The tour operator did not turn up at the scheduled time. Having contacted them they said that they had try to ring but they didn’t! Wanted to rearrange but we didn’t have confident that they would turn up so cancelled it and waiting for a refund. With a short time in Mumbai this was very disappointing, therefore do not recommend this local company.
Our guide was informative and really made every stop interesting with fun stories and local tips. The vehicles were comfortable and clean, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. I especially loved the visit to Mani Bhavan, where you get a real sense of Gandhi’s life and legacy in a peaceful, historic setting. The Hanging Gardens offered beautiful views and a relaxing break from the city buzz. All in all, it’s a super easy and fun way to experience Mumbai!
