"We really appreciated Ritesh professionalism and knowledge of Mumbai's neighbourhoods and history! We had a wonderful day going around the city's neighbourhoods based on Ritesh's recommendations, and also apprecite the flexibility of the itinerary where it was possible to add stops based on our own interests. "

"We had a perfect and personalized tour. We saw the places in a relaxed tempo that were perfect in the hot weather. We could easily adjust our tour, if we wanted to change anything. We got all information needed about the places we saw but also the stories ”behind”. Interesting!"

"We had an incredible time seeing Mumbai with Purvi! She was the most amazing guide and she took us to some incredible spots, including a fabulous food vendor area on the beach which was delicious! She adapted the tour to include a few sites we really wanted to see such as the High Court and gave us some great suggestions on how to spend the rest of our time in Mumbai. Even though we only had the one day in this fascinating city, I’m so glad we spent these 5 hours on this tour with Purvi, we saw so much and left feeling like we had seen Mumbai’s highlights and had a taste of the feel of the city. We 100% recommend this tour and Purvi!"

"Exploring Dharavi with Shrikanth was one of the most meaningful and eye-opening experiences I’ve had in Mumbai. What struck me most was how thoughtfully and respectfully this tour was conducted. At no point did it feel exploitative or voyeuristic. Instead, it felt deeply human — centered on dignity, entrepreneurship, resilience, and community. Shrikanth was exceptional. His passion for Dharavi, its people, and its stories came through in every conversation and every street we explored together. He helped me understand Dharavi not through stereotypes, but through the lens of innovation, aspiration, artistry, and humanity. His love for photography added another beautiful layer to the experience, helping me slow down and truly see the life, color, texture, and energy surrounding us. What many outsiders misunderstand as simply a “slum” is, in reality, one of the most industrious and entrepreneurial communities in the world. The creativity and determination found within Dharavi are extraordinary. Walking through its neighborhoods, workshops, studios, and small businesses completely reframed my understanding of urban community, survival, and economic ingenuity. Most importantly, Shrikanth guided this experience with kindness, care, emotional intelligence, and authenticity. He made me feel welcomed, safe, informed, and connected throughout the journey. It genuinely felt less like a tour and more like being invited into the heartbeat of a community by someone who deeply loves and respects it. If you are visiting Mumbai and want an experience that challenges assumptions, expands perspective, and leaves you reflecting long after it ends, I cannot recommend this tour — and especially Shrikanth — highly enough."

"I’ve started off my time in Mumbai through “The 10 Tastings of Mumbai Street Food Adventure” — and I cannot recommend Piyush highly enough. From the moment we met, it felt less like a tour and more like reconnecting with a longtime friend who genuinely wanted me to experience the heart and soul of his city. Piyush, an MBA graduate with an extraordinary passion for food and people, curated an evening filled with unforgettable flavors, hidden local gems, and moments of genuine connection. He took me to places I would have never found on my own — vibrant local spots where Mumbaikars actually gather to eat, laugh, and experience life together. Every stop felt intentional, every dish came with a story, and every flavor seemed to unlock a deeper understanding of Mumbai itself. What made this experience truly exceptional, though, was Piyush himself. He was kind, attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly welcoming throughout the evening. He paid attention to my comfort, answered every question with enthusiasm, and shared his city with such pride and authenticity that it made the experience unforgettable. I want to say this clearly: this was not just a food tour. It was a gift. Yes, I walked away having experienced some of the best food I’ve ever had — but more importantly, I walked away feeling welcomed into Mumbai with warmth and humanity. In many ways, I feel like I also left with a new friend. If you are visiting Mumbai, book with Piyush. Come hungry, come curious, and let him show you the city through the lens of food, culture, and genuine human connection. You will leave full in every possible way."

"Ritesh was an excellent guide. He suggested we meet early in the morning before the day got really hot. Our tour was well worth the early start. I got to see the historic sites of Mumbai that I most wanted to see. Along the way, I learned a lot about Mumbai’s social history and culture. Thanks to Ritesh I feel like I really got to see Mumbai (rather than only the inside of the hotel where my conference took place)! "

"I had an absolut blast. Piyush adapted his tour to all my interests and was so happy to tik all the personal bucket list items off in one day. We visited a mix of street food stalls and restaurants, experienced daily mumbai life, architecture, tempels,using a mix of public and private transport. Great views and smells to remember. "

"Great tour with Gautam- saw some unseen things and learnt some history. "

"It was an eye-opener for my husband and I. Purvi is a person of the world who has travelled widely, making her very easy to relate to. We did not run out of things to talk about. The entire walk felt like a conversation with a long-time friend showing us her beloved hometown. If we had not booked this tour with her, we would have missed out on a lot of the best spots Mumbai has to offer. Thank you Purvi for making us want to keep coming back."

"Great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. Flexible on timings and highly recommended "
