“We had an amazing time on this tour. Shuaib and JQ picked us up from our hotel and handled all the transportation for the day so we could focus on seeing the sights. Shuaib was our guide and was very knowledgeable about the Kanheri Caves and the Golden Pagoda. His commentary on the trip added so much information that we would not have know if we were to visit these places on our own. It was great to have a local with us and Shuaib was a better guide than we ever could have expected. I recommend that anyone visiting Mumbai book this activity!”
