I had an interesting and informative tour provided by Pankaj. He was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of information not just about the architectural landmarks, but also about the history of Mumbai. In addition, he was friendly and helpful, and could answer all my questions. I recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in knowing more about Mumbai.

This was an outstanding way of exploring the heritage of Mumbai. Our guide Pankaj was brilliant and brought alive the 200 years of colonial period. We saw great buildings in Gothic and Art Deco style. Nowhere else have I seen such a variety in architecture styles. An excellent way of spending 3 hours in Mumbai.

Great guide and walking tour

We loved our walking tour with Pankaj who was a generous, well informed and interesting guide to Mumbai. We covered all the main sights and gained insights into life in Mumbai. Pankaj happily and generously answered our questions about Mumbai’s history, culture, politics and life in Mumbai, which added to our visit enormously . Thank you so much -a great tour
