We had an amazing tour of Dharavi with Abhi as our guide. From the very beginning, Abhi made the experience engaging, insightful, and respectful. We started in the industrial area, learning about the incredible recycling and small-scale manufacturing industries, before moving on to the residential parts of the community where people live and work side by side. Along the way, we also visited the local market, school, and many small shops, which gave us a real sense of daily life in Dharavi. Abhi provided a wealth of useful information, answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. What stood out most was the way he shared the history, challenges, and strengths of Dharavi with so much knowledge and pride. Thanks to him, we left with a much deeper understanding and appreciation of this vibrant community. Abhi is not only an excellent guide, but also a wonderful ambassador for your company , professional, friendly, and truly passionate about his work. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mumbai.
Very interesting, I recommend this tour 100% ! Bharti is an amazing guide and such an inspiring woman ! Thank you so much :)
The walking slum with Mohammad is very interesting and I learned a lot about local life in Dharavi. Most important was to show to visitors a real impression of life inside of the slum and strike prejudices about the slum generally and its residents. During the tour I saw people working very hard and all day long under very hard conditions. For me they are heroes of life and survive there inside, they have all my respect! Very good experience and on my next Mumbai tour I surely will contact Mohammad again for this tour, maybe with a friend together. Mohammad does a great job! Thank you so much! K.
Great experience and very sobering/thought provoking. Mohammad was wonderful at explaining his passion and home. Saw the true face of the slums - very difficult living and working environment but home to hard-working, kind, and happy people. Enjoyed meeting some of the kids at their "playground" and seeing many of the industries and living spaces of the families. Could not have had a better tour. Even though Mohammad got sick overnight, his nephew Ansari completed the tour.
I am glad you had a great tour and I am thankful to you for taking out time for this valuable feedback. Guests satisfaction is always my motto. Have a great year ahead and happy Travels.
The tour was rally great. We got a lot of insights to the small factories in the slum. The guide was very much familiar with the area. He showed us first the area where the small factories are located. After that we had a walk through a pure living area in the slum. Very impressive to see how the people live there. At the end of the tour we walked through the Dharavi market. Our tour guide was very, very nice and a real insider. He told us that he grow up there. As far as I remember his name is Allama. A cleat 5-star rating. The price for the tour was very reasonable and we got a lot of impressions. Highle recommended!
