Excellent , I only did the Studio tour (not driving to Star houses, so can't speak to that part). But the studio tour you can see Live recording drama series , and check out all the sets! My tour guide Siddi went out of his way to make it a great experience
Poor value for money. The car was old and the guide did not add anything to the tour.

Must watch place if you are Bollywood fan and like to see live shooting and Studios.
Thank you Management and our tour guide for amazing itinerary. We had such a great time and experience. Bollywood tours organized our whole stay and sightseeing in Mumbai as me and my family were first timers in Mumbai. Been to different countries for holidays but never thought of such a great organized trip in own country. Thanks to Team Bollywood Tours, keep it up. Next visit definitely elephanta cave tours please 👍
Good experience 😊 enjoyable
Our guide for the four of us ( two couples) was very knowledgeable. Secured seating for us. When we got to the Island he was so informative and intelligent that I realized that unless someone explained everything to you...the entire cultural experience would be missed.He took us from the beginning till we were dropped off.An incredible day and he had alot to do with it. Always remember if you wear shorts and a t-shirt is a sign of disrespect . One gentleman when we arrived at the island became invisible ! Please show respect to their history
Had a great afternoon with watching behind the scenes while shooting two favourite top shows on star plus, watched some Bollywood dances, and also to make it easier we had a fantastic English speaking tour guide that was very professional and experience.
Would recommend it, I have plenty of photos to prove it ❤️

Just wanted to pass along our thoughts on the Bollywood tour as we felt our experience was a little disappointing to say the least for the City + Bollywood Tour.
Starting with the very beginning, the guide was late in the morning. We planned for 9-930 the night before, but he didn't arrive until 10:30am citing traffic as the reason. But as Indians we are all well aware that traffic is the norm in Mumbai and should be planned for accordingly.
A late start means everything was either delayed or rushed as a result. We proceeded with the tour and had to mention each of the viewpoints serving as a reminder whereas I would think it's an expectation that the guide would show us everything without mention. At Taj and Gateway of India we made a short stopover but were wondering that for us it turned out that we had already seen it before but for other tourists how would you expect them to see and enjoy the place in a short rushed time? We then reminded him of Mani Bhawan and other viewpoints, before making our way towards "star homes".
This was definitely the most oversold part of the tour as we saw Shahrukh Khan and Salman's house and Farhan Akhtar. In fact there were other houses on the way that we enquired about to which the guide informed us that it belonged to this celebrity etc, but again I would think this is an expectation, especially when your travellers are Indian. (no kidding, I was able to provide more celebrity addresses on an Ola cab ride) we asked of other houses in Pali Hill and Amitabh's house but it was "out of the way" and also apparently the houses you show depends on where the tour begins which is quite disappointing, a tour should have a proper itinerary.
After the fact, I also reconciled with the word doc and noticed the restaurant we were taken to was Shalimar and not Copperchimney - we were not given an option and once again, this speaks to my point that as the guest I felt like I should have policed the entire route and every fine detail (maybe I should have gotten paid to be the co-pilot). The restaurant was definitely not hygienic as there were fruit flies on pickles and even our drinks but since we were already "late" for the dance we made our way out to SJ. The studio itself is pretty substandard and for serials, yet the guide did a good job to show us around because he was kind enough to arrange us another viewing of another shoot at Filmistaan. At the same time, he emphasized that it was a personal favor though he mentioned the company has relations with studios so they are aware of shoots so not sure if the facts reconciled there and if it really was an additional favor. Such additional favors feel quite burdening so would try and watch the language for guests.
The highlights were the singing studio though again the experience should not feel rushed and feel as if it is not included in the tour but done as a favor. (The guide was kind to ask if any of us sings, but if we said no it would not be a part of the tour... I would expect the tour to be complete as per the itinerary because a traveller would not know what a recording studio experience is like regardless of whether or not they sing).It should be a more organized natural part of the tour as it changes the way one perceives the tour and enjoys it.
All in all, at over $200 per person the tour was not worth the price whatsoever. The car itself was substandard, I'm sure at that cost a newer fresher car can be arranged as it smelled of smoke (cigarette smokes) which is quite disgusting.

Bollywood Tours has Some tie-ups with Bollywood studios with they take us behind the scenes. They have Professional and Experienced tour Guides . In Tour we see actors houses in Bandra and then Studios and sets where we watch how people work and act and much. The tour ends with series of dances. Expensive but Worthy
