Friendly and informative. Well worth it - Raja gave us an excellent tour in the morning. We were picked up promptly from our hotel, he made sure we were in good time to catch the first boat over to elephant island, and that we had good seats on the boat. We learned about the local port and shipping, Hinduism, every possible part of the marvellous carved temple on the island. After we had been dropped off at our hotel for lunch, max picked us up for the afternoon tour of the dharavi slum area. It was fascinating. Again with a knowledgeable guide showing us how things work, the history, industries and people living there. Elephant island took 4 hours including boat rides. Dharavi was a little quicker as we decided to use the car to drive between each area. All admission fees were included.

Mumbai Day Trip - This was an all-day trip with Aziz, as guide, and a driver whose name I can’t remember now. This was to see multiple places in Mumbai of personal interest, which not many tourists request, and they got me to every site. Definitely recommend!

What a nice experience! - I didn't expect to find a guide so knowledgable about birds and plants, furthermore to find so many interesting of these objects in Mumbai. There was a lot of history, cultural aspects and nature to be found on the tour. I really enjoyed the variety of experience and the trip out to the caves. The guide for the caves was extremely knowledgable and passionate to provide insights.

Learned a lot about the history and religion on the island. - Great trip with Droan. Provided an excellent tour. He is very knowledgeable and a good communicator. We visited all the spots we wanted and he modified our tour to accommodate our interests. Ferry ride seemed longer than we expected perhaps because it was rather rustic. Nick was our guide for the Elephant caves. He was also excellent. Very friendly. He was great at suggesting photo opportunities and eagerly helped us get some fun special photos. He was very attentive to our needs. It was a hot day and the stairs were a bit challenging at times. (Cows, monkeys and crowds.) He helped us navigate the challenges and would find us a shady spot to catch our breaths when needed. Very knowledgeable of everything on the island.
