We can’t recommend this tour (and this guide!) highly enough — five stars just don’t seem like enough!

  The most wonderful experience with Nasreen!!  - We had the absolute pleasure of spending the day in Mumbai with Nasreen (Nas) Mehta, and she was truly amazing! From the moment we met her, Nas was full of... read more energy, warmth, and humour, instantly making us feel like we were exploring the city with a dear friend rather than a guide.

  An eye opening sensory experience  - We loved the Mumbai by Dawn tour. The guide Nimisha was very knowledgable about the city and the commercial aspects we visited, as well as giving wider context around Indian... read more society and how the city operates. Shoe covers provided for the 530am fish market were most appreciated! We highly recommend this tour.

  Great tour of the markets of Mumbai  - This is a fantastic tour to be able to see a different side of Mumbai. The vegetable and flower markets were particular highlights!

  Wonderful day in Mumbai  - This tour is great to see lots of different aspects of Mumbai! Harini was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. Would recommend!

  Super Fun Day Tour in Mumbai  - What an incredible day exploring Mumbai! From start to finish, Nas made the whole experience unforgettable. She was friendly, funny, and made sure our family felt safe and comfortable the... read more entire time, even in the middle of the city’s lively crowds.

We saw so many amazing sights in just one day, the iconic Gateway of India, the fascinating Dhobi Ghat where we watched the traditional laundry work, and even the historic High Court. The train ride from the beautiful old station was such a fun glimpse into daily life here.

The Bollywood dance class with Nas was definitely a highlight, we all had such a laugh and even picked up a few moves! It was the perfect mix of culture, history, and pure fun.

Highly recommend this tour and Nas to anyone visiting Mumbai, you’ll see so much, have a great time, and feel completely looked after the whole way through.

  Great Idea, bad execution - We experienced the tour with a considerable safety risk. The guide rarely turned around to see if we're still there. If you have Western tourists participate in Mumbai traffic on... read more an unprotected bike, at least watch out for them. The bikes were not safe either: No lights, no reflectors, no bell. Mine was too small for me so I had to hang on the back of my saddle.
Content-wise it reminded more of a history lesson with a middle school teacher who keeps on checking your knowledge of historical events. We would have appreciated more contemporary information on how locals pass their evenings in Mumbai etc, on top of the historical context (which I can find myself on Wikipedia).
The price of approx. 50€ per person is not only unjustified, but absolutely outrageous, given the condition of the equipment and the quality of the service.
It's very unfortunate, because I love the concept/idea of this tour, but execution needs to be fundamentally reworked.

  A real "behind the scenes" perspective. Lively and chaotic in all the best ways.  - Really wish we started our trip with this tour. It gives such fantastic insight into the rhythms of the city as Mumbai begins to wake up. Best tip is to... read more embrace the chaos, take it all in with curiosity and wonder and it will be quite experience. Batul was a fantastic guide - I will definitely recommend this to my friends.

  Street food without fear  - Heer has curated an important street food tour for both a taste and historical relevance focus. All vendors have been checked for good sanitation levels and filtered water. ... read more We even drank, for the first time, the poured water with no repercussions.

We couldn't even eat from every place she wanted to take us to. Too much food, but she understood and all decisions were ours. It was a lot of fun and due to her perfect English, we learned a lot. A driver is necessary.

  5 senses of fun  - Heer is a knowledgeable guide who speaks perfect English, is always smiling and knows her way around town. The 5 sense tour she put together for us was so... read more much fun. From the Bollywood dancing lesson (you might think this is hokey and you don't want to do it, but trust me, it was a blast), to the spice market where your sinuses will open up and to a nouveaux Indian sensational lunch experience.
Heer works hard to make you happy and she succeeds in doing so.

  Great experience  - We had the best tour ever!
Meherban Irani is an expert for Indish culture - very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us we would never found anywhere... read more else.
He organised everything perfectly.
The driver was a very good driver and also really friendly

  Amazing morning in Mumbai!  - I particularly loved going to see the laundry area where the clothes were being washed. It was fascinating. My guide Nas was so knowledgeable and kept me entertained throughout the... read more morning. We got to see many beautiful buildings - stunning architecture and I loved walking through the Gandhi museum. A very entertaining and educational morning. The personal touch was amazing. Thank you Nas for a great experience!

  The Chit ‘chat’ Chaat tour - Wonderful walk with a knowledgeable and friendly guide (KP). Each stop on the ‘chaat tour’ was yummy and memorable, with lots of history and stories woven into the gastronomic experience.... read more Beyond that, got to visit two famous old temples and see buildings that are part of Mumbai city’s vast history. What made the whole trip even more exceptional was the informal atmosphere created by KP, and the lovely group, with each of us bonding over food and history.

  Learnt a lot whilst having fun.  - Adaptable, flexible, knowledgeable, intelligent and smart! What an enjoyable and fun day we had. A wonderful variety of activities. Highly recommended.

  A must do in Mumbai  - I have already done one tour with Tvishi, so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. One of her talents is that she is sensitive to her clients' needs, and she... read more suggested this tour and I couldn't have been more delighted.

I was the only tourist in the village but was not stared at as I have been elsewhere, and the people are very friendly, offering information before we even asked.

This is real Mumbai, a village in a city, and highlights how much it's a city of contrasts.

I thoroughly recommend this tour as an incredibly authentic experience and if you are lucky enough to have Tvishi, you will get a local's insight, she was a mine of information, not just on Worli but also local and Indian customs and culture, answering every question I asked.

Thank you Tvishi, my new bestie in Mumbai 💕

  Well Worth the Early Start  - An 0515 pick up was something of an early start, but the tour that followed was totally worth that.
Starting in the extraordinary fish market, then moving onto other key... read more markets and showcasing a completely different side to Mumbai, the tour was an absolute highlight of our first visit to a wonderful city.
Our guide Batul was informative and engaging and a lot of fun.
Highly, highly recommended

  Well worth getting up early for  - Wonderful experience. It was great to see how Indian people really live and work. I wasn’t sure about going to the fish market but it was amazing, really interesting. Also... read more loved the fruit market and the flower market. Well worth getting up early for. I would thoroughly recommend this tour. Krupesh, Adi and TVish were all amazing.

  Kalbadevi food walk is a treat for the belly and the brain  - The diverse flavors, textures, and backgrounds of the vegetarian dishes we sampled on No Footprints’ “Chit Chaat” walking tour of Kalbadevi would’ve been a delightful enough experience all by themselves.... read more But the food was also an enriching window into the culture, markets, and religious rituals of this bustling neighborhood, thanks to the cheerful expertise of our guide, KP, who tirelessly answered our many questions and opened our eyes to many more layers of history than we could’ve discovered in our own. We highly recommend his services!

  Highly recommended  - Ash was an amazing and knowledgeable Guide. Together with Ram the driver , we were shown the hustle and bustle of the fish market first followed by the fruit/veg and... read more flower markets. We also saw how the newspapers are sorted and distributed. Ash really brought everyday life in Mumbai into focus for us. What an experience! Highly recommended.

  You must we Mumbai with Heer! - Heer was our guide in Mumbai. We had an amazing tour of the city with her. She is one the best guides we have ever had, and we... read more have gone on custom tours throughout the world. She is very personable, pleasant, respectful. She was always on time and always ready to share her knowledge about Mumbai, the rest of India and its history. If she wasn't able to answer a question, she didn't bluff. She researched the question and told us the answer the next time we saw her. When we had special requests, she always made time in our schedule for them.

Heer's English is PERFECT. She may be Indian, but she speaks like a well-educated American with no accent.

Heer is such a lovely person. She was always fastidious. We really hated to say goodbye.

  A fascinating history lesson in Mumbai  - We had a great experience mostly due to our wonderful guide Aman Wallis who regaled us with such interesting stories and made the history of Mumbai come alive . Due... read more to circumstances, we couldn’t complete the whole tour but learnt more in a few hours than we ever thought possible .

  Great way to experience street food  - We booked this tour after joining the company for their Mumbai by dawn tour. We love food and had booked lovely restaurants for our stay in Mumbai but looked longingly... read more at the street vendors wondering how their wares tasted but were very hesitant to eat anywhere without knowing the food safety standards and didn’t have any friends in the city to guide us. So we pounced on the chance to get a tour. We went to a range of small restaurants and hole in the wall places. There was a great variety of street food of good quality. Our guide KP was great and tempted us with new morsels long past what we thought was our eating capacity. Beyond the food we had a good time going to different parts of the city and hearing about the communities associated with the food. Strongly recommend

  Fascinating experience  - This tour was recommended by our hotel. It was a fascinating insight into Mumbai. We visited the fish market at the docks, newspaper sorting, the vegetable market and flower market.... read more It was not a tour where you sit in a bus and look at monuments. It a completely immersive experience. Sights, sounds, a taste of fruit or tea, smells from fish to flowers. It was amazing how walking some of the same streets later was a completely different experience as the first shift had ended and it was on to a different batch of people and purposes. Our guide KP was warm and friendly and a weaver of stories. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that we would highly recommend.

  A taste of India….in an evening.  - Hotel pick and transport from provider to provider in a nice minibus. We visited some food stalls and some restaurants all of them serving authentic original and different specialities. Namy... read more was great guide, she knows most of the destinations really well so you can avoid the inevitable long queues at these great places. Highly recommended.

  A fun, educational, and captivating look into Mumbai - My family and I had an absolute blast on our day tour of Mumbai highlights with No Footprints. Our guide Heer was extremely knowledgeable, full of life, kind, and accommodating.... read more Highly recommend Heer as a tour guide as we all learned a lot. We had a good mix of walking and driving and were able to see many sights (including Gateway to India and Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus) and also partake in some fun activities like drinking sugarcane juice and doing a Bollywood workshop. We even ended up extending our tour by a few more hours because we were having so much fun! 10/10 experience. We all love Mumbai now.

  Good  - Highly recommended. The staff especially Mr. Amit, Mr. Kishor and Mr. Vineet were highly supportive and approachable.

  Fabulous!  - Namrata led us on an amazing street food tour in Mumbai. She took us to places we would never have been brave enough to go ourselves, and probably would have... read more never found on our own.

The food itself was all vegetation, and interesting.
We tried a wide variety of items, all street food, surrounded (and watched) by local people.

The best bit for me though, was Namrata herself. Communication before/after was great, she was very welcoming and friendly, she gave us options as the tour progressed, and we also had a lot of non-food chit chat.

  Colonial city tour of Mumbai - The tour gave us a good insight into the history of Mumbai and the various buildings and key influencers in the development of the city. Again our guide Meherban painted... read more a picture of the city, its history, the key people and conflicts past and present in the area. We saw a lot of different areas of the city, each with its own unique story!

  A truly fun, unforgettable experience. Don’t miss it!  - We enjoyed this Mumbai by Dawn tour so much the first time we came to Bombay that we couldn’t resist sharing it with more friends this time around. The original... read more “Mumbai by Dawn” tour from No Footprints is not to be missed.

If you are already upside down from a huge time difference getting up for this 5:15am tour is the perfect treat for the senses. And even if you don’t like getting up early, find a way to make it happen as you will see, hear, taste & smell the genuine local Mumbai experience like you can no other way!

Our experienced guide, Adi, along with Shruti and our highly skilled driver took us on a tour we will not soon forget. From the famed fishing docks, to vibrant and bustling fruit & vegetable markets, on to early am newspaper routing by bicycle couriers, and finally the oh so colorful flower markets were all expertly described in perfect English with two delightful guides who kept us safe and having all kinds of fun. Adi has a great sense of humor, and his knowledge of the local ways and customs was fascinating to hear, see and experience so directly it was quite astonishing indeed! Especially so for the four of us fresh off the plane from the states. He was also most helpful with photo taking, and his microphone-amplifier made it very easy to hear and understand over the delightful chaos that swirled all around us during the tour. By the way, we were back in time for breakfast around 8:00 at our hotel, and had time for a refreshing long nap before enjoying the rest of the day on our own.

Thanks again Adi!

  Abhi and Tvishi were great guides! The tour of the fishery, the newspapers, the produce, and flower markets were wonderful

It got us out of the hotel restaurants and was well worth it. Highly recommend!

  We did an amazing visit of the fisherman village of Worli in Mumbai for an afternoon . I highly recommend!
