Ms. Nassem gave a great tour in the perfect amount of time. She was very knowledgeable of the city and the attractions. She was flexible for the changes we made on the fly. The driver was very attentive and the car was very clean. We would recommend this tour.

Elephanta caves and Mumbai tour really came alive for us due to the Knowledge of, Naina Shah, our guide for the day. Naina’s knowledge which she readily shared was incredible, from the history of the carvings in the Hindu Temples, to the attractions in and around Mumbai. Without Naina we would not have seen, or understood all that is central to Mumbai and its history. A long day but well worth the experience!

Mumbai is really a very interesting place to be. Unfortunately there was the holy Festival and a lot of attractions were closed. Guide was o.k but with room for improvement.

Wonderful day in the care of our expert guide, Chetan, and his driver. We saw many areas of Mumbai and learned a great deal about the city's history. The ferry ride and our time on Elephanta Island was very pleasant and interesting. It was just our guide and the 2 of us, so we were able to individualize our day...amazing given the good price. Well worth it, and we'd highly recommend this tour.

Rupali was an excellent guide! She was caring like a mother and very informative like a good teacher. She was doing much more than her job for me. Definitely request her to be with you :)

Highly recommend this tour. Our guide for the day, Chetan, was absolutely brilliant. He had a wealth of knowledge about all the sights we visited during the day and provided deep insights to all of our questions. We have been to Mumbai many many times but we learned so much about the city that we never knew. Thank you Chetan. Also the local guide we had at the Elephanta caves was amazing. He provided a thorough and detailed explanation of everything and not only was he a great guide but also a superb photographer. I will be recommending this tour to all my frlends and family that plan to visit Mumbai as it is totally worth the time and money spent.
