My husband and I were first-time visitors to India. We went as part of a cruise and docked in 4 ports on the west coast of India. Knowing little of what to expect, Mumbai was a revelation. We were impressed by the architecture of many buildings, a legacy from the British. Our private tour guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. The driver was a kind and courteous gentleman. I highly recommend this full-day private tour.
