A fast, energetic stop that captures Mumbai’s true efficiency and spirit.

“More Than a Tour, A Deep, Soulful Experience of Mumbai”

Unforgettable Mumbai Experience with Citypulse Mumbai Tours with Leena & Jana We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Mumbai with Leena and Jana, and I can honestly say it was one of the most meaningful and beautifully curated experiences of our entire trip. From the very beginning, everything felt effortless, personal, and deeply authentic. Leena and Jana are not just guides they are storytellers, connectors, and truly passionate about sharing the soul of Mumbai. They took us beyond the typical tourist spots and allowed us to experience the real essence of the city its culture, its people, its contrasts, and its magic. What made this tour so special was the level of care and attention they gave to every detail. They were incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and intuitive, adapting the experience to our interests and pace. We felt safe, welcomed, and genuinely connected throughout the entire day. Some of the moments we experienced are hard to put into words — vibrant streets, hidden gems, meaningful conversations, and a deeper understanding of life in Mumbai that you simply cannot get on your own. If you are visiting Mumbai, I cannot recommend this experience enough. Leena and Jana will not just show you the city — they will help you feel it. Thank you for such a beautiful, unforgettable day !!

A very emotional exciting tour.

We started with a wonderful guided city tour. Then our excellent guide led us to the Dabbawallas. They pack their bikes with an indescribable number of food containers. After a short break we went to the Dobhiwallas. The largest laundry in the world. In the end we went to Dharavi. Our guide Janna explained their hard work to us and brought us closer to their way of life.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your beautiful and thoughtful review! We are truly happy to hear that the tour gave you a deeper understanding of Mumbai — from the Dabbawalas and Dhobi Ghat to the inspiring community of Dharavi. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back to Mumbai again someday!

Mumbai City Tour

We spent an exciting second day in Mumbai. We have witnessed the dabbawallas packing their bikes to perfection and immersing themselves in the hustle and bustle of road traffic. We then went to the open large laundry known as Dobhiwala. Then we got a guided tour of Dharavi. Janna explained life to us there and we no longer perceived it as a slum, but as a functioning social community. I wish all Dharavis that their place be preserved. We take unforgettable and humble moments to Germany.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that your second day in Mumbai was so exciting and memorable. From witnessing the incredible precision of the Dabbawalas to visiting the open-air laundry and exploring Dharavi, we’re glad these experiences gave you a deeper understanding of the city. Your words about Dharavi are especially meaningful. We truly appreciate that you saw it not simply as a slum, but as a vibrant and functioning community filled with resilience, hard work, and strong social connections. Thank you for choosing to explore Mumbai with Janna. We’re honored to have been part of your journey and are so happy you’re taking unforgettable memories back to Germany.

Excellent Tour with Great Guide

Amazing trip with Janna. We only had a few hours in Mumbai but managed to see so much in 4hrs. Janna speaks excellent English and is so knowledgeable about Mumbai. Our driver was also very good, sorry can’t remember his name. Highly recommend this tour and the company. Easy communication and Janna was waiting at our hotel at the time agreed. If we come back again we will do the slum. Many thanks Janna for a great afternoon

Operator response

Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re happy you could experience so much of Mumbai even with limited time. Janna will be delighted to hear your kind words, and we truly appreciate your recognition of our driver and smooth communication. We look forward to welcoming you back for the Dharavi tour on your next visit to Mumbai!

Yew highly professional tour of the city !

We had a fantastic and highly informative ride through the city mi Janna. Janna is very friendly and always goes into all questions. The ride with a large taxi leads to locations you would not otherwise visit. Janna is very competent, you always get off with Janna and he accompanies you to the sights with a lot of background knowledge. Also the taxi driver is very friendly. Janna also answers “private” questions about life in India. A great experience.... so we will join the slum tour for tomorrow.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic and informative sightseeing experience with Janna. It means a lot to know that you appreciated his friendliness, knowledge, and willingness to answer all your questions about both the city and daily life in India. We’re also happy that you enjoyed the comfort of the car and the opportunity to visit places beyond the usual tourist route. Your appreciation for both Janna and the driver truly means a lot to us. Thank you again for choosing us for both your sightseeing and Dharavi tour. We’re so glad we could be part of your Mumbai experience, and we hope to welcome you again in the future!

Interesting tour

It was a very nice tour! We visited many places and our guide Jana answered all our questions very mindfully. The tour took four hours which was especially nice because we got to see lots of things and take time in the car to sit and ask questions in between sights. Would recommend to anybody!

Operator response

Thank you for your kind review! We’re happy you enjoyed exploring many parts of Mumbai and appreciated the relaxed pace of the tour. Janna will be delighted to know you enjoyed the experience and meaningful conversations along the way. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Mumbai!
