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.

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!
