Experience City tours in the best of
Mumbai with Withlocals

"We booked this tour as we only had a couple of days in Mumbai and wanted to see as much as possible. Our host, Gautam, far exceeded our expectations in every way. He really is the perfect host - charming, knowledgeable, patient and great with the kids. He led us on a one-morning, whistle-stop tour of many of the most important highlights of Mumbai on foot and using both train and bus. We ticked more off our list of places to see in the city than we could have imagined possible in one delightful morning. Everything explained with great detail, insight and historical relevance. The most interesting for me being the Ghandi House, where he walked us through the whole fascinating history of that great man, which we never could have appreciated half as much were it not for his patient and succinct explanations of every small detail - even maintaining the attention of the kids, amazing! A no-brainer. Highly recommended!"

"Purvi was amazing. 10 out of 10! I've used guides all over the world and Purvi was engaging, easy to talk to and gave me a confidence that I did not have the other times I've come to Mumbai. I hired Purvi as a private guide - it was just she and I. The conversation flowed, we had an extended lunch picking each other's brain about the politics of our own countries, views on various social and financial world views. Purvi is very well informed about all sorts of topics (politics, social issues, finances / funding) which created great engagement: curiosity about each others' views and beliefs. It is really what made the 5 hours we spent together. I highly recommend Purvi - next time I have a day to kill in Mumbai she will be my only call."

"I had a fantastic experience on Chandramohan's Dharavi tour. It was incredibly interesting and gave me a much deeper understanding of the community, its history, and the many small businesses that make it such a vibrant place. Chandramohan was knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer questions, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. I left with a completely new perspective on Dharavi. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mumbai."

"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."

"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. "
