recommend Namaste tours for Mumbai sightseeing experienceHighly recommend Namaste Tours for an awesome, personalized, comfortable and educational experience of Mumbai city tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the day which began with morning pickup from our hotel. Sid was open to adding a little experience of eating Bun masca at a local cafe as well as the famous Badshah falooda at Crawford market. He also helped us with some local shopping at Crawford market. Overall a very good experience and we will definitely repeat for another different tour at our next visit to Mumbai.Written January 6, 2025
- 880tanjae0 contributionsFirst time Mumbai, private tour☺️As we had only a limited time for Mumbai I asked if it would be possible to see only few sights. We booked a private tour and met our guide at Dhobi Gat. The transport to the city and back to the hotel was organized by Namaste Tours as well. The booking via What’s App was pretty convenient and very easy. Our tour guide Mr. Sunil was absolutely genius:-) He told us a lot about Mumbai and also took us to historic town of Mumbai, we walked around and even for chai tea we had some time. I really would recommend booking with Namaste Tours! We were very happy with the private tour. Time was enough to get an first overview of this bustling city☺️ Thank you so much to having us as your guests☺️Written December 10, 2024
- mariajos_f3160 contributionsGreat and enriching expirienceExcellent guide with a very profund knowledge of the city, its monuments and the history of each space visited. He was very friendly and enriching. Thank youWritten November 28, 2024
- Lesthorn0 contributionsPrivate Temple Tour.Sid was our guide for the day and took us on a tour of the temples of Mumbai. He is a very knowledgeable guide and explained the different religions clearly and in a way we found easy to understand . We found Sid to be a really friendly and a pleasure to be with. We throughly enjoyed our day and it's a shame we were not in Mumbai long enough to book another trip. I would definitely recommend Namaste tours for anyone visiting Mumbai.Written July 21, 2024
- wendyrthomson0 contributionsPrivate tour of Mumbai Dhavani Slums and pottery makingI cannot recommend this tour company enough . Sid was an amazing guide who tailored the tour exactly to our needs . It was just myself and my 10 year old daughter , Sid took us to the slum areas where we experienced such a warm welcome , we were able to make our own pots in the pottery district and paint them and a lovely local lady put henna on our hands and welcomed us in to her home . Private , professional , attentive knowledgeable and went a cut above . FabulousWritten May 28, 2024
- S3184JElucas0 contributionsTour of MumbaiVisiting Mumbai with Siddhi was a great experience. He did not just follow a set list but adapted it to my interests and to the curiosities that came up during the tour. Siddhi is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Unlike other experiences I have had with other guides, Siddhi never took advantage of the situation to try to get me to shop with some friends. Highly recommended.Written April 27, 2024
- dxbriggs0 contributionsEnjoying Mumbai with our great guide, SidWe had been to Mumbai before and done most of the regular stuff so it was great that Sid managed to find new things to do. His knowledge of Indian history and culture is amazing and he conveys it in a friendly, natural manner. We loved seeing the tiffin box distribution at Churchgate and travelling on the local train. Bhel puri and kulfi at Chowpatty was a lovely way to end the tour. Thanks very much, Sid.Written January 11, 2024
- trueoath0 contributionsShreya tour escort for elephanta cavesShreya was fantastic, she was on time and escorted us through the crowds to get to the elephanta caves tour. I would highly recommend having a local guide who knows the language so you do not get ripped of and who can navigate the crazy streets of mumbai. Thank you Shreya it was an absolute pleasure to meet you.Written December 29, 2023
- Seaside326208513670 contributionsInsider Trip with SidWe had a wonderful day with Sid as our guide - he was attentive and created a very much customised day trip based on our needs and previous trips - lots of ' insider ' insights and focus and was super knowledgeable on the history and area. We really enjoyed the day and we where entirely in his hands - it's was varied and very multidimensional from slums to markets to religious sites to garden to laundry sites and monuments - we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend this product snd wonderful host for any first timers or even seasoned travellers Such as ourselves - well done !Written December 22, 2023
- Nils-travellife0 contributionsMust do in Mumbai!It was a really great tour with a very nice guide (Sid) who showed us not only all the tourist attractions but also a deeper insight in the life of Mumbai! He impressed us with a lot of interesting information and facts! It was really breathtaking to see the “organized chaos“ and the culture of this incredible city! Sid was very polite, helpful, patient and well informed! Would do it again a 100%Written August 6, 2023
- charlottejohnson2130 contributionsIncredible Street Food TourWe were recommended this tour company by another local tour guide we had earlier in our trip and we could not have been more impressed. Every dish we tried was delicious and Siddhi, our tour guide, was great. He was full of useful information and answered all of our questions even about things not related to food and most importantly he was funny so we had a laugh. I would highly recommend using Siddhi as your guide to try different dishes whilst in Mumbai and we even got to go on the train for one of the stops so it was a real experience. 10/10!Written June 20, 2023
- Climber4283370 contributionsBollywood tour and Dharavi tourWe did the Bollywood tour first and because Siddhi was such a good guide we did the Dharavi tour the following day. Both tours were very informative and gave a real insight into Bollywood and what Dharavi is really like not just what we see in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. Siddhi is a very friendly and informative guide who really knows his stuff. I would thoroughly recommend both tours.Written April 6, 2023
- JP M0 contributionsShort Custom Mumbai Tour after Pune pickupWe had little time, just an afternoon for a quick visit to Mumbai before flying home, and Siddhi and his excellent driver made sure that we did get a very good impression of the city. Clearly they know all about the area and must-see places to visit, while listening well to the type of things we want to see. They picked the 3 of us up in Pune, brought us safely to the City and showed us some of the nice places incl gateway to India, train station, the Market (lunch-place), viewpoint at hanging garden. Great job and highly recommendedWritten March 9, 2023

During my first visit to Mumbai, I was initially unsure about navigating this bustling megacity. Mumbai's vastness requires careful selection of sights to explore in a single day. However, my experience was immensely enhanced by my guide, Divya, from Namaste Tours. Divya is an exemplary guide, embodying all the ideal traits: deep knowledge of Mumbai's diverse districts including Dharavi, and the lesser-known yet fascinating areas of the city. Our visit to Victoria Terminus and other landmarks was unforgettable, largely thanks to Divya's engaging personality. She radiates warmth with her constant smile, and her patience, friendliness, and sincerity made my visit through Mumbai genuinely enjoyable. I look forward to requesting Divya's guidance on my next trip to Mumbai, confident in the exceptional service provided by Namaste Tours for a multi-faceted exploration of this vibrant city.

Siddhi Gunjal is a personable, informative guide who speaks good English and has an extensive knowledge of Mumbai and its history. He conducts a relaxed, informative tour and takes time for interactions with residents and other tourists along the way. He offers a range of tours. I highly recommend him for his Dharavi Tour. I suggest you make sure he takes you to sample the delicious street food in the markets at the end of the tour.

Amazing city tour I would really recommend everyone coming to Mumbai to do.
It gives such a great overview of the city. Sid explained everything very well and gave a lot a lot of background information. You could tell that he really knows the city inside out.

A comprehensive tour of the main points of Mumbai, and a fascinating walk through the commercial and residential areas of Dharavi. Siddhi, my guide, was very knowledgeable on his subject. Would certainly use Namesti tours again and recommend.

I had an amazing full-day tour with Namaste, guided by the wonderful Siddhi. Exploring Dharavi, Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat, and Crawford Market was both eye-opening and enriching. Siddhi’s knowledge and warmth made the experience unforgettable, offering deep insights into Mumbai’s culture and history.
The visit to Dharavi was especially inspiring, showcasing the vibrant community and its resilience. At Dhobi Ghat and Crawford Market, Siddhi’s storytelling brought these iconic spots to life.
The tour was seamless, respectful, and highly engaging. I’d highly recommend Namaste and Siddhi to anyone visiting Mumbai!

It was an outstanding day tour in Mumbai! We saw so many interesting and beautiful things such as the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (an UNESCO world heritage) the Taj Mahal Palace, the Dhobi Ghat one of the worlds biggest open air laundry and made a Dharavi Slum tour which was so touching. The tour guide Siddha’s interest for history and his passion for Mumbai made the day excellent. Thank you Sid, great job! This day will stick with all of us for so long.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the day very enjoyable. He picked us up at the hotel and dropped us at the airport. Even though we only had one day, we saw several highlights of Mumbai, including the most expensive houses and a very interesting tour of the slums. We also saw the gateway arch, the Taj hotel, the outdoor laundry, Ghandi's house, and the lunchbox distribution. We recommend this tour.
