“Anand went above and beyond the call of duty to provide us with a memorable and thorough orientation to the glorious chaos that characterizes Mumbai. He wisely suggested that we divide our half-day tour of the city into two parts to escape the worst of the considerable heat.
So our morning consisted of seeing the famous Victorian Railway Terminus and, shopping in Crawford Market and Colaba Market. Anand was determined that we have fair exchanges with merchants, and he proved to be a skilled and persistent bargainer.
Our afternoon tour started with one of our special requests, the Bombay Gymkhana, and then we proceeded by train to Dhobi Ghat, where we saw the world’s largest open-air laundry in action, and to Bandra station, Bandra Point, where we enjoyed an iconic sunset view over the Arabian Sea. After that we drove back to see the Gateway to India. We particularly enjoyed navigating Mumbai like the locals do which gave us a profound sense of the city’s everyday life. Throughout our time with him, Anand was patient, flexible, and knowledgeable, while taking great care for our safety. All made for a unique and indelibly etched experience for us on our first day in Mumbai.” – Lance and Chuck, USA.
