Rejseplan
Vandretur i Asiens største Slum Dharavi, det er en til en og en halv time gåtur ind i slumområdet, hvor du kommer til at se både bolig og kommerciel del af slumområder.
Unikke træk ved Mumbai, dhobi er en traditionel vaskeri, hvem vil samle dit snavsede linned, vaske det og returnere det netop til din dør. Alt for en pittance. "Vaskerierne" kaldes "ghats": rækker på række betonpulver, der hver er udstyret med sin egen floggingsten. Tøjet bliver gennemblødt i sudsy vand, smalt på de rystende sten og kastet i store kasser af kogende stivelse og hang ud til at tørre. Dernæst bliver de stryges og stablet i pæne bundter, næsten to hundrede dhobier, og deres familier arbejder sammen i det, der altid har været en arvelig besættelse.
Beliggende på toppen af Malabar Hill, på sin vestlige side, lige overfor Kamala Nehru Park, tilbyder disse terrasserede haver, også kendt som Ferozeshah Mehta Gardens, dejlig solnedgang over Arabien. Parken blev lagt ud i begyndelsen af 1880'erne over Bombays største reservoir, nogle siger at dække vandet fra den potentielt forurenende aktivitet i de nærliggende Towers of Silence
Mani Bhavan er Mahatma Gandhi's gamle Mumbai-bolig. Det er en smuk, to-etagers struktur, der nu indeholder et referencebibliotek med over 2000 bøger, en fotoudstilling af Mahatma's liv og velbevarede memorabilia, herunder et gammelt charkha eller spindehjul, som Gandhiji plejede at bruge. I dag er det kun en symbolsk udstilling, der ligger ubrugt, men mange gamle gandhiere besøger stadig stedet for at hylde deres helt og demonstrere den ædle kunst at spinde dit eget garn!
Marine Drive er en dygtig udlagt boulevard i det sydlige Mumbai. Det er faktisk en opadvendt 'C'-formet 6-vejs betonvej, som forlænger til 3 km langs kysten - en naturlig bugt. Denne avenue forbinder Nariman Point med Malabar Hills. Beliggende over husdyr, mod vest-sydvest, udgør kysten den del af Arabiskehavet. Hvad der gør opmærksom på denne avenue er den slående esplanade ved siden af vejen, hvor mange mennesker kommer for at puste frisk luft og se solnedgang.
Området har victorianske neot Gothic arkitektur bygninger fra det 19. århundrede på et sted. På den anden side har den Bombay High Court, Mumbai University, som også er arv strukturer. Jordgrænserne er den største klynge af art deco-bygninger, og regeringen er derfor opsat på at få verdensarvetsmærket til området. Du kan også se Cricketers praksis på Cross Maidan i Mumbai. Byens største åbne rum.
Mumbai mest berømte monument, dette er udgangspunktet for de fleste turister, der ønsker at udforske byen. Det blev bygget som en triumfbue for at fejre besøg af kong George V og dronning Mary, komplet med fire tårne og indviklet gitterværk hugget ind i den gule basaltsten. Ironisk nok, da Raj sluttede i 1947, blev dette koloniale symbol også en slags epitaph: Den sidste af de britiske skibe, der satte sejl til England, forlod fra Gateway. I dag har dette symbol på kolonialismen indianiseret, tegnet krog af lokale turister og borgere. Bag buen er der trin der fører ned til vandet.
Fra færgepunkt på Apollo bunder i Colaba kommer til at gå på en færgetur, cruising langs Mumbai by kysten.
Rådhuset er en af de mest majestætiske strukturer blandt de andre arv bygninger i Mumbai. Man kan sige, at denne bygning repræsenterer en af de sidste arkitektoniske rester af den victorianske bombay (Mumbai). Historie Mumbai's Town Hall er en kolonistruktur og blev bygget i 1833. Planen for dens konstruktion begyndte i 1811.
Victoria Terminus er modelleret på linjen af St Pancras Station i London, uden tvivl Raj's piece de resistance, Komplet med udskårne stenfrieser, glasmosaik og flyvende støvdragter. Det er den gotiske arkitektur i bedste fald et fantastisk byggeri, som de fleste borgere ser med dyb stolthed. Øverst på den centrale dome står den triumferende figur Progress. Stationen blev døbt for at fejre Victoria Jubilee Day i 1887, da Indiens første dampmotor puffede ud til nabo Thane, omkring 45 km væk. I dag er det blevet rechristened Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus efter Maratha krigeren. Og de gamle dampmotorer er blevet erstattet af elektriske. Men til de 2,5 millioner pendlere, der skubber forbi sine massive portaler hver dag, er det stadig VT, pulsen af en bankende by.

Visiting Dhavari is the height of cultural experiences! With Divya as a tour guide, we got an inside view of what an amazing community this area is. She is the best…. As is the the Dhavari Chawls :)
Dear Jodie, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Divya made your visit to Dharavi such a memorable experience. It’s fantastic to know that you enjoyed the unique cultural richness of the area and the charm of the Dhavari Chawls. We’re grateful for your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another enriching adventure soon! Thanks & Regards, India Magic Tours
Great tour agenda but use a different company. Our guide complained that we chose the 7:30am start time. He rushed through things. Company didn’t tell us Gerry wasn’t running due to holiday. Guide stayed in slums where he lived and sent us back with a driver- didn’t even see us back to finish the tour. 6-8 hour tour done in 4 hours. He even left us at a park for 20 minutes while he went to have breakfast.
My tour guide was very well informed and very flexible. He also took me to the points in the slums that interested me personally. Thank you Sunil for the great tour.

We absolutely loved this tour! We were on a cruise and didn’t have a lot of time, one day, to see the city. Our tour guide Sunil picked us up from the port and we got into a nice 4x4 Jeep. We saw all the major highlights. Sunil was excellent, great English, young and fun! He made it very interesting. We had a blast running around the city with him. We HIGHLY recommend India Magic Tours when in India! They also reached out immediately to see how our tour was and for feedback. Thank you!!! Julie and Liz, USA

Got off to a good start - we were met on time at the Port from our cruise ship an initially had a goodd rive around Mumbai. However the traffic soon started building up - we went to the Indian Gate for the Ferry but this was a public holiday and we were told over an hour to get on the Ferry and despite having been picke dup at 8, we were heading to midday and still hadn't gone to the Dharvani Slum. So we told the guide we would miss out on the Ferry Ride. We then drove for ages right out to the North of Mumbai - it ould appear to drop our guide Lawrencs at home and the driver then had to run back to take us to slums to meet our slum guide. The traffic was awful and in the end we had to agree to only 30 minutes with the slum guide and not the 90 minutes we could have had, if the guide had stuck to the itinerary an taken us there first. We will go back to Mumbai - we will not bopok another trip with this company.
We arrived to Mumbai by cruise ship. Our guide Hasim was easily to located and had a sign with my name written amongst all the other tour operators. Hasim, although nice and friendly, seemed to have limited knowledge outside of the script he was given. Granted, we were asking some questions that are harder to answer, such as, "what building is this?" as we drove past it, but even for the main sites we visited - e.g. a statute outside of the train station, he was unable to answer. I would think Hasim would appeal to a younger crowd who just want to be driven to the main sites and don't want to deal with taxis. We got the impression the driver knew more about Mumbai than Hasim, but couldn't speak English to convey. That being said, Hasim found a nice Bengali restaurant - Oh Calcutta! - and was always waiting for us. In other words, he did his job as an escort, but we didn't get a proper tour guide service. Also of note, there was no water offered and no ferry ride as part of the tour. For the tour of the slums, our guide Mahesh provided good details on the walking tour. I have visited Soweto in South Africa and favelas in Brazil and I can stay that Mumbai was a lot better than either SA or Brazil. I'm not sure if this is just the general state of the slums or just the portion we visited - the key highlight is one of the alleys you walk through was a filming location for Slumdog Millionaire. To be fair, the slum part of the tour didn't look much different from the rest of Mumbai - it's an urban jungle through and through. The driver did a great job navigating traffic. If you are looking for an all in one experience and just want to get to the major sites, Magic India is a nice choice, but there might be more cost effective options out there and I'm sure it depends on the tour guide you get.
Today we toured the Dharavi Slums with our incredible guide Torab. He provided a very in-depth tour of Dharavi. He personally lives in and grew up in Dharavi. He took us through the different industrial areas, residential areas and Main Street markets. He was incredibly knowledgeable and showed the reality of this city, ambition and entrepreneurial spirit. I would highly recommend going on this tour with Magic Tours of Mumbai. It is a not for profit organization that hires college students who live in Dharavi part time, to help them afford school. Definitely do this tour!!

I was alone in Mumbai and so I decided to book this tour to have a "local guide". Overall a deep and satisfying tour, but Mumbai is nothing "exceptional" regarding monuments.Tour was absolutely great to understand the diversity and the mood of Mumbai! My guide was Vishal, a guy living in the Mumbai slum and my driver was Devraj. Vishal was absolutely great, full of information and kindness. Highly client oriented! Driver was 100% valued. Raccomended!
I did this amazing trick with Raaj It was just magical given that he was born there he speaks to you better than anyone and despite the difficulty of the place I can say that this is my most moving visit of all India because Raaj has also made me see the good sides of having work and allowing everyone to evolve and educate the children properly in India Bravo and thank you
