Tourist sights of South Mumbai - Great way to see the sights of Mumbai. Rahil was very accommodating and took us to see the tourist sights we had shortlisted. He's a lovely, knowledgeable guide and eager to make sure we were safe, happy and enjoying the excursion. We ate lunch at Cafe Metro and enjoyed a delicious curry accompanied by fleshly made garlic butter naan. I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Mumbai for the 1st time.

Wonderful day in Mumbai with Sho! - 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!

100% recommended and here’s why - 100% recommended as a solo female traveler in Mumbai! Thanks to Rahil and the crew (Roosh) for giving me a wonderful city tour. I had a truly mazing experience and here’s why! Responsive communications and flexible same-day reservation: I landed in Mumbai and checked in late afternoon at my hotel. Last minute, I decided to do a tour. Rahil and his crew responded within a couple minutes after I reached out. Communication was clear and they were super helpful from the get-go. They were able to arrange a city tour at night for me that started in 45 minutes! Pleasant company that made me felt safe: As a solo female traveler, I felt safe with Rahil and the team throughout my tour. Roosh picked me up at my hotel on time and had been a very pleasant and comfortable company. After dinner I later met Rahil, who did the wonderful tour for me. I also cannot count how many times they helped me with the traffic and just navigating the city in general. Customized itinerary: The tour covered major sightseeing spots in Mumbai and beyond, with things that I mentioned I was interested in seeing. They answered all the questions I had and even shared insights as actors and crew members in Bollywood! Heartfelt gestures: I saw on the brochure that lunch will be included and asked a couple times whether dinner was included if the tour started at night. They immediately picked up cues and customized the tour so that I could eat first, without me even asking for it. We passed by a flower market during our tour. I mentioned maybe I should try to pickup a bouquet for my friends that are getting married. To my surprise, after I picked one, they gifted me the bouquet as a kind gesture. There are multiple occasions like these that made me felt Rahil and the team were more than professional, but also very thoughtful, considerate, and experienced tour guides. TLDR: I would recommend Rahil and his teams! They really went above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing time!

Private Mumbai City Tour is the way to go - We usually book shore excursions through the cruise ship. This private Mumbai City tour had so many advantages over that. Our guide was wonderful and took us so many places! Devroop knows Mumbai well and showed us a wonderful variety of sights, and was very well informed, easy to understand, and all around delightful. The private tour with driver and guide gave us so much flexibility to stop and jump out of the car and visit places things-- Devroop would even take our photo. Then the driver would be right there to meet us to move on to the next stop with no worries about parking in the crowded city traffic (which our driver navigated smoothly and professionally). We loved the restaurant where we stopped for lunch. We saw and enjoyed so much more than we could have in a bus tour. What a great day in Mumbai!

Incredible experience! - Outstanding!!! WOB India Tours far surpassed any expectations I had. Sanya was the best tour guide - knowledgeable, thorough, and even patient with all my questions. We covered a lot of Mumbai but never felt rushed. I learned so much more than the basic tourist information. As a single, older, woman traveller I felt safe everywhere we went. I highly recommend this tour group! Thank you, WOB India Tours!

Mumbai has so much - Listening to friends and reading about Mumbai before my visit, I realised how many interesting sites needed to be visited. This tour was a great fit. Rahil was my guide and he was so good at adapting ( I was running late but he simply adjusted times to suit me), explaining and keeping me entertained..even in traffic. There are so many highlights including the Dhobi Ghat and the lunch delivery guys, the Dabbawalas. Rahil knew them all and I soon found myself mingling with them and their packages. VT Railway Station (it has a new name now) and other colonial buildings together with the homes of the rich and famous appeared everywhere along with information. The list of sites goes on and on and thankfully no shopping stops but welcome chai and a very good lunch with local people. All was delivered with sensitivity and a very welcome sense of humour. Another wonderful day to remember.

So much fun; go at night - I went at night; it was cooler and the lights made for great photos. The driver and guide arrived on time to my hotel for pick up. The car was clean, cool and the driver was patient and skilled. My guide/mumbai host was amazing, talented and a fun person to hang with on this tour. There were so many things that we did and saw. My favorites: fire pan at the beach; street food snack; walk through spice market; gateway of India and a walk through the Taj hotel. We ate dinner at Cafe Metro. The food was great. My guide knows so much about the city, the culture and the sites. I only recommend if you want to have fun at a fair tour price.

Lovely Mumbai - My mom and I visited and had Sanya as a tour guide. She is friendly and thoughtful , getting us fruit and a magnet, sharing insights about the culture, and offering to take many photos. She stayed 4 hours after the tour ended and was keeping us company at the mall. Sanya ensured we got to the cruise terminal safely. The lunch was a highlight, we were able to order whatever we wanted and each dish was amazing. We highly recommend any tour with Sanya!
