We had a 6 hour tour of Mumbai, picked up from the cruise terminal (including all our luggage) and finishing with drop off at the airport. Guru was our guide for the day, with a driver, whose name I can’t recall. We were taken to all the sights around this fascinating city and Guru was very knowledgeable about all the sights and helped take some great Insta-worthy photos. He took us on a short ride on a local train, which is very different from trains in the U.K. and quite an experience. The driver kept our luggage safe while we wandered around the sights with Guru. We booked the trip through Venture Ashore in the UK. The communication from both Venture Ashore and Bollywood Tours while in India was excellent, with updates on who our guide was and where to meet up beforehand, giving us lots of reassurance. We didn’t actually do the Bollywood tour itself, as there is so much in Mumbai we wanted to see. We also opted not to do the slum tour, as we felt uncomfortable treating it as a “tourism attraction” I can highly recommend this company. Thanks so much to Guru for making it a memorable day.

Thanks Rahul for a wonderful day tour across Mumbai City. Appreciate all the wonderful facts and your personal take on this vibrant city. Looking forward to coming back and seeing more parts of the city with you!
This was an unbelievable experience. The tour led by Rahul through his home of Dharavi is an experience i will never forget and can hardly describe. We wanted our 3 western kids to see how people live differently in a different country to Nz. We were amazed by the entire experience. The largest slum in India is a vibrant, compelling illustration of discipline, sacrifice, innovation and resilience which is surely unique among human kind. Not to be missed this experience can change your life. and it absolutely requires a skilled professional guide which mr Rahul certainly is. Being a Dharavi native he can show you what so few can from the outside. It’s literally beyond words . . .
