We had an absolutely fantastic time with Ritesh! He was so welcoming and accommodating (I was hobbling due to a broken toe), and we immediately knew that we were in the hands of a true expert in the city. Ritesh had thought of everything, and took us to so many fantastic spots. We loved getting to know Ritesh and Mumbai, and he definitely spent more time with us than originally planned, which was very generous! Massive thank you, Ritesh!! Ritesh is the best!

Ritesh took us on interesting journey through the south part of Mumbai. He gave us historical view of the city and took us to places that we never would think about without his guiding. Ritesh is nice, knowledgeable and have a very pleasant way of guiding around the city. Nice and knowledgeable guide

The tour was excellent, taking in local landmarks of where we’re staying, explaining the history of the area, but also discussing the culture and real life of greater Mumbai. It was great to have an opportunity to travel on the trains, to chat about India and the world at a juice stall, and have great places recommended for later in the stay (we tried Bademiya rolls! Excellent!!) Ritesh thank you so much for such an excellent tour! Make sure you go to El Salvador one day! 😄The real Mumbai

We were only in Mumbai for about 5 hours before this tour and Ritesh got the balance just right for us. He contacted us directly in advance to learn more about what we might like to see, and tailored our 3 hour walking experience perfectly for us. Ritesh’s English is v good and we connected well. A big thank you for giving us a real sense of everyday life for locals in Mumbai so effortlessly. I highly recommend looking up Ritesh for your tour. Mumbai tour - day 1

Although we only booked our excursion with Ritesh a day in advance, we were delighted that he responded immediately and communicated with us. He was good at estimating how much time we would need to get to the meeting point so that we could start our tour on time. And what a start - first a short train ride and then a wonderful tour on foot through the centre of South Mumbai in the area around the Gateway of India / Colaba. Rithesh is a guide who takes his time for the visitors of the city and imparts a lot of interesting facts, very interestingly told. Trustful smart and openminded guide, who laves to travel, too. Thank you Ritesh Awesome Experience !

Ritesh was a very friendly and knowledgable tour guide who responded to our wishes and tried to provide us with many great impressions of the city, even away from the typical tourist attractions. We had great conversations even on business and politics. Thanks again for your excellent guidance - we wish you much success with future projects, especially for those with a social background.Thanks for this interesting city tour!

If I could, I would give this experience an 11/10. Ritesh had the trip planned to perfection and the communication before meeting up was excellent/detailed. All logistics were in place and I only had to turn up and immerse myself into the experience. He was very flexible to change and accommodating to last minute changes. Ritesh organised a local train journey to and from the village which provided an authentic experience of travelling across Mumbai/Maharashtra. His local knowledge was superb, as well as his knowledge on India and global events. The conversations allowed for time to freely pass by! The campsite was well maintained and held an ambience of tranquility. The food was good and the staff were excellent! The trek up to mahuli fort and seeing the blue skies turn into a sky full of stars was unforgettable. Additionally, there was hardly any other tourist in site!! Kayaking through the river was also memorable as I never imagined I'd be foing that 60km away from Mumbai! Walking through the local village and having wood fire made tea at a village home was insightful. It provided another experience into local life outside of Mumbai. We regularly stopped for tea and got to discuss the history of each place and local ways, such as transport, healthcare, food, cultures and soforth! Ritesh is an excellent tour guide, very well organised and caters specifically to requirements. His indepth knowledge and openess provides a unique insight into India, as well as great company if travelling solo or in groups . Sound advise was also provided to my itenerary for exploring other areas in India. I would thoroughly recommend this tour if in Mumbai, it goes above and beyond the city itself and allows Indianto be seen from another (unforgettable) perspective. The campsite is good for just winding down and taking in nature, as well as a good spot to launch a trek across other regions of the western ghats!Great experience and superb company!

Ritesh is the kind of guide you want to work with. Group of four, we stayed in Mumbai for one week, doing research on cyclists’ exposure to pollution. Ritesh made sure to completely understand our very specific needs prior to our arrival. He organized transport from the airport to our accomodation, it went like a charm even if we had a lot of luggage. Then Ritesh gathered a team for our data collection, and from the start to the end, they all arrived on time and provided us with a service that met and exceeded all our expectations. On our day off, Ritesh also arranged a tour of the sightseeing places in Mumbai, which was very interesting. I highly recommend hiring Ritesh and his team.Amazing professionnal guide
