⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently joined a walking tour of Mumbai with Abhi, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From stunning historical landmarks, including the beautiful art deco buildings to cool vintage Bollywood record street stalls . The biggest highlight was visiting the mysterious black magic house. Make sure you ask Abhi to explain. A visit to Cat Chowk is a must and don’t forget to try some delicious Mumbai street food. Abhi is passionate about his city's history. Thank you Abhi.

Abhi was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The walking tour explained the history of the heritage buildings.

We had an excellent walk with Abhishek, who is very knowledgeable and answered every question. We started at the Regal Cinema and had a 3 hour tour including a couple of unscheduled stops, finishing at the Mumbai Railway Terminus. A great introduction to Mumbai on our first morning

The tour was informative. I learned few things about Mumbai, that I did not know, and this is not my first time in this dynamic city. This tour is a good introduction to some who is in Mumbai for the firs time. My tour guide was friendly and proactive. The prime minister was visiting and some of the venues in the tour were scheduled to close, so he asked if we could start the tour an hour earlier. I will call that excellent service.

This is my first walking tour in Mumbai despite being born and bought up here. I was looking for a tour that explained the history behind Mumbai since my manager was visiting from outside of India. Yash was an amazing guide, he explained a lot of things and the history behind it so well. Thanks for the amazing tour.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're honored to have been part of your first walking tour in Mumbai, especially as a local introducing the city's history to your manager. Yash will be thrilled to know you appreciated his knowledge and storytelling. We hope to welcome you on more tours to explore even more facets of Mumbai’s rich heritage.
