“What an absolutely brilliant activity - half a day visiting Bollywood. But not only - we saw scenes being filmed, and explored other sets; got to try on a costume and make an award-acceptance speech; watched a dance show and then joined in; recorded a karaoke song and were filmed acting a scene. Neha, our guide, was brilliant - so relaxed she put us all at ease. Would thoroughly recommend the whole event!”
A guided Film City tour from Mumbai with an A/C drive past movie sets, plus comedy and live Bollywood dance shows.
“Basically it's not bollywood it's where all the series get filmed. Didn't get a sense of the film industry in India. Everything is aimed at the Indian population so didn't understand a lot. On my side didn't know enough of the productions so I lacked relevancy. The show was poor wuality and production quality terrible. The singer was good. The guide was excellent tho and very personable. It was not worth in excess of 5000 rupees I could have got the same by buying buying tickets and going on my own for a fraction of the price.”

“This was by far one of the best tours I've ever done! Great staff, we got to see some live Bollywood filming and even learn a dance along with the performers. Afterwards we dressed up in traditional Indian clothing for a photoshoot and filmed a quick short movie with our funny hosts. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and put a lot of effort for you to have fun. I would definitely recommend!”
