10 City Tours in Mumbai That You Shouldn't Miss
Though Mumbai can feel chaotic and crowded, there are peaceful moments to be found here. Nibble a paper cone of bhelpuri while you stroll the sands of Chowpatty Beach. Then, take a short walk to Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi once lived, strategized, and was ultimately arrested. The markets are spirited places to bargain for spices or souvenirs.

We did this tour in Dec last year and to be honest when we booked it I was rather sceptical since it was one of the more expensive activities that my 14 year old daughter who loved Bollywood wanted to do. We had done a tour of India for 18 days and this was what we did as the last thing before we flew home to the UK. We just didn't know what to expect. However.we were most pleasantly surprised. Rahil is the epitome of professionalism. Him and his wife met us and we did a group tour with around 4 other people. We saw the filming of a famous TV serial, watched a dance show, got an insight into some of the sets they use and I even got to do a bit of singing in the recording studio! We were given snacks as we watched the dance show and made to feel most welcome. I have done the big Universal and Warner Brothers tours before and they were great .... this had the makings of something really good and we hope Rahil and his team the best of luck in making this a success.

We were on a long awaited holiday to Mumbai with our 12 year old son few months back. One of the main reasons we wanted to visit Mumbai was to do the Bollywood Tour and hopefully with luck on our side, meet our favourite actors and actresses. We were very lucky to find Mr. Rahil Khan through the excellent reviews of his company on Tripadvisor. We were not disappointed at all. When Mr. Rahil heard that how eager my wife and son were to meet the actors, within a short notice of few hours he organised the visit to the Studio for us. We could not believe that how easily Mr. Rahil got access for us to meet all the actors and actresses who all seemed to be good friends with him. (We later got to know that Mr. Rahil Khan is an actor and director himself). All the stars were very nice and were very happy to meet us and they agreed to take plenty of pictures with our family. This was the highlight and once in a lifetime experience for us which we will never forget. My son and wife were overjoyed. We also got to see live filming of a television show and web series, which was a very thrilling experience. The sound recording room and live dance show were great fun and very enjoyable. We were well looked after by WOB team who work in a dedicated and sincere manner to make sure that you have a great enjoyable day. We highly recommend the Bollywood Tour with Mr. Rahil Khan and his team. It is more than value for money. Thank you. Manish Sehgal.

My review isnt really for their tour and travel business but for the NGO these guys run for the people in Dharavi. I got to know through social media that Rahul works towards collecting things to be redistributed amongst the needy in Dharavi. He was absolutely fantastic in sharing information and arranging for the pickup. His team member Vishal helped in transporting the entire lot of items seamlessly. Well spoken and impressive team, working towards a great cause

The tour (Group or private) through the slum's narrow alleys is quite an adventure, and you will undoubtedly feel the strong sense of community and the unique spirit that exists here. Dharavi became famous through the worldwide hit movie “slumdog millionaire“ in 2008. You will find a wide range of activities in this mini-city such as plastic recycling, leatherwork, pottery, papadam baking, soap production, such as schools and churches. Don't expect to find extreme poverty by walking through Dharavi. The tour breaks stereotypical beliefs and will inspire you for your daily life. and Tour Guides are College students live in Dharavi Slum
