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).

How many tourists get a chance to experience Mumbai with a journalist who has been reporting on the city for more than 25 years? If there's one definitive tour of Mumbai that you should do, this is it! You won't just be seeing the sights but also getting a glimpse of the past and a slice of the present as I pepper my conversation with stories about the people and places that make the city what it is. I'll be taking you to a lot of diverse and interesting areas of South and Central Mumbai, covering the touristy 'must-dos' as well as some spots that are more off the beaten track, helping you to really get to know the city and its ways.
This tour will give you a detailed insight into Mumbai. Through the day, you will see the following buildings/places and several others: ● British colonial areas and landmarks such as the Gateway of India and the CST (erstwhile Victoria Terminus) Train Station and the BMC building ● Historically significant places such as Mani Bhawan (Mahatma Gandhi museum) ● Quintessentially Mumbai spots such as The open-air laundry (Dhobhi ghat), and Marine Drive ● Interesting neighbourhoods such as the Kala Ghoda Art & Heritage Precinct ● Unique aspects of Mumbai and its people

I use only Toyota Innovas, as they are clean, modern, air-conditioned, with sufficient legroom and space for people of height and girth and good ground clearance to give you a smooth ride.
