Private Mumbai Jewish Heritage Tour: Bagdá e Bene Israel

No Footprints have a wide range of tours that they describe really well on their website. We specifically wanted to see sites of Jewish interest and went to a few synagogues, Chabad House, the Sassoon Library and a cemetery that held personal relevance. Booking was easy and quick as was payment (just check the confirmation email doesn’t go into spam) but they were responsive and efficient and communicated the arrangements really well. Our tour guide Meherban was prompt, helpful and above all knowledgeable and great to hang out with. His English was perfect and he knows the city intimately having lived here all his life. He went out of his way to show us things we were interested in but also gave us time and space to explore ourselves and ask questions, which we really appreciated. We had our own driver but I think No Footprints can supply one if you don’t. Overall a totally positive experience in a city where having a guide gives you insights and makes travelling around an easier experience.

Our guide, Heer, was so incredible. Not only was she super knowledgeable about the sites we were viewing, but she had a personal connection with all of the caretakers of the locations we were visiting, and got us into some closed sites with no trouble at all. Also, as a born-and-raised resident of Mumbai, she gave us so much context about what we were seeing. She was also fun and SO friendly and warm. This was one of the best tours I've ever had!

Krupesh was extremely informative, really helpful and so entertaining. It was a wonderful tour!

Fantastic tour. Our guide Manya was clear, knowledgeable and a great tour leader Thoroughly recommend

Meherban was an exceptional guide! His deep knowledge and passion brought Jewish Mumbai's history to life. From synagogues to hidden gems, he shared captivating stories with warmth and humor. Professional, engaging, and truly unforgettable. Highly recommended.

This was of great interest to us as Jews. Our guide, Nimisha Nair, showed a great depth of knowledge and really made the tour fascinating for us.

We had an incredible tour with Nasreen. Her deep knowledge of Indian, Jewish, and global history brought the story of Jewish life in Mumbai—past and present—to life in a vivid and meaningful way. Beyond being an expert guide, she is genuinely warm, caring, and truly goes above and beyond for the people she hosts. She helped us navigate Mumbai’s busy streets, communicated with locals on our behalf, and generously stayed with us for hours beyond our scheduled tour time. I highly recommend booking any tour with Nasreen. You’ll learn a lot, have a great time, and connect with a wonderful person along the way.

We had the best experience / tour with Nasreen! She went above and beyond in making our experience special. We learned so much about the Jewish history in Mumbai and the city in general. Additionally, she went out of her way to help us shop for traditional Indian wedding outfits that we needed and we couldn’t have done it without her help! She was amazing!!!

Excellent tour given by Nasreen . She s a really intelligent , knowledgeable guide. Her historical information was second to none. She gave us a real picture of the life of the Jewish community of Mumbai.

Our guide, Nasreen Mehta, was superb! She was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic about showing us the sites and explaining the history, as well as kind and thoughtful (eg watching out for us crossing streets in Mumbai traffic!) My husband and I have taken tours all over the world, and we both agreed that Nas is an absolute top tier guide. We hope she will guide us again in the future.
