Hi, my name is Rahul, and I am proud to call Mumbai my home, where I was born and raised. I have always been fascinated by the diverse cultures, vibrant history, and unique stories that my city offers. Since 2015, I’ve been working full-time as a professional tour guide, sharing my passion for Mumbai and India with travelers from across the globe.
My journey into guiding began with a deep love for storytelling and a desire to connect people with the real essence of India. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience curating personalized tours that showcase the famous landmarks, hidden gems, and local lifestyles that make Mumbai so special.
Whether it’s the bustling streets of Dharavi, the architectural marvels of Victorian Mumbai, or the spiritual aura of Elephanta Caves, I ensure my guests not only see but truly experience the soul of each place.
When I’m not guiding tours, I dedicate my time to working with the Young Cares Foundation, an NGO in Dharavi that provides free education and opportunities to slum children.
