  Unique markets with a brilliant guide…..

  This was an incredible experience led by our amazing guide Sameer. Having done many tours globally, this one stood out as unique. He tailored a personal tour along with a great driver. We explored the flower market, antique market, and two impressive knock-off brand markets. We found fantastic deals on distinctive local items for our home, along with original Indian jewelry and clothing for ourselves. Throughout the day, we gained insights into local history and had a memorable time. I highly recommend this tour.

  Above and beyond!

  As a solo female traveler, I felt quite anxious about exploring Mumbai, but Sameer went above and beyond to ensure I felt safe and comfortable, allowing me to have a fantastic experience. His extensive knowledge led me to some incredible spots, and he even altered our plans to help me find beautiful clothes for a friend's wedding. He also made sure I found my train that night when I was feeling nervous. I highly recommend this experience and will definitely repeat it on future visits to Mumbai.

  All in one shopping

  I greatly appreciated the concept of this tour and had a wonderful time finding genuine Indian attire. The selection in the shops was fantastic. We were looking for toys for our grandchildren, and the options and prices were excellent. I would have loved to explore the street vendors more, but my husband was tired, so we headed back to the hotel. I felt comfortable and secure with Vikrant as our guide.

  Great Market Tour

  Exploring the various markets in Mumbai and observing how locals shop and go about their daily lives was a fantastic experience. We visited a flower market where people purchased flowers for weddings and prayers, and discovered unique fruits that were unfamiliar to us. The aromas of different cooking spices were delightful, and we also had the chance to taste and buy some sweets. Sameer took us to one of the largest malls in Mumbai, which provided a nice break from the external heat. Spending an entire day would be necessary to fully appreciate everything inside. It was beautifully designed, featuring many high-end and branded clothing options. Most shoppers there were young, dressed similarly to those in Canada during summer. My mom was keen on buying clothes and jewelry, and Sameer guided us to a fantastic shop for tunics and a jewelry store offering silver bangles and earrings. She even tried on gold bangles and had a lovely conversation with the store owner. Our driver was excellent, always patient, and ensured we were efficiently dropped off and picked up after each market visit. We truly valued the immersive market experience that allowed us to interact with the local people of Mumbai rather than just visiting typical tourist sites. We will cherish these memories and share them with family and friends. We're grateful to Sameer for making this experience special. We highly recommend that anyone visiting Mumbai should take the time to explore the markets and walk the streets to truly appreciate the city and its people. Sameer proved to be an exceptional guide, showing tremendous patience and calmness while navigating the busy streets. He addressed all of the questions my mom and I had, and my mom enjoyed their conversations and his warm responses to her jokes.

  Excellent market hopping experience

  We had a fantastic day exploring the markets of Mumbai with Shreeji Tours. Vikram was not only engaging but also very knowledgeable, providing us with great insights into life in the city. I would definitely recommend this tour to female travelers, as my daughter and I felt completely safe throughout.

  Top notch guide with driver!

  The guide provided outstanding service and maintained excellent communication throughout, making pickup and drop-off smooth and easy. Our itinerary was tailored to our preferences, with Vic offering various options as we explored different areas and adapting to our changing requests. His knowledge was impressive, as he shared relevant information about the city beyond just historical details. Vic's English was clear, slightly accented, and easily understandable. With a driver present, he could engage with us without distractions from traffic, and the driver was always nearby when we needed transportation. This was a fantastic experience, and I wish we had discovered him earlier; I would definitely work with Vic again.

  Excellent! Flexible and accommodating.

  Vik is an excellent guide who communicates effectively and utilizes a driver, allowing him to concentrate on sharing information rather than navigating. His extensive knowledge enables him to adapt the tour to your interests, going beyond just historical facts. He genuinely tailors the experience to your preferences and is a pleasant person as well.
