We did the 5 Senses tour with Nami and it was excellent. We covered so many aspects of Mumbai (everything and more on my wish lit!)and Nami shared lots of interesting information and history with us. We started at the Taj Mahal Palace and Gate of India and then detoured to a local outdoor laundry where we could walk amongst the basins and see the lines of laundry drying in the sun, before heading to the colonial precinct. We were amazed how many UNESCO sites there were and the architecture was stunning. We walked out onto the Oval to see 100s of cricketers practising, it was quite surreal. Then a short train ride from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus took us out of the city and into the suburbs. This was a great experience , the terminus its self was stunning and it was interesting to get an insight into how the local move around this city, thankfully it was a weekend so there was no problem getting a seat, during the weekend days locals hang onto the side of the trains. We then visited a local spice market where family masala recipes handed down through the generations were made up, here the suppliers mix and warm the spices before they are pounded ready for use, all under the watchful eye of the local wives. It was a fascinating experience and an assault on the senses! Nami shared her family recipe with us which she had made up for us as we watched. After a lovely lunch we headed to a Bollywood dance class. This was great fun and our instructor was very patient with us, we laughed a lot although the video of the final dance is probably not for general viewing! We had a driver with us throughout which was great as we could move at our own speed and also include things which were interesting to us. I am a big architecture fan so Nami added a trip down marina Drive to see all the art deco buildings (the second biggest concentration after Miami). We would thoroughly recommend this tour and our guide.

We agreed at the beginning of our day what we wanted to do and that's what we did. Saw all the sights, delicious lunch (with my nut allergy catered for), danced some Bollywood and ended up with some retail therapy. Best tour so far.

Well wow! Our guide Aman regaled us with the history of Bombay/Mumbai at the Gateway of India at the start of a day filled with brilliant experiences: the dabbowallas and their incredible lunchtime tiffin service throughout the city; the dhobi ghat - a laundry system like no other; a trip on a local train from the astonishing station (formerly Victoria Terminus); the spice market where people go to have their secret family recipe for masala made up; a delicious lunch in Folk. Aman was super accommodating as we wanted to replace one or two locations with two personal location requests.

This was a truly memorable tour, which incorporated sights and experiences that gave us a taste for Mumbai and a desire to return in the future and see more. Sight - magnificent architecture and lots of information about the history of the city. Smell - the fantastic spice market, where our guide treated us to some spices to take home and use in our cooking - to remind us of our wonderful holiday to India. Taste - lunch in a really nice restaurant. Hearing - the amazing infectious Bollywood music that accompanied our dance class. Touch - touching the lives of the local community with a local train ride - no air conditioning, but electric fans fixed to the ceiling and no doors!!! Thanks to Namrata Ghandi, our guide for her warmth, enthusiasm, knowledge and great sense of humor.

KP took us on a 5 senses tour day of Mumbai which included the laundry network, significant buildings, tiffin men, spice market, standard train journey and a surprise lesson. KP has a great personality with great knowledge, very informative and helpful. Highly recommended Graham & Fran

Moby was a great teller of story and information…making a great fun day out. He easily tailored our trip as we wanted to take some things out

We spent a really interesting and fun day around Mumbai with Aman and highly recommend booking with him if you want real insights into everyday living in the city and it’s past. He’s obviously a local guy and seems to know everyone we met. He first gave us a potted history of Mumbai as we wandered around the Gateway area then spent the day walking and driving from one fascinating venue to another - each one brought to life by the people he introduced us to and by his infectious enthusiasm for his home city. My favourite was a visit to the spice market where on one traders stall we had full access to the mixing, heating, grinding and sale of spices. This guy seems to love his job and loves people so we feel really privileged to have spent the day with him. At the laundry, the restaurant, the dance studio and with the dobbawallers he introduced us to the people and made us feel like their special guest. And on the train journey he looked after us well!! It’s a great day out and we gained so much insight into Mumbai life. Fascinating day and a very good tour guide.

Our guide was Rrupesh who was amazing! His enthusiasm for the city was infectious and he was thoughtful and professional throughout the tour. We started with a really interesting visit to see laundry Mumbai style . We had fun at The Gateway to India when several families wanted to have photos with us. Rrupesh took photos of us at all locations which we appreciated. Learning about the Tiffin workers was really interesting and astounding that errors in orders or deliveries are really rare. The Bollywood Dance session was excellent with an enthusiastic teacher. Lunch was delicious-we had the fish thali. The Spice market was very aromatic and unlike any we have seen before in our travels as tailor made spice blends are tempered and ground for each customer - it was certainly a heady aromatic experience. We enjoyed some Masala Tea whilst there. The train ride was great too and Victoria Station is magnificent. Our driver was excellent too and it was great to chat with Rrupesh about a wide range of issues during our car journeys. A 5 star tour which we can highly recommend.

Through various experiences combining history, culture and encounters that Mumbai reveals itself and awakens our meaning! On the program: stroll through the colonial district where the city has a historical heritage, visit the spice market, initiation to dance with a Hollywood dance choreographer, tasting typical local dishes…. Many thanks to Aparna, our guide, for this great and beautiful journey !

Aman was *amazing* tour guide. Informative, entertaining and a joy to be with. We could not recommend him more highly! The best!

Very enjoyable day and a great way to see different areas of the city. Our guide, Heer, made it very interesting with fun facts as well as history and local knowledge. Would highly recommend.

I was overwhelmed coming from the Texas at the size of the city of Mumbai .It was so exhilarating to find so many people connecting as if I was watching a well orchestrated symphony. I am certain the reason was my guide Heer G. She is the most enthusiastic person, so knowledgeable about her city's history as well as current events. But she truly wanted to make sure that what I came to India to experience .... The culture , the food , and most of all the graciousness of her people happened at every turn . I will return to Mumbai and insist on another guided adventure with Heer.

We had such a fun and educational day. If you have only a day in Mumbai this tour will give you a highlight of what is special about this city. We started with the main architectural sites of the city (Gate Way of India, Taj Palace, Victoria Station, etc). . We learned about and practiced Bollywood dancing. We saw how the dabbawalas distribute the lunch boxes. We had a lovely lunch in a shopping district where we could explore some custom dress shops containing beautiful saris. The best stop for us was the spice market where we could see suppliers custom roasting and pounding out Marsalis for local families. Great day!

We had an amazing full day experience in Mumbai due to our dear tour guide Aman. Highly recommend Aman as a tour guide! He knows cities very well, he is fun, easygoing and friendly! Me & my husband enjoyed the tour very much! Thank you!!

Aman was the best tour guide. He has lots knowledge and a great personality. We spent the entire day laughing and creating memories to last a life time. We will most definitely be back and would take another tour with him again. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely tour with Batul. She was funny, informative and full of energy. Our highlight (or lowlight if you were watching 🤪) was learning an Indian dance routine !

Namrata was absolutely amazing. I had been to Mumbai before so she tweaked our schedule and took me to some new places that I just loved. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and a great guide.

Fantastic tour! Our guide Heer was very pleasant, knowledgeable and fun. Tour focused not only on the sights and history but on local culture which we found interesting.

We had a wonderful day in Mumbai exploring the sights but also learning more about its history, people and what makes it so unique. Our guide Krupesh was fun to be with and constantly checked with us regarding the schedule & sequence of stops and made sure we were enjoying our day. He also took some fabulous photos & shared tips on how to capture the best aspects of the tour. His attention to detail and knowledge of the city made it extra special. We thoroughly recommend this company and our guide. We don’t have much time on this trip but would love to come back and take advantage of some of the other tours they offer.

Excellent day out that was full of interest and lots of laughs. Our guide, Twishi, was super and very knowledgable. Highly recommended.
