A wonderful way to learn about the city of Mumbai. History and current culture explained such as lunch boxes, world's largest outdoor laundry and an industrious slum of 2 million people. Let the experts navigate the dense traffic and sights. And get a head/back massage! Shuaib is an experienced and friendly guide.

The best way to see and understand life in Mumbai. With an expert and knowledgeable guide speaking good English and able to answer all our many questions it was most enjoyable. We felt safe with our driver everywhere we went and marvelled at his ability to find his way between sights. Altogether a very worthwhile experience.

I booked the private tour for our group of six (aged 70, 65, 60, 41, 28 and 28). The driver picked us up at the hotel on time and drove us to the starting point of the tour, where our guide Sandesh was waiting for us. We already learned a few things from the driver during the ride. Sandesh far exceeded all our expectations with his in-depth knowledge of Mumbai. He gave us an overview of Mumbai's history, stopping at the appropriate locations and buildings. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. We were all very happy that we took this varied and extremely interesting tour. I can recommend the tour and Sandesh in particular without reservation.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful and detailed review. We’re truly delighted to know that your private tour was such a rewarding experience for everyone in your group, spanning three generations. It’s great to hear that the pickup was punctual and that even the drive to the starting point was informative. We’re especially proud of Sandesh, and your kind words about his in-depth knowledge of Mumbai’s history and his ability to explain it at just the right places and landmarks mean a lot to us. Creating a tour that is engaging, comfortable, and enriching for guests of all ages is exactly what we aim for. We’re very happy that you found the tour varied, extremely interesting, and well worth your time. Thank you for recommending both the tour and Sandesh without reservation—it truly encourages our entire team. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Mumbai!
Fantastic city and slum tour in Mumbai with Rakesh. Rakesh was knowledgeable, respectful, and deeply engaging, giving real insight into the city’s life and contrasts. A powerful, authentic experience thanks to Rakesh.

This was one of the best tours I have ever been on (and I’m lucky to have traveled a lot)! My guides, Dharavesh for the slum tour and Rakesh for the city tour, were just amazing. As a solo woman traveler, I felt so safe and comfortable with them and we had a lot of fun as they guided me through the city and taught me about the history of Mumbai. More importantly, as residents of the Dharavi slum, they taught me that even the poorest people in India find happiness and joy and are a thriving community that support each other in the absence of material possessions. I felt humbled and feel that this is a lesson learned I will take back to my life. I can’t rate this tour or my fantastic guides highly enough.
Wow—your review truly touched us! We’re so grateful to hear that your experience with Dharavesh and Rakesh was not only informative but also deeply meaningful. It’s wonderful that you felt safe, comfortable, and inspired while exploring Mumbai with them. Dharavi is indeed a remarkable community, and your reflection on the happiness and resilience of its residents is beautifully expressed. We’re honored to have been a part of such a memorable journey for you. Thank you for your kind words and high recommendation. We would love to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
We had an incredible experience with Mumbai Dream Tours and our guide, Rakesh! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, informative, and enjoyable. Our tour began at Victoria Station (now Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus), where Rakesh shared the fascinating history of this iconic building and the background of the area we were staying in. From there, we explored Crawford Market, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. On our way to the Gateway of India, Rakesh captivated us with stories of Mumbai's history—from its Portuguese origins and how it got its name to the British rule and beyond. We also visited the Taj Hotel area, an architectural marvel, and then made our way to the iconic Dhobi Ghat, where we got a glimpse of the city's bustling open-air laundry system. The highlight of our tour was undoubtedly the visit to Dharavi Slums. It was an eye-opening experience that gave us a new perspective on the resilience and industriousness of the people there. Rakesh, being a local, provided incredible insights, making the experience respectful, educational, and memorable. The car provided for the tour was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the driver was excellent, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey throughout the day. We highly recommend Mumbai Dream Tours and especially Rakesh as a guide. His knowledge, passion, and friendly demeanor made our day in Mumbai unforgettable!

We also appreciate your kind words about our driver and tour organization—it means a lot to us! Thank you for your glowing recommendation! We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure in Mumbai.
Had an amazing time with Rakesh who was both very knowledgeable and informative. Tailor made the tour as we were in between flights on the day of the tour to coincide with our onward flight. Well done to Rakesh for also being able to entertain a 9, 7 and 4 years olds and making the tour fun for all the family!

The TOUR was excellent, our guide Rakesh very good guide he has a lot of knowledge. Every time we were very happy. The slum is interesting I recommend the slum tour. Thanks
We had a fantastic time with Rakesh seeing the sights sounds (and smells!!) of Mumbai - well organised trip that was well thought out, and Rakesh's knowledge of the slums and the wider city made us feel like we were getting the most out of the day. The slum visit will test your senses, but I highly recommend it as an experience to help you understand the way in which many people are living in this wonderful city.
