I had a great tour with Balaji, as my guide and Pranav as my driver. I booked it three hours before it actually took place but it nonetheless ran smoothly. Mumbai at night is magical! I happened to visit during the warm weather period and it actually was best for me to experience this tour at night as it can get pretty hot during the day. I learned a lot about the historical points in Mumbai and was actual able to know where I was at in the days to follow thanks to this tour. I highly recommend this tour and all tours offered by this company. They are courteous, professional, knowledgeable and an overall pleasure to work with.

I was picked up from the airport as agreed. The sightseeing tour was great. The driver Surrendra, who was also the guide, had a lot of knowledge. There was enough time to see the sights. After the tour he took me to the hotel. A great day in Mumbai ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Imran was very kind and respectful. He knows a lot about the city and he made me feel very safe traveling as a solo woman. The service was professional and the car was clean and comfortable. Recommended!

I will keep it short; mister Imran was perfect! Enjoyed the tour very much, thanks for the good care!

Great tour. The guidance was super clear, desiring to explain well; very professional
