Absolutely amazing thewhole experience was amazing 👏
I had a wonderful private city tour of Mumbai on a Sunday with Suraj as my guide. He was extremely helpful, professional, and knowledgeable, and he made the whole day enjoyable and memorable. Thanks to his excellent organization and friendly approach, I was able to discover the city at a relaxed pace and truly appreciate its unique atmosphere. I would highly recommend this experience.
Really enjoyable private city tour with knowledgable guide Sam. They also customised the tour to our special requests without any issue. Highly recommended!
Sam is very friendly and knowledgeable. He took very good care of the guest throughout the tour. The restaurant he recommended also nice, I really satisfied with butter chicken and garlic naan. The 7-seater car was comfortable, clean, and equipped with AC and water, which made the trip very pleasant. I had a very good experience exploring Mumbai, including the city highlights and slum tour. Highly recommended.
We had 2 tours booked through our hotel , The Oberoi Mumbai , the Mumbai Experience tour and the Art gallery & Museum tour, with approx 4 hour tours each in very comfortable people carrier, There were 4 of us. We were met at the start with some gifts which was nice touch and the car was clean and modern with plenty of water. The driver was excellent navigation Mumbai traffic !! Our guide for both tours was a lovely lady , Hemangi. Hemangi was really amazing, very knowledgable , highly intelligent ,perfect English, and extremely engaging and humorous. We all loved the way she conducted the tours and we learned a lot from her in both tours, about Mumbai and many of the art and artefacts in the museum which she had knowledge of . Hermangi really showed us Mumbai's highlights . We cannot recommend Hemangi enough she was really brilliant. She is an excellent tour guide. and she was very patient and helpful as we tried to find an ATM !!!!! A lovely , knowledgable and highly intelligent lady !! We learned so much from Hemangi and will never forget our experience with her.
Passport Lifestyles was highly recommended for our bespoke city tour (including some specific requests based on our historical interests) and visit to the slums at Dharavi. From start to finish, the day was perfectly organised, no waiting in any queues, just car drop off and pick up close to each attraction, with the guide. Our guide Mr Aahad was brilliant - very knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, friendly and keen to do whatever he could to give us an amazing day. He certainly delivered that for us! The driver was also great - the car appeared quickly after each tour stop concluded and the air conditioning and roominess was appreciated on a hot spring day. The pace of the tour was excellent and I highly recommend Passport Lifestyles to anyone seeking a luxury tourist experience in Mumbai.
Passport Lifestyles gave our family an excellent South Mumbai tour experience. Oves was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and answered all of our questions with great detail and patience, including the many questions from our children. His English was excellent, and he made the tour smooth, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. The driver was also very professional, the car was comfortable, and the thoughtful touches like providing water were much appreciated. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Passport Lifestyles.

I highly recommend using this service. Being with a driver and guide makes all the difference to exploring Mumbai! The car was very comfortable and clean. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful. We stopped at a souvenir shop which seems a typical thing to do (from other experiences in India and being on tour). There was encouragement to go inside while I did not feel pressure to do so (and did not).
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear that having a driver and guide enhanced your Mumbai experience, and that you found the vehicle comfortable and your guide knowledgeable and helpful. We also appreciate your note about the souvenir stop - we're happy you felt relaxed and not pressured. Thank you for your recommendation!
