Crawford Market, historic sites and slum tour in Mumbai

Shruti took us on a tour of the Mumbai slum this morning after last night taking us through Crawford Market and some of the other historic sites of the City. Shruti is very knowledgeable and provided us with many interesting anecdotes and facts about the City, its history and its peoples. It is also worth noting that Shruti and Neerag (our driver) were especially flexible to meet our needs. 5 stars and thank you Shruti and Neerag.

Efficient, informative

Great tour, was efficiently routed to hit many spots and see various industries within the two hours. Our guide Max was well informed of the history and very helpful. We were the only party reserved so he took some time to give us recommendations for the rest of our stay in Mumbai as well. Would recommend to people interested in local culture and history. Should be able-bodied as there’s a lot of walking and come well-equipped for the heat.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the efficient tour with Max and appreciated his insights and recommendations. Thank you for your helpful tips and recommendation—hope to welcome you again! 🌆✨
