Best guided tour in Mumbai!!!

We went on a tour with Aryan to visit the Kanheri Caves and the Golden Pagoda. From start to finish Aryan was so helpful, friendly and insightful. We chose the option that included transportation and I’m so glad we did as we were able to shut off our brains and worry less in such a busy city. He was by far the best guide we have had here in Mumbai, I would highly recommend. He really looked after us. I’m glad we got to see so much of Mumbai in one day!

Operator response

We truly appreciate your high recommendation! The Kanheri Caves and Golden Pagoda offer such a unique look at the spiritual history of Mumbai, and we’re glad Aryan’s insights made the day so meaningful. At Magical Mumbai Tours, we aim to make even the busiest day feel seamless and insightful. Thank you for choosing us for your adventure!

Amazing experience

This tour was amazing! My husband and I had an absolutely outstanding experience visiting the Golden Pavilion and the Kanheri Caves with our private guide, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. We chose the option to have a pick up and drop off from andheri west and it went without a hitch even though we had booked the tour the night before. From the very beginning, Nikhil was warm, kind, and incredibly considerate, making sure we were comfortable and fully engaged throughout the tour. His english was great, which made it easy for us to ask questions and have meaningful discussions along the way. We also optioned for the lunch, but there were also other options stop for a quick snack between transfers if you do not want to spend extra time at the end of the tour. The car was so comfortable I wound up taking a nap. If you are considering a private tour of the Golden Pavilion and the Kanheri caves, we wholeheartedly recommend booking with Nikhil. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine kindness made this an unforgettable journey.

Intricate cave carvings and a beautiful view, plus silly monkeys to look at! What more could you ask for?

Pretty nice tour! It's definitely a hike so be prepared for that(I wasn't prepared haha). Our tour guide, Nikhil, was very nice and personable, lots of knowledge and quick to answer questions. My mom was really struggling physically with the hike and he was quick to help her up and down the stairs when she needed it and even helped carry her purse! All three of us are pretty out of shape and Nikhil was very patient with us which is absolutely appreciated. Wasim was our driver and he was nice too, very accommodating and welcoming. From being picked up to being dropped back off at our hotel, the tour was around 4 hours total. We only did the caves but if you start from closer by you could probably squeeze in some other sights as well. The view from the mountain top was amazing! If you can go when the haze is less servere so you can actually see the Mumbai skyline, I recommend that. The monkeys were fun too, you definitely get to see a lot of them.

Shame it was cancelled after leaving me waiting in the morning

They cancelled next morning after booking as a cruise ship sailed into port and meant all guides diverted to that rather than day to day tours. I got a call after messaging them while I was waiting for their guide.
