Day Trips From in Mumbai

It was our first time travelling to India, my brother and I. Not sure what to expect as not many family/ friend has travelled to that country. Kiran was kind enough to explain, reply and advise us even before we confirmed his service. We met Kiran on our first morning in Mumbai where we’ve planned to travel in one of his many itineraries. He came with his car to ferry us around the outskirts of Mumbai. His calm and pleasant demeanour is the total opposite of Mumbai traffic, which is exactly what you need. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a local to bring them around Mumbai. Will definitely engage Kiran if we’re travelling to Mumbai again.

Do not miss this opportunity to have an Kiran provide you with unparalleled service. You truly will not find a better way to see Mumbai. Kiran’s tour included a private car and driver which allowed immediate access to all of the sites - no need to find parking or for walking from parking or public transit to sites. Kiran’s a lifelong Mumbai resident and his knowledge is impeccable. He was informative about the sites we ever seeing, but also about the life and culture. He was genuine in every regard. Kiran showed me the suburb tour with the fascinating Kanheri Caves, the lifestyle of the locals living within the park, then as it was Sunday with reduced traffic, Kiran was kind enough to also show me the Global Vipassana Pagoda and the Village of Gorai on the Northwestern part of the Island of Salsette on the Arabian Sea. There in what was originally a Portuguese Settlement we stopped by a local home, a boat manufacturer, and Gorai Beach. We finished out the day with a stop at Kiran’s home where I met his wife and daughter who joined us on the last stop to Basillica of our Lady of the Mount Mary. I am confident there is no other way to see as much and learn as much about Mumbai as you will on his tour. I was so impressed and we hit it off so well that he also guided me on city sites. Please, please, please consider Kiran and his tour if you want a top notch, first class, and dare I say PERFECT experience!!!

After a long exhausting work week (having only seen the insides of conference rooms and hotel ballrooms), I had one day free before I departed. As a first time business traveler (and single female traveler) to Mumbai who spoke no Hindi, I yearned to see the non-touristy, off the beaten track heartbeat of one of India's metropolitan cities. After googling and reviewing my tour options from countless companies, I stumbled across Kiran and his genuine reviews from far and wide travelers on With Locals and booked a tour. From my very first inquiry (days before) to the time he and his driver dropped me off at the end of the day, his communication was exceptional via WithLocals as well as on WhatsApp. He was able to customize my tour to satisfy my curiosity to both the city, suburbs and the sprawling jungle. His driver navigated the street traffic chaos and back streets like a pro. In one day, I saw everything from the humbling humanity and pride in one of the world's largest slums to the colorful swaying rhythm of clothes drying in the open air laundry mat to the smiles of children in the tribal settlements on the city's outskirts to the timeless zen and photo ready grinning packs of monkeys in a hillside hidden labyrinth of 1BC Buddhist caves in the national park. If you're seeking to explore unseen Mumbai, with a guide of encyclopedic knowledge of history, culture and cuisine, book a tour with Kiran. His artistic talents, gentle nature, genuine honesty, compassion and local native expertise is unmatched and by the end, he'll feel more like an old friend than a tour guide. If I'm ever back in India for business, I wouldn't hesitate to book another journey with Kiran.

We had a wonderful time with Kiran, he is a very knowladge man, with a BIG heart and a a huge passion for all the things he does, we coulnd't enjoy Mumbai more than with Kiran. He took us to very special places where you would never go as a tourist. We were doing a cruise so he thought about were to take us first in order to maximaize our time in the city. We are so happy to say he is now our friend and we highly recommend him for whatever you want to do in Mumbai, and why not? In other places in India because we know he knows a lot of places besides Mumbai and a he is very popular in a lot of places...that tells you so much about his personality. Thank you Kiran you are the best!
