"The history of Mumbai opened up itself while I was taking a tour around the city with the team at Raconteur Walks Mumbai. My guide breathed a new life into the statues, buildings and squares around us. If you want to go under the surface and get to know the real city, I strongly recommend that you spend a few hours with Viraat and his team at Raconteur Walks Mumbai" - Bernadett Sebaly (Hungary)


"Raconteur Walks Mumbai is a very friendly and fantastically knowledgeable tour company which has shown me the hidden gems of Mumbai I would have never even thought of going to on my own. I would definitely recommend to all who are visiting Mumbai and hope to bring friends and family for walks in the future. " - Rishi Pancholi (United Kingdom)


"I’ve had the pleasure in taking ‘The Apollo Gate and Front Bay’ street walking tour in the ‘Fort’ area of Mumbai.  Viraat and his team are fountains of knowledge that the Lonely Planet guide can never match. He organises a very professional tour and makes sure you stay safe the entire time. He is fully recommended"  - Vinh Dao (North America)
