Things to do in Mumbai

The guide is amazing. He was born and raised here, and his wealth of knowledge truly opened my eyes. He’s also incredibly kind and approachable. If you have time, please join this tour—it’s a great way to support the entire community.

The day before departure, they proactively contacted me via WhatsApp to remind me to arrive on time. On the day of the activity, there were a total of five tourists, including myself. Because it was the rainy season, it rained heavily when we met in the morning. However, since we were traveling by train the whole time, it didn't affect the itinerary, and the rain subsided after we arrived at the laundry. After meeting at Churchgate Station, the tour guide, Alam, took us in order to (1) Mahalaxmi Station to see Dhobi Ghat Laundry, (2) Dharavi Slum at Mahim Station, and finally (3) back to Churchgate Station to see the Dabbawalas lunchbox deliverymen. The train arrangement was quite clever, skillfully avoiding the rush hour. The whole activity was very relaxed, and the explanations were very in-depth. It's a great way to quickly experience a side of Mumbai life in half a day.

The Elephanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offer a profound journey into the heart of ancient Indian spirituality and rock-cut artistry. Located on an island just a ferry ride away from Mumbai, this site is not just a tourist attraction but a powerful encounter with the archetypes of the divine. It’s a place really worth visiting. I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for our guide, Anas.He truly made our visit to the Elephanta Caves an unforgettable experience.

I had a good experience. It is value of money , most convenient and safety to explore Mumbai city. Guide driver is so polite, friendly and give me full descriptive details of each place. Fortunately, yesterday was National Day, the traffic was not congested and my trip was finished earlier. It was great!

Our guide, Danish, picked us up from our hotel and walked with us to the ferry. He took care of everything when getting on the boat, and explained what to expect when we arrived by the caves. Unfortunely, we didn’t listen well enough and purchased an overpriced marble elephant (you live and you learn). On the way back he gave us advice about where we should eat and do our shopping. All in all a very good experience.

It was a nice trip. It took one hour to get to the island and Hamid make nice conversation about Mumbai and Elephanta Caves and at the end of our trip also told us about Gateway of India. Upon arrival on the island, we were met by another guide who took us around the caves and told us their history.

Our tour guide Balaji was very helpful and accomodating throughout the tour. He able to explained every history of each places we went to and answers all our questions. Even though most of the road is closed due to Mumbai Marathon, but he covered most of the places based on the give time. Highly recommended to try this tour!!!

The half day trip is a wonderful way to know major attraction of Mumbai. My guid “Saif” is professional and efficient. He makes sure my needs were taken care of. He even took me take the train which was not part of package. Overall a very good experience. The driver pick up/drop off hotel service is good too. I would recommend the tour for those who only have one free day in Mumbai.

Huge shoutout to my tour guide, Fahad! He was incredibly informative about all the places we visited and such a genuinely good guy. I highly recommend him. Even though the pickup was a bit late from the agreed time, they still managed to cover all the destinations on our itinerary without rushing. If I ever get the chance to visit India again, I would definitely want Fahad as my guide. I truly enjoyed the entire tour—thanks so much guys!
