Off the Beaten Track in Mumbai: Private City Tour

Kiran was an outstanding guide and host. Good English and very knowledgeable about Cochin and Mumbai. Took us to interesting places off the beaten toursist track as well as the major sites. Recommended excellent local venues for genuine Indian food at lunch time. Car and driver also excellent with air conditioning. Would definitely contact Kiran again on future visits to this part of the world. Very highly recommended!

This was one of our best tours ever. I'm reposting this, but our trip was actually in December 2019. We’ve traveled around the world and have used WithLocals many times, but this tour with Kiran was the best ever. We were docked at the cruise port overnight and we met Kiran as soon as we arrived. He was waiting right outside the gate as promised, which really makes its comforting when coming to a new country. We were off to a great start, and spent the next eight hours taking in all that this incredible city has to offer. Mumbai was nothing like we expected, and in one day, we saw mor then we ever had expected. What was really nice too, was Kiran had a driver with him, so we were able to hop out at a site, and he was right there waiting when we we done. Stopping at the Railway station first was a great move, and then on to some of the best sites in Mumbai. At every stop we were explained the history and details of each, and were fascinated with the passion and knowledge that Kiran has. He knows so many people as well, even in these crowded places, which makes visiting these places much easier. Some of our favorites were Mahatma Gandhi’s home, the old Morgan David Synagogue, the open food market with food stands galore, and the Overall Best stop was in the fishing village among the slums, located directly on the beach, and having Masala Chai tea with a local family there. PRICELESS ! You would never get to do anything like this on a normal tour or without someone like Kiran. If I could have booked him for another day, I gladly would have paid him double. It was that good. If you are looking for your best tour ever, this is one not to miss. WithLocals never disappoints, and we love using them wherever possible. This tour was a Ten. Just do it!

We had been to Mumbai 2 years ago and wanted to see some different sites . Kiran has the day planned out well . We visited Kenhari caves which is outside if the city. Buddhist caves from first century. Located in a national park outside of Mumbai. Interesting stops along the way including Dharavi slums (although we had a more extensive tour last trip ) . Other stops included dhobi ghat (our request) . Overall a good day and an enthusiastic guide.
