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).

If you've read Gregory David Roberts' fascinating book Shantaram, you'll know that his Mumbai is full of very interesting places and people. Here's a chance to see all of them up close and personal! You can see where he stayed, the restaurants and places he frequented. I can even take you to areas that are redolent of the same atmosphere where his fictional characters lived and loved. I may not ride a bike like Greg, but I will take you on a taxi tour of Mumbai that will leave you just as overwhelmed! Don't wait for the movie (or the next season of the series!), see Shantaram's Mumbai yourself.
* Where Shantaram lived * The medical store where he bought all his supplies when he played 'doctor' to his neighbours * A peek into the restaurant where he met the love of his life (you can stop here and have a drink/meal at your own expense) or go on with the rest of the tour * A walk through the lanes and bylanes of the crowded (and somewhat seedy) areas where the latter half of the book is set
