Over the last 5 years I have been doing Buddhist cave tours and culture walks in Mumbai which tell the story of the city. My favorite walk is the Gothic and Art Deco story of Mumbai.

Sanjay P.
Hello! I'm Sanjay, and I come from the lively city of Mumbai. I am passionate about travelling, cooking, photography, writing, digital arts, meditation, and storytelling. I really enjoy spending time with underprivileged slum childrens who don't have as much as others and teaching them basic education. I've been all over India as part of film crews, on solo tours, and with friends from countries like Germany, Japan, Canada, and Switzerland. For the past 16 years, I've been going on tours all around India, and it's been an amazing journey. I've learned so much from my own experiences and from listening to stories from other travelers. During my travels, I've met lots of people from different countries who've been exploring India for months, visiting all the famous cities and tourist spots. But many of them only knew about India from guidebooks like Lonely Planet. I was happy to meet them because it gave me a chance to share the real India—the stories, the culture, and the incredible things you won't find in guidebooks. This passion naturally led me to pursue a hobby as a tour guide. My love for being a tour guide extends beyond showcasing picturesque landscapes and iconic landmarks. It's about fostering cross-cultural understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating moments that transcend the ordinary. My Mumbai tour is dedicated to showcasing the rich cultural tapestry, history, architecture, bustling streets, and dynamic energy of Mumbai with an immersive and insightful.
Raj K.
My passion for traveling and exploring Indian destinations has led me to start my own guide business. I offer unique tours to explore the local culture, cuisines, traditions, and people of this city. Through this experience, I will help you understand the life of local people.

“Enjoyable day around Delhi”
We had a lovely day seeing and hearing the sights and sounds of Delhi. Sid was our guide and met us at our hotel. He was very attentive and helpful and clearly loves his job. We ended our trip by using the metro and he went to great lengths to explain how to use it. He was able to develop a lovely rapport with us and we enjoyed his company. He always made sure we were safe.
