Our guide was guide Sangita was a total delight. Totally recommend this...Mumbai is a fascinating and complex city, definitely suggest a tour to catch a glimpse into this area.
Our guide was very friendly and extremely knowledgable about politics and current events. He knew little to nothing, however, about the Kanheri Caves- the very thing we'd signed up to see. To make matters worse, he simply made up facts when he didn't know the answer. A quick check on Wikipedia was more enlightening than our tour. We would have been better off on our own with just the driver.
