Kanika was the perfect guide - knowledgeable, chatty (just enough) and reassuring (India can be daunting). The tour itself was the perfect length and was also the ideal mix of cultural and historic. It also provided some much-needed conversation (especially when you’re traveling alone) as well as local insights.

We had a great day exploring the cultural heritage of Pune with a wonderful guide Snehal and driver. She provided fascinating commentary & information throughout the day. The walk through the Tulsi Baug shopping market was great fun & all of the temples were fascinating. The visit to Aga Khan Palace & Ghandi exhibits really provided an historical perspective of the era. We were particularly glad that the company were able to pick us up from our hotel in Talegaon. Lunch at a Thali restaurant was a highlight.

Vikrant who was my guide was very helpful and he is a great guy to have a conversation with and at the same time enjoy the city of Mumbai. He is very helpful and courteous.

This was my second tour with Five senses and this was also equally an enchanting experience. We visited 2 temples, a Islamic place or worship and a palace. This was an incredible tour away from the city into the real India. We met many friendly people . Our guide vikas helped us understand all the complex rituals! It was an awesome day.

We were on a long awaited holiday to Mumbai with our 12 year old son few months back. One of the main reasons we wanted to visit Mumbai was to do the Bollywood Tour and hopefully with luck on our side, meet our favourite actors and actresses. We were very lucky to find Mr. Rahil Khan through the excellent reviews of his company on Tripadvisor. We were not disappointed at all. When Mr. Rahil heard that how eager my wife and son were to meet the actors, within a short notice of few hours he organised the visit to the Studio for us. We could not believe that how easily Mr. Rahil got access for us to meet all the actors and actresses who all seemed to be good friends with him. (We later got to know that Mr. Rahil Khan is an actor and director himself). All the stars were very nice and were very happy to meet us and they agreed to take plenty of pictures with our family. This was the highlight and once in a lifetime experience for us which we will never forget. My son and wife were overjoyed. We also got to see live filming of a television show and web series, which was a very thrilling experience. The sound recording room and live dance show were great fun and very enjoyable. We were well looked after by WOB team who work in a dedicated and sincere manner to make sure that you have a great enjoyable day. We highly recommend the Bollywood Tour with Mr. Rahil Khan and his team. It is more than value for money. Thank you. Manish Sehgal.
