Sanjay

Namaste & Hello! I’m Sanjay, a proud Mumbaikar with a special connection to South Goa, which feels like my second home. As a freelance cinematographer, I’m passionate about travel, cooking, photography, writing, digital arts, meditation, and storytelling. I also love watching documentaries and discovering new stories wherever I go.

I enjoy spending time with underprivileged children, teaching them basic skills and education. Over the past 16 years, I’ve explored India with friends from places like Germany, Japan, Canada, and Switzerland. I’ve met many travelers who only knew India through guidebooks, so I’ve made it my mission to share the "real" India—the culture, the stories, and the hidden gems beyond the usual tourist spots.

Being a tour guide is more than showing landmarks for me; it’s about creating meaningful connections, breaking barriers, and offering a truly immersive experience. My Mumbai tour is all about showcasing the city’s vibrant culture, history, and energy in a way that’s personal and engaging.

Highly recommend Sanjay's tour through Mumbai - thanks again! He's shown us the must sees, explained historical connections along with less known insider facts, and provided valuable tips. We had fun and great conversations. Sanjay was very flexible and tailored the tour to guest's needs and interests.

I had an amazing experience and enjoyed the tour with Sanjay a lot. Because other guests had to cancel at short notice I was the only guest. Nethertheless, Sanjay was happy to do the full 4 hours tour with me. Besides seeing some of the most popular sightseeing spots, I learned a lot about people's lives in Mumbai, cultural differences across India, politics, history and religion. During the whole tour I could feel his passion for sharing knowledge and exchanging perspectives. If you want to learn and experience things beyond the typical tourist spots, I highly recommend Sanjay as your guide. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon in Mumbai!

I highly recommend the is tour with Sanjay! He helped us navigate the busy streets of Bandra with ease all while providing great insights into the history of the area and modern context. There was a great spectrum of experience - viewing and learning about the slum and then taking in the billionaire hilltop apartments and mansions. if we had attempted to solely explore Bandra on our own we would have missed out on so much. Sanjay is very amiable and knowledgeable and approachable! At the end of our tour he also helped us negotiate a fair price on a tuk tuk back down to Linking Road so we could shop. Take this tour to see a vibrant part of Mumbai!

Response from Sanjay
Thank you so much Radha for your kind words and wonderful feedback! It was truly a pleasure guiding you through the vibrant streets of Bandra and sharing its rich history and unique contrasts. I’m glad you enjoyed exploring everything from the bustling slum to the luxurious hilltop mansions—it’s such a fascinating mix, isn’t it? Wishing you many more amazing adventures, Safe travels and happy shopping!
