Namaste My name is Shailesh and I have lived in Mumbai all my life. When I was young I used to play in the open fields and mess around down by my local stream with my friends. I used to cycle down all the local lanes, places that I take you on my tours even now, off the beaten track and a chance to see Bollywood city. My tours are very flexible and completely built to suit you. I drive to beautiful local places and tourist places and we frequently stop to take photographs and to walk around and also visit amazing market towns to stop for a bit of window shopping or just to admire the architecture. In between, we drive through amazing countryside and at lunchtime how about a traditional Indian meal for a pint and a bite to eat, or maybe a traditional afternoon tea? These are exclusive tours just for you and your party. Not only do I do one-day tours but as many as you would like, just let me know what interests you have and I can compose a tour for you each day. Depending on the duration of the tour days (more than one day), I can collect you from airports and Mumbai as well as any hotel you may be in the Mumbai and take you on one of these beautiful tours. I look forward to our experience together 1) Master in Tourism Management from University of Westminster, London 2) Maharashtra State Tour Guide License 3) Tourist Facilitator from the Ministry of Tourism None
