The most racist white centric thing ever

This is so racist and white centric. If u truly want to learn about slums, read a book like beyond the beautiful forevers. This is peoples real lives. Why are we romanticizing poverty? Also $10 would literally feed a family of 4 for a month. The most white centric thing i have seen in my life. So disappointing this exists honestly. I am born and raised in a village in india and this tour is so irrepresentative of my country

This tour made me feel like a local!

Amazing experience! The guides were very knowledgeable and could answer every question. Anu and Shruti spoke wonderful English and led the tour flawlessly. Dildar was a wonderful driver and had a very wonderful car! I learned so much about Mumbai and have fallen in love with this city! 11/10 WOULD RECOMMEND! The fee was very reasonable. It was about 8 hours for both the city and the slum tour.
