          Amazing and insightful tour that will teach you so much more than cooking
          An incredible and insightful tour that not only teaches you new cooking skills but also gives you a glimpse of what it’s like to live as a young married mother in Mumbai. Aarti taught me so much (including how much of a wimp I am when trying to flip hot chapati on the cooker), and she was super patient when I could probably roll or knead the dough 😊 Being invited into a persons home is such a privilege and this tour really does immerse you into the life of a local. My driver Mukesh was also amazing, teaching me all about the landmarks we passed during our drive. I’d highly recommend this tour and these two guides specifically.

          Great Mumbai Tour
          Had the pleasure of spending our day with Mukesh! He was amazing, professional and very knowledgeable about the city. He took us to the Open Laundry, Mahatma Gandhi’s house, cricket stadium, passed through slums and showed us around Mumbai. He was prompt at the airport in picking us up and had cold drinks waiting for us on such a hot day. He’s one to ask for when booking a tour whenever you’re in Mumbai, highly recommended.

          Eye-Opening
          It was eye-opening seeing Dharavi up close. It made me appreciate how crowded, difficult but also dynamic and productive the place is. The guide was informative though I wish it was a bit longer and more context was provided.

          Best tourguide
          The tour was really amazing went as a young women felt safe and was so interesting to see a insight of how the people work there and make business. Abhi was our great tourguide and he answered all the questions and gave really nice insight views. Really worth a visit ! (That comes from a person that was unsure about doing it bc it felt weird to take a visit at peoples home, but defiantly worth it!)

          Good sightseeing Mumbai Tour
          Our trip guide was Aarti. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the various locations, its history and significance. They were flexible with the location allowing us to see and explore the different places in Mumbai.

          An excellent, informative tour of a world heritage site from Chetan, who it also turns out is a very good photographer. All the transport tickets etc are handled too. Highly recommend.

          Accessible trip to Elephanta
          We had a tour to Elephanta caves arranged for our little girl that is disabled by Mystical Mumbai. Everyone was really helpful and she was carried along with her chair to the top of the caves making the experience accessible for her. In particular our guide Raj was phenomenal in supporting us and being patient allowing our whole group to have a chance to enjoy the trip, I would definitely use them again!

          Shake off western standards & open your mind
          I had not planned in taking this tour, but due to an unexpected injury to another guide, was left with this option- and I am so glad that I did. My guide Bharti was born, raised, and continues to live in the Dharavi community. She is very knowledgeable about it’s history, its current commercial & residential offerings, speaks very good English and is fun, funny, and nice. This is an amazing community of industrious people that are recycling, repurposing, living in harmony with their neighbors. We ended our tour by having tea with her parents in their home. The best masala chai I have had after 20 days of travel in India. I highly recommend this tour, and Bharti in particular. Go!

          Fabulous experience. Our guide Raj was very knowledgeable. The separate guides we met in the synagogues were great and told us much about the history of Mumbai Judaism.

        I'm a female solo traveller to India on a business trip, I was a bit nervous about travelling alone in Mumbai and hence joined a local personal tour during my layover. My tour guide and driver Mukesh (Abhay) is absolutely wonderful. He tried to show me as much as possible during my time there and ensure I could get back to the airport on time with considerations of the typical traffics in Mumbai. The experience absolutely exceeds my expectations. Mukesh showed me the different parts of Mumbai, and his very knowledgeable about the history as well as security in different parts of the city. He is also a very humble man in which I respect a lot. Cannot recommend more! PS I don't typically write long reviews, and this is my first.

        I recently hired a private tour in Mumbai and had a memorable experience. The driver was professional and ensured a smooth journey throughout the day. The tour guide, Arti, was very kind, warm, and open to sharing her culture and way of life, which made the experience unique. A highlight for me was visiting her family and seeing her home—an authentic and personal touch that I truly appreciated.

        Arti was also accommodating when it came to taking pictures, ensuring I could capture some great memories. While the storytelling about the city’s history felt a bit light, I enjoyed learning more about the local culture through her perspective.

        The tour ended with a visit to a local store to shop. While the experience was interesting, I felt a bit pressured to buy something. That said, I’m convincing myself it was a good purchase and part of the cultural experience!

        We have been for a 4 hours tour with Mukesh as a guide around Mumbai to grab and see the most relevant sites of the city.
        It has been really exciting and very informative, Mukesh has also been extremely gentle, flexible and available to all our questions and request.
        To be repeated next time in Mumbai

        We had a full day private tour with a wanderfull guide, Aarti. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She even took us to her house to show how her family is living and served us tea. We saw all big attractions in Mumbai and we had a very rich and powerful experience. We highly recommend the tour and especially Aarti! Thanks Aarti!

        I only had one day in Mumbai so I woke up and booked this guided city tour. Mukesh arrived on time and he spoke very good English. I told him where I wanted to go and he made sure I saw everything I wanted to see. He also educated me about the city of Mumbai, where he was born and raised. He informed me of many spots I was not aware of and we visited them. He dropped me off on time. I was sad to see the day end. It was absolutely wonderful 🙏

        Our guide Mukesh was incredible! He picked us up on time and included so many things into our day, many of which weren't in the official schedule. He went out of his way to make the day perfect for us and included a few additional stops that I requested. He was very knowledgable and provided a world of information about each of our stops. Would highly recommend.

        Nikesh was an amazing guide for our two days in Mumbai! We wanted to curate our own experience since we had been to the city before, and Nikesh was very flexible in accommodating us and providing additional suggestions when needed. Both he and the driver were very knowledgable about various aspects of the city, and they remained patient while we went into explore certain attractions by ourselves. Highlight of the tour for us was definitely the Kanheri Caves - definitely visit them if you have the time!

        Mukesh was a fabulous tour guide. He picked us up promptly from the airport and completed some research regarding our itinerary prior.

        He was very knowledgeable throughout and shared a lot about his own experiences growing up in Mumbai. I would definitely recommend the tour if it’s your first time checking out the city.

        Thanks for a wonderful trip, Mukesh!
