      Amazing Guide and visit
      Super recommend going to the Elephanta Caves, this is one of the best experiences I had in India. Starting with the ferry I loved the tranquil voyage and views. Then hiring a tour was essential! Not only did I understand more of the history but it made the trip memorable! Thank you Pankaj for being one of the best tour guides I have had! You were funny, clever and gave us all the best tips!

      Great guide for one of Mumbai's most interesting attractions
      We took this guide for our group of 5 friends. He was extremely prepared on the sculptures and the history of the caves. He was able to make us understand Hinduism and appreciate the temple. He was by far the best guide we had in our India trip!

      Incredible Day Tour of Mumbai!!!
      This tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Yash, was so knowledgeable, fun and understanding. I would take any tour with him. He regaled us with history and answered all our questions about the area. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see so much of Mumbai in one day.

      Great choice to see Mumbai!
      Yash was an amazing tour guide! He took us to many of Mumbai's top spots and knew a lot about different topics, both locally and globally. He was fun to chat with and always made sure to meet our requests, even agreeing to partipate in some of our silly antics. I particularly loved the quick lesson on cricket he gave us. I would definitely suggest taking a tour with him to any friends or family who plan to visit Mumbai in the future!

      Interesting Slum Tour
      I recently had the opportunity to go on a slum tour, and it was an incredibly enlightening and memorable experience. My guide, Ruqaiyya, was professional, knowledgeable and deeply passionate about sharing the history and daily life within the slum. She provided detailed information that gave me a new perspective on the resilience and resourcefulnes of the community. Ruqaiyya’s storytelling skills and thorough explanations helped me understand the complexities of the area its challenges, history and the sense of community that thrives there. She was respectful in her approach, making sure the experience was both educational and meaningful without feeling intrusive. The tour was not only informative but also inspiring, as it highlighted the incredible ways people adapt and innovate despite difficult circumstances. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the realities faced by those in the slum, and the important social and cultural aspects of their lives. Kudos to Ruqaiyya for making this such a rewarding experience!

      Pankaj the fantastic tour guide!
      Pankaj was a fantastic tour guide -- knowledgeable, engaging, and witty -- he clearly knew so much about the history of the caves and the island and was able to convey this to us in an interesting and entertaining way. He was kind, courteous and respectful and the tour was great value for money. It was a pleasure to meet his father and brother along the way and we bought a beautiful painting from his father's stall. Would highly recommend!! Thank you again Pankaj and good luck!!

      The best Tourist Guide
      We had the incredible privilege of having Rukaiya as our guide during our slum tour of Dharavi, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rukaiya’s knowledge, professionalism, and warmth truly made the tour unforgettable. Her insights into the vibrant community, its industries, and daily life were both educational and eye-opening. She explained everything with such clarity and enthusiasm, making us feel connected to the stories of the people and the spirit of Dharavi. It’s clear that she is deeply passionate about showcasing the resilience, creativity, and hard work of the community. What stood out most was her approachable and friendly demeanor. She was patient with all our questions, ensured everyone in the group felt included, and made the entire experience comfortable and engaging. Her respect for the people and culture of Dharavi was evident, and she conveyed this to us in a way that made the tour deeply respectful and insightful. If you’re considering a Dharavi slum tour, I wholeheartedly recommend Rukaiya as your guide. Her passion, expertise, and kindness elevate the experience and leave you with a profound appreciation for the community and its people.

    Went on a half-day tour with Kavitha. We covered a lot of places and the itinerary is in general well planned, although limited customization. she is friendly, knowledgeable and takes great photos.

    However, she seems quite busy and was on her phone most of the time texting and calling. we felt a bit rushed towards the end as maybe because it’s getting late on a Saturday and she wants to leave already. We also could not get into Leopold Café despite me really wanting to - there was a line for 15 mins and I wish we planned ahead around this.

    I did a half day tour of Mumbai whilst on a Business trip a few weeks ago with Explore Mumbai and absolutely loved it! The tour guide Yash was really knowledgeable, and the driver Chandu was really friendly, even though he didn’t speak much English. We stopped at lots of different spots, and saw loads whilst we were driving too, which Yash always pointed out. My favourite part was watching 100s (if not 1000s) of locals playing cricket, which apparently happens every Sunday (so would recommend going on the tour then if you can!). The train station was also really cool, and I loved buying some spices from the market. The price was reasonable for what was included

    This was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Sharon was fantastic. After telling us she’d only been learning English for two months, her ability to communicate about the major monuments, buildings and historical sites was nothing short of mellifluous. The tour pretty much hits all the big must-see sights of Mumbai in a relatively short period of time. There is some walking, but it’s made easier by the accompaniment of the driver. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone eager to get a glimpse of the beauty of Mumbai!

    When you can't decide which sights to see, this a great way to get them all in one trip! Yash was extremely knowledgeable and encouraged questions throughout the tour. His knowledge runs deep, so this tour can take a bit longer than what is stated, and the time is worth it! While someone else navigated the busy city streets, I was able to hear the histories of so many landmarks. It was a lot of information, and I am truly appreciative for the insights! He even offered to help arrange for other tours.

    Just finished an excellent private tour with Ayan around Mumbai. He was very knowledgeable about all the sights and history and shows us around the key spots across the city. His English was excellent too. Our driver Vijay was excellent and safe driver who was always in the right spot to drop and pick us up. Their car was very comfortable with good aircon and water. We got some incredible photos. I would highly recommend this team and tour for anyone wishing to see all of Mumbai and lean about the city. Very convenient and on time pick up and drop off to hotel too.
