You must we Mumbai with Heer! - Heer was our guide in Mumbai. We had an amazing tour of the city with her. She is one the best guides we have ever had, and we... read more have gone on custom tours throughout the world. She is very personable, pleasant, respectful. She was always on time and always ready to share her knowledge about Mumbai, the rest of India and its history. If she wasn't able to answer a question, she didn't bluff. She researched the question and told us the answer the next time we saw her. When we had special requests, she always made time in our schedule for them.
Heer's English is PERFECT. She may be Indian, but she speaks like a well-educated American with no accent.
Heer is such a lovely person. She was always fastidious. We really hated to say goodbye.

So we pounced on the chance to get a tour. We went to a range of small restaurants and hole in the wall places. There was a great variety of street food of good quality. Our guide KP was great and tempted us with new morsels long past what we thought was our eating capacity. Beyond the food we had a good time going to different parts of the city and hearing about the communities associated with the food. Strongly recommend

Our guide KP was warm and friendly and a weaver of stories. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that we would highly recommend.

The food itself was all vegetation, and interesting.
We tried a wide variety of items, all street food, surrounded (and watched) by local people.
The best bit for me though, was Namrata herself. Communication before/after was great, she was very welcoming and friendly, she gave us options as the tour progressed, and we also had a lot of non-food chit chat.

If you are already upside down from a huge time difference getting up for this 5:15am tour is the perfect treat for the senses. And even if you don’t like getting up early, find a way to make it happen as you will see, hear, taste & smell the genuine local Mumbai experience like you can no other way!
Our experienced guide, Adi, along with Shruti and our highly skilled driver took us on a tour we will not soon forget. From the famed fishing docks, to vibrant and bustling fruit & vegetable markets, on to early am newspaper routing by bicycle couriers, and finally the oh so colorful flower markets were all expertly described in perfect English with two delightful guides who kept us safe and having all kinds of fun. Adi has a great sense of humor, and his knowledge of the local ways and customs was fascinating to hear, see and experience so directly it was quite astonishing indeed! Especially so for the four of us fresh off the plane from the states. He was also most helpful with photo taking, and his microphone-amplifier made it very easy to hear and understand over the delightful chaos that swirled all around us during the tour. By the way, we were back in time for breakfast around 8:00 at our hotel, and had time for a refreshing long nap before enjoying the rest of the day on our own.
Thanks again Adi!

Krupesh, our knowledgeable tour guide, took us on a scenic drive through the scenic village of Bandra, where we saw the old St. Andrew Church and the world-famous Mount Mary Church. It was deeply satisfying to watch the city's history and spirituality merge.
