The trip started off with a drive to the seaside, wherefrom we took a small ferry to the island. I was immediately enthralled by the Portuguese culture, which was very visible on the island. We took a richshaw ride through the village, viewing many beautiful homes, churches and businesses. The village is not scenic as per se, but definitely seems different from Mumbai in general. Rahil also interacted fluently with the locals and learning about their views was interesting. We got to the beach and drank A LOT of coconut water and then headed for the Buddhist Centre. The Global Vipassana Pagoda is truly an architectural marvel. There are innumerable quotes on the walls, which make for a learning session in themselves. We then had a guided meditation session, which would have been perfect, except for the open doors (allowing some noise and light in), but I actually learnt a new technique to meditate. There is also an art gallery at the Centre and the art is extremely spiritual. Rahil is very knowledgeable about the local culture and ensured that he gave me all the useful information I needed to better understand the tour. I would highly recommend Rahil because he understands what he's doing, is friendly and goes out of his way to improve the experience.

I had the most fantastic experience. Sho was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. I highly recommend both the company and Sho for anyone wanting to learn and experience Mumbai.

We had such a wonderful day with Sho. He couldn’t have been more accommodating and he showed us so many interesting cultural highlights of Mumbai. We especially loved the chaotic open air cricket, the famous chai walla and the delicious lunch! We definitely recommend this tour.

I was in Mumbai for a friend’s wedding and wanted to tour the city, so thought this would be a great way to explore given that I was solo. It ended up being an excellent experience as my tour guide Gurmit (Tiger) was super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating when it came to what I was interested in seeing/learning about. The lunch was delicious (a local place, not somewhere touristy) which I appreciated. Additionally, I felt very comfortable on the tour (as it can be stressful when immersed in a new culture!) and I definitely got a much better sense of the city and surrounding environment. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting solo or with a group - I had an unforgettable experience. Also, shoutout to Gurmit for being a great personal photographer for a few hours :) Thank you!!

Where do I even begin! Such an amazing time getting to better understand the local ins and outs. From hopping on the local westernline train to experiencing the ferry crossing at Versova to Madh Island. Throughout the day I got to experience 16th century churches to 8th century caves dedicated to Shiva. Gurmit was awesome and helped navigate to new places that he also got to experienced for the first time. As always, lunch was amazing. Gurmit really made the day fun. He made it feel like we were just two people and not just a tour. I want to thank him for dedicating his time. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting the Mumbai area.
