Okay, okay, listen, I really wanted to love this. I was ready for an epic experience, something that’d make me laugh, feel relaxed, and leave me thinking, “Man, this was worth every penny!” But instead, my liver’s still recovering from that disappointment, and honestly, so is my soul. So, let’s get this straight, shall we? Foram Worldwide Tours? More like Forlorn Worldwide Tours. Trust me, I’m not one to be picky, but the way they run things is. WOW, just wow.
First off, when I signed up, I imagined a nice, smooth tour. A relaxing day, maybe with a cocktail in hand, a gentle breeze in my hair, and a guide who actually knew what they were talking about. But nope, what I got instead felt like I was trapped on a school field trip led by someone who’d just learned how to spell “tourism” five minutes ago. The bus? It felt like it had a mind of its own—and that mind hated me. I’ve had better rides in dodgy cabs after a few too many drinks, and that’s saying something.
I don’t know what was worse: the constant bumps on the road, or the fact that the tour guide couldn’t even keep track of time. Every stop we made? Late. I could’ve downed a whole bottle of tequila, taken a nap, and still made it before the next one. And don’t even get me started on how they handled the schedule. There was no rhythm, no flow. Just chaos. I had more fun trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle after six shots of vodka.
The food? Oh boy, the food. They told us we’d get to try “authentic” Mumbai cuisine, and I thought, “Great, I’m about to eat my weight in biryani or something delicious!” What did I actually get? A sad plate of food that made me question if the word “authentic” even exists in their dictionary. If "authentic" means soggy, bland, and greasy, then sure, they nailed it. Honestly, I’ve had better food at a street corner shop in Mumbai after two gin and tonics. I swear, I’ve seen more flavor in the bottom of a dusty bottle of ketchup. And the portion size? I’m pretty sure the meal was meant for a five-year-old with no appetite.
Long story short, if you want your vacation to feel like an episode of Unsolved Mysteries—you know, the part where everything goes wrong and no one can explain why—then go ahead and book with these guys. I’ll be honest, my drunk rants are more organized than this whole disaster of a company.
Now, about that “luxury tour” experience they advertise? Please. Don’t be fooled. If you think you’re going to get a smooth ride, a knowledgeable guide, or even decent food, just stop. I was so ready for a peaceful, fun-filled day, but all I got was a chaotic mess where I couldn’t even tell if I was going forward or backward. The guide might as well have been on autopilot, just saying the same thing over and over like a broken record. I think he even lost his way at one point and had to ask a local for directions!
And then, there was the whole issue of the stops. Half of them didn’t even happen, and we spent more time sitting in traffic than actually seeing the sights. I could’ve gotten better views from a bus stop bench. Instead, I just stared out the window, wondering if I could teleport out of there. But no, instead of leaving, I just sat there, sweating in the sun, wishing I had stayed home with a bottle of rum and Netflix.
Now, for the “freebies” they handed out at the end of the day. Oh man, the sheer audacity. They gave me some “exclusive” coupon for discounts on future tours. At that point, I felt like throwing it out the window. In fact, I did. I didn’t need another tour of disappointment. It was just the cherry on top of this miserable sundae.
So, here’s the bottom line: Foram Worldwide Tours is the last place I’d recommend if you’re looking for a smooth, relaxing getaway. If you want frustration, delays, terrible food, and a complete lack of organization, then sure, this might just be your thing. But for everyone else, I’d suggest you stick to your own plans and save yourself the headache. Honestly, I’ll take my chances with Google Maps next time instead of this poorly planned mess. It might be more reliable than the so-called “professionals” at Foram Worldwide Tours.
