Very enjoyable !!
J3861, Feb 2026
A very enjoyable tour with Chirag. We had arrived early AM from the UK and wanted an afternoon tour for just 2-3 hours This tour hit the spot ! Various street food stalls, foody and textiles markets, a hindu temple and a cow sanctuary . It was a local holiday Saturday and Chirag escorted us carefully through the throngs of shoppers and the vehicles which peeped incessantly . At the end he found us a taxi and called later to make sure we reached our hotel safely . We would definitely recommend Chirag and this tour although for some a quieter midweek day might be less hectic !!

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’m glad the shorter afternoon tour suited you well after your early arrival. I’m happy you enjoyed the street food, markets, temple, and the cow shelter visit, even with the lively weekend crowds. I always try to make sure guests feel comfortable and safe throughout the experience, so I’m glad you appreciated the assistance with the taxi and follow-up. Thank you also for your recommendation — and yes, weekdays are definitely a bit calmer! I hope to see you again on your next visit to Mumbai.
Such a great time!

We had a blast with Bala! He brought just the right energy and pace, thoughtfully weaving us through Mumbai-blending history, life, architecture, culture and food in a way that struck the right note. We loved every second!

This is my 3rd food tour in Mumbai - I’m here a lot for work - and Chirag’s tour was by a country mile the best I’ve ever been on. You’ll do more steps than on your average tour but at a very leisurely pace and Chirag peppers the walk with amazing insight from a local about life for the average Mumbaikar. 100% recommended.
Response from Host, Sept 2025

Chirag - what a guide!! From start to finish, this is a brilliant tour from a man who is incredibly knowledge, friendly about his city. Shows parts of Mumbai that you are so unlikely to go as a regular tourist and I couldn't recommend him more!
