Fun and Insightful Bollywood Experience!

I had a great time on the Bollywood studio tour with Jitin. The tour was really fun and informative, I learnt so much about how Bollywood movies are made! We even got to see a live shooting of a TV series, which was such a unique experience. Jitin was very friendly, helpful, made sure everyone had a great time throughout the tour and I felt very safe with my guide. Highly recommend this tour to anyone curious about the magic behind Bollywood!

Guided tour of Bollywood movie venues)))

On October 13, our exciting tour of Bollywood's film studios took place. The day went perfectly: in the morning we were picked up directly from the hotel, in the evening we were brought back, and in the middle of the route we took a nice break for a delicious Indian lunch. Visiting the homes of famous Bollywood stars was a particular pleasure. I fulfilled my dream by seeing the famous SRK mansion – Mannat, 💖 we also had the opportunity to see the houses of the Kapoor family, Salman Khan, Mukesh Ambani and his daughter. Then began an exciting tour of the film industry: we imbued the filmmaking process with a variety of locations, including the shooting of four popular TV series at once. I even had a unique opportunity to take a photo with Abhishek Malik himself, who starred in the series "Saas bahu aur swat". 💜 The next stop took us to open-air venues where landmark scenes from the films were previously filmed: the finale of SRK's "The Fan", an ancient temple made of classic Indian tapes, the set where Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff were filmed, and the decoration of one new film, which is still in production (photographing there was prohibited). Amazingly, Kareena Kapoor herself worked in one of the pavilions! 🤩 A busy day ended with a small concert with traditional Indian dance, where there was an opportunity to dance on the same stage as professional artists. Of course, I took the chance and danced with great pleasure! 😍 Huge thanks to our guide Rahul Sharma for organizing the amazing day, full immersion in the world of cinema and plenty of vivid experiences. This unforgettable experience will stay with me forever! ❤️

Very knowledgeable and accommodating to all our needs. I would recommend him for any tour.

Our Bolleywood tour was all I hoped for and more. We saw a filming at the back lot with a well known star. Then we went to the large studio complex where we saw amazing sets and actiors rehearsing. Then an amazing dance show and film sound dubbing. I got to sing and dance.

Expensive but cool

It was a great experience being able to see two different studios making part of the bollywood industry. As a fan of bollywood movies it was a dream coming true. We could also see two different set being live filming and could apreciate the way how they organize everything before the regisseur say 《action and cut》. It would have been great if we could get some more details about the camera equipment or have a look into a storyboard. The sound recording in which we also took part was also a great experience. Although we did find the dance show a bit disapointing, knowing how dance choreographie look like in bollywood movies, it didn't represent half of it... The meal was ok... I was maybe expecting to be able to choose my order... Our guide Rahul is a very cool, nice person and we were fewling very comfortable around him. Also the driver Sarfaraj was very very kind and nice to be around. Finally we can say that we had a great experience as fan of bollywood movies, but to be honest the price was for sure exagerated.

Operator response

Dear Mam, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed visiting the Bollywood studios and witnessing the filming process firsthand. It’s always exciting to see how much organization goes into making movies, and we appreciate your feedback about wanting more insights into the camera equipment and storyboards. We’re glad you had fun participating in the sound recording, even though the dance show didn't fully meet your expectations. Bollywood choreography is indeed vibrant and diverse, and we appreciate your thoughts on that. Regarding the meal, we understand the importance of having more options. While Rahul did offer you choices, we appreciate your preference for his suggestions and will consider this for future experiences. We’re also happy to hear that Rahul and Sarfaraj made your time more enjoyable—they truly are wonderful at what they do! Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to provide an even better experience next time, and we appreciate your understanding about the pricing. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks & Regards,

Besides being picked up 40 minutes late and disappointed that we didn’t see more live filming. It turned out to be an enjoyable day, especially dancing with the performers.

One Thing off My Bucket List

My tour began when I was picked up at my hotel by Lawrence and the driver. We drove past some of the bollywood star's homes, and I stopped at Shah Rukh Khan's house, which was one of the things I have wanted to do for a long time. We visited three studios--I danced, saw some great short videos on film production, saw some filming and had lunch at a very nice restaurant. I canot say enough about Lawrence. He is a very knowlegable guide. He was warmly greeted at the three studios by employees which indicates the level of respect he has earned. A person would never regret having paid him to be their tour guide.
