5.00We are so lucky to have had Hanna as our guide. Jewish Mumbai came alive. She also took us to the outdoor laundry & we saw the lunchbox distribution. Hanna is a wonderful guide sharing interesting & relevant stories. We needed some information for our next stop to Udaipur and Hanna didn’t hesitate to help. She went above & beyond and truly is wonderful.
Great tour!

5.00Joshua was the most amazing tour guide and made my first trip to India so memorable. He is so knowledgeable about Indian culture and history and explains everything in the most engaging way. Beyond his intelligence and organization, Joshua is an incredible person and you can tell how passionate he is about what he does. His heart and soul shines through at all times. Anyone planning a trip to Mumbai would be silly not to choose Joshua as their guide.
The best experience!!!!!

5.00Hanna did an outstanding job of showing the cultural sites of Mumbai, including the Jewish sites on the itinerary and peppering in aspects of the city that were not to be missed. I felt very immersed during the tour, and would highly recommend it to others considering

5.00We had a fantastic tour especially because the tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. We toured four Synogogues and a kosher kitchen. We also went to the Taj Palace hotel, the India Gate, and the Dobi Ghat outdoor laundry.. the vehicle was very comfortable despite Mumbai’s very bumpy roads, and the driver was very good. This was a thumbs up tour.
Most impressive/reliable/meaningful tour experience!

5.00I have never posted a review on Tripadvisor, but I feel beyond compelled to do so for this company. The tour, the tour guide, the driver, and the representative who coordinated/booked my reservation far exceeded any expectations (and hopes) that I had. As a NYC resident, I am familiar with skepticism in any/all services. Additionally, I understand the passion behind and importance of enabling visitors meaningful and fun-filled experiences in one's city. My husband and I were traveling via cruise ship to Mumbai. We were interested in learning about and seeing the Jewish-related sites as well as the historical and modern Mumbai sites. I was connected via WhatsApp to our tour guide (Hanna) in advance of arriving in Mumbai. I provided an approximate time of arrival; if the ship was delayed, I certainly did not want the tour guide waiting unnecessarily for us. The ship actually arrived early. To my absolute surprise, the guide and driver were already waiting for us at the pier! In fact, the tour guide has special privileges and certifications that enabled her to collect us at the ship terminal. In doing so, we avoided a 2-hour delay (other passengers had to travel by bus to an immigration depot). We were escorted in the car to the proper immigration location. The driver and guide also had water for us in the car. Once our tour officially began, the conversation flowed all day! Hanna shared so much wisdom about each and every place and each and every historical fact and figure. Her knowledge coupled with her warmth made for a most memorable day. The day went so smoothly, given that the driver waited for us at each location. We were able to quickly and efficiently move from place to place because Hanna and the driver coordinated meeting spots directly outside/in front of every place we visited. It came as no surprise that as we walked about the city people stopped Hanna to greet her with a huge "hello!" She is a most friendly and kind person. She is clearly well-respected in the Jewish community AND throughout the city of Mumbai! Whether standing in a synagogue or amongst the thousands of individuals at the Gates of Mumbai, people ran to greet her (and hug her)! Hanna's depth of knowledge is most impressive; the professionalism of the company is unparalleled. Note: this tour company even provided suggestions to us related to other ports we were visiting after our time in Mumbai. The care extended to us transcended any business transaction--it was done with heart and genuine interest in creating a memorable and meaningful experience for us. Forever grateful to have connected with Hanna and her team! We look forward to staying in touch! If you have a trip planned to India (and or wherever else this company may provide service), I hope you have the opportunity to be in touch with Hanna and her colleagues; for certain, your trip will be elevated.

5.00Wow, truly one of the best guided tours I’ve ever done, anywhere! Hanna my guide was incredibly knowledgeable and fun, and flexible in adapting the tour to my preferences. The tour was truly fascinating. I almost didn’t book it and I’m so glad I did. If you’re on the fence, just book the tour with Hanna, you’ll be so glad you did!
