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.

The tour was very well organized. Stops for tea, visits, lunch were well planned. I really appreciated Sanket's explanations on the city of Pune and on all the three sites that we visited, especially the history about Sinhagad Fort. Although we did have fresh air and beautiful views at the two dams, I was quite disappointed by the dams because there was not much to see. Overall, I did enjoy the whole day of visit and highly recommend this tour.

We explored the city of Pune with Five senses tours. It was a great day which began at a famous temple of Elephant God. Our guide Vishal told us about the interesting story behind building of this temple by a sweetmeat maker. We next visited a remarkable museum which gave us a good idea of the heritage of this great city. Vishal brought us to a magnificent but haunted palace! We also visited the Agha khan palace which was outstanding and Vishal told us how it played a great role in the Indian independence movement. Vishal was very knowledgeable and ensured we were well taken care of. It was easily one of the best heritage tours of any city I have ever taken anywhere in the world.

I am not really a bird-watcher but instead just like to experience different cultures and get out of the city and into nature. The car ride is long and we stopped along the way on the side of the road for some coffee. The boat ride was great and we were able to see many species of birds, including flamingos and storks. There were not a lot of flamingos due to the time of year, so be thoughtful to that if that is the goal. After the sanctuary we went to a temple which was constructed with all hand carved stones - it was beautiful. Overall, great day - 8 hours total to and from hotel.
