Namaste & Hello I’m Sanjay,
a native of the energetic and vibrant city of Mumbai. I also feel a special connection to South Goa; it's like my second home. I work as a freelance cinematographer. I am passionate about travelling, cooking, photography, writing, digital arts, meditation, and storytelling. Also, I have a bit of an obsession with watching documentaries and discovering stories wherever I travel. I truly enjoy spending time with underprivileged kids who have fewer opportunities and teaching them foundational skills and basic education. I've been all over India as part of film crews, on solo tours, and with friends from countries like Germany, Japan, Canada, and Switzerland. For the past 16 years, I've been going on tours all around India, and it's been an amazing journey. I've learned so much from my own experiences and from listening to stories from other travelers. During my travels, I've met lots of people from different countries who've been exploring India for months, visiting all the famous cities and tourist spots. But many of them only knew about India from guidebooks like Lonely Planet. I was happy to meet them because it gave me a chance to share the real India—the stories, the culture, and the incredible things you won't find in guidebooks. This passion naturally led me to pursue a hobby as a tour guide. My love for being a tour guide extends beyond showcasing picturesque landscapes and iconic landmarks. It's about fostering cross-cultural understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating moments that transcend the ordinary. My Mumbai tour is dedicated to showcasing the city’s rich culture, history, architecture, bustling streets, and vibrant energy through an immersive and insightful experience. Languages I speak: English (Fluent), Hindi (Fluent), Bangla (Fluent), Marathi (70% Fluent). Currently learning: Japanese.
Amazing tour of Mumbai! Sanjay gave us such a thorough tour, we saw so many things and places and he helped us after the tour with recommendations and directions. He answered all our questions and shared all his knowledge about the city and the culture. I couldn't recommend him enough, so if you are in Mumbai definitely get a tour with him!
This was our second tour with Sanjay, and once again, it was an incredible way to experience Mumbai! This time, we explored the Bandra area, discovering its unique Portuguese-style architecture and fascinating historical insights. Sanjay also took us to one of his favorite hidden gems with a stunning view of South Mumbai. Highly recommended—100%!
An incredible experience exploring South Mumbai with Sanjay! Over the course of 3-4 hours, we ventured through various historic and vibrant spots, and Sanjay’s deep knowledge of Indian history, along with fascinating stories about each location, brought everything to life. This immersive tour felt like experiencing Mumbai as a true local—from the iconic Dhobi Ghat to the bustling Crawford Market. If you’re looking for an authentic Indian experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Sanjay. He’s truly the best!
Sanjay gave us a phenomenal and very comprehensive tour of Mumbai! He had great information that he presented in an easily digestible way, not too overwhelming with facts and figures but enough to provide context. He was always happy to answer our questions about sites or culture in general. We really enjoyed seeing many different aspects of the city with Sanjay and loved that we got to ride the bus and train with him. We highly recommend Sanjay if you want a thorough snapshot of this dynamic city.
My tour with Sanjay was great! We walked through Bandra and he gave plenty of information about the places we saw, and also about India overall. We spoke of culture, history, politics, religion, etc. it was so interesting, you can tell Sanjay knows a lot and is very passionate about sharing his culture with his guest. Would highly recommend to explore Bandra with him.
