A Memorable Evening - Sanika was a friendly, happy and obviously well-informed guide. She always seemed to know more than was required - which we got to know when we asked her questions. And we asked her many. Instead of telling us to 'shut up and listen', she was delighted, and after answering our questions, said "I've never had anyone asking me so many questions. I really love this. "! She also seemed socially aware and a fighter for the underdog. Her love for the Kohli fisherfolk was touching, especially when they waved out to her, chatted with her, and even asked us to come there again at Christmas time, to see their Christmas tree made of fishing nets. A memorable experience indeed. Congratulations! 😊

Bandra Heritage Walking tour-3 hours very well spent! - Despite having lived in Bombay most of my life, I am unfortunately not very well-versed with it's history. I opted for this tour along with my husband and 12 year old son to understand more about the heritage of one of my favourite areas in the city i.e. Bandra. It was a great experience. Sanika, our guide, did a remarkable job of explaining the history of Bandra and told us lots of trivia about the area. She patiently answered questions, guided us through the bylanes of Bandra and took pictures whenever wé requested. My son, who was not interested in joining at all since he presumed it would be boring, had a really great time. He is in fact,looking forward to joining in for more such tours, as am I.

Slice of Bandra, served with love! - Loved the tour! Sanika is super knowledgeable and passionate, and as a subject matter expert she ensured the walk is engaging and memorable. We loved exploring the bylanes of Bandra, and as a Mumbaikar I now have new lens to this part of the city, thanks to her. We also learnt that this was curated by her end-to-end, so it's extra special! From origin names, folk backgrounds to map references, restaurants and bakeries, street names, cultural nuances and even photos of properties (a lovely then and now perspective), Sanika helped us get a fresh gaze on Bandra. She's also the reason when I spot Santa Cruz on train travel, I immediately have a historical reference to the name now! I'd definitely recommend Mumbai Dream Tours and a walk with Sanika to discover more of the city I call home ❣️

Bandra is so interesting - The tour was so informative. Akanksha was such a good tour guide. She lead us through how Bandra went from a sleepy fishing village to a thriving creative community while holding on to key elements of its historic past. I highly recommend.

Saw a side of Bandra I did not know existed - I did the Bandra walking tour in April 2024 with Akanksha as my guide. We started at St. Andrew’s church and ended at Mt. Mary exploring several places along the way. It was fun and informative at the same time. Would highly recommend to those trying to learn more about the history of the Bandra. To quote the guide “Bandra is more than just bakeries and cafés, it’s also fish and nets”. You’ll know why I said this when you take the tour ;)
