Priya gave me an excellent 2-day tour of Mumbai several months ago. She was knowledgeable, pleasant and very contemporary. Recommended highly!

Hi, I'm Priya! I've lived in and loved Mumbai all of my life. I appreciate good food, a good book, animals, music, dancing, and loads of other stuff. I love travelling, and have been around quite a bit. . . seen India from corner-to-corner. I've lived in Sweden for a few months in Spring/Summer 2016 and been to parts of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Estonia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Egypt, the UAE, Kenya, South Africa, Mauritius, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, The Philippines and China. I've worked as a lifestyle journalist for 25+ years, including an eight-year stint with the Times of India, India's leading English-language daily. I was also the Editor of two parenting magazines for seven years and later headed a successful digital publication dedicated to travel and food, before I pursued my career in freelance writing (which I currently do). But, I still have enough time, energy and enthusiasm to help visitors to Mumbai find their groove. I would love to show you around my city! ABOUT MY TOURS Take one of my tours if you want to feel the REAL flavour of the city or get to a know a particular Mumbai neighbourhood. Think of me as a friend who will take you around her fave places, share a lot of interesting anecdotes and give you the lowdown on local haunts and habits. I can guide you on where to eat, shop, find a clean loo. . . basically everything you need to know to say that you really 'know' Mumbai! * A decade of serving up a slice of the real Mumbai to international guests. * 25+ years as a lifestyle journalist, I know my city and its people even better than the back of my hand. * Having extensively interviewed India's top historians, film actors, business tycoons, designers, chefs, doctors and individuals from many other walks of life, I will give you a unique perspective that few other people can! *As one of the leading writers on food and travel in Mumbai, I will lead you to the best culinary experiences, be it curated fine-dining or popular street eats. I don't do slum tours (on principle) or visits to the Elephanta island and caves (as these are meant to be conducted ONLY by guides certified by the Archaeologicsl Survey of india - ASI).

Priya was an absolute pleasure in her guidance of us through her hometown of Mumbai. She customized to account for what we had already seen. Her pace through town was just right… great at listening to our desires and accommodating. She answered our numerous questions and had great insight into the real life in Bombay. Her driver was excellent.. in this chaotic city. She knows her history and food here and the places to shop as well. We had her guide us for 2 days and highly recommend her. We have done over 30 TBL tours… she rates at the top.

We had a very educational jammed packed (2) days of action adventure with Priya. We visited more things than we thought Mumbai could offer and a few hidden gems: Malabar Hill for a little bird watching and a walk-a-bout, Mahalaxmi Race Course for a wonderful meal “snack and drinks”, places of worship, streets for shopping and exploring, Architecture: the main Train station that was unbelievable, and Art deco buildings in abundance. We even had the opportunity for a drive through Bollywood. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what Mumbai had to offer through the eyes of Priya. She was a gem! ....and we can’t leave out her fabulous driver who safely maneuvered the streets of Mumbai with nerves of steel.

Pryia was an amazing guide! She was prompt, courteous and very informative. We enjoyed every minute of her tour. She showed us her beautiful city in two days. We could have used more time with her, but we only had two days in Mumbai. I would highly recommend Pryia! She was truly exceptional!
Steven W.Australia
An excellent tour with Priya with that was both comprehensive and well organised. She seemed to intuitively sense our interests and tailor our time to meet them. Her restaurant choices and recommendations were excellent. Happy to recommend her to future visitors to Mumbai.

Sometimes you meet people and you just click. That's how it was with Priya. She just captivated us the first moment we met. We explained we had been traveling for several months and we had had just about all the history we could take. We said we want to see modern, every day life things...and that's what she delivered. Of course she took us to the must-see places but then she took us to her favorite places. We ate delicious food and shopped in wonderful local shops. Priya really showed us Mumbai! Thanks!
Your Mumbai tour itinerary
You could combine the must-see sights of Mumbai with another tour that narrows the focus. In the past, I've conducted the following thematic tours to great success: SHOPPING: Tips on the best buys and bargains SPIRITUALITY: Understanding the complex connections between the many religions, with visits to various places of worship FOOD: Explore vegetarian street-style food or kababs and shawarma rolls in a hygienic place. Or I can curate a high-end fine-dining experience for you. Or book us a place at a regional culinary experience in someone's home. JUDAISM: Exploring the important synagogues, buildings, cemeteries and stories of the Jews in India. With a kosher meal at a cafe owned by a Jew. ANTIQUES: A ramble through all the antique shops, including a visit to the colourful Thieves' Market (Chor Bazaar) where you never know what awaits you! MUSEUMS: They certainly aren't boring, with some of them being an integral part of the city's history and India's struggle for freedom
