About Tour Guide Shailesh J.
Namaste
My name is Shailesh and I have lived in Mumbai all my life. When I was young I used to play in the open fields and mess around down by my local stream with my friends. I used to cycle down all the local lanes, places that I take you on my tours even now, off the beaten track and a chance to see Bollywood city.
My tours are very flexible and completely built to suit you. I drive to beautiful local places and tourist places and we frequently stop to take photographs and to walk around and also visit amazing market towns to stop for a bit of window shopping or just to admire the architecture. In between, we drive through amazing countryside and at lunchtime how about a traditional Indian meal for a pint and a bite to eat, or maybe a traditional afternoon tea?
These are exclusive tours just for you and your party. Not only do I do one-day tours but as many as you would like, just let me know what interests you have and I can compose a tour for you each day.
Depending on the duration of the tour days (more than one day), I can collect you from airports and Mumbai as well as any hotel you may be in the Mumbai and take you on one of these beautiful tours.
I look forward to our experience together
