Mr. Alkama was very kind and friendly in guiding me. This tour was a truly valuable experience for me.
Our local tour with Javed was really fantastic, he takes his time to explain everything and answer all the questions you may have, i highly recommend his service.
Yousuf made me feel very safe. I loved learning about his culture and his home. This was the best experience in Mumbai
Thanks to javed's guide, we had a short transit time, but we were able to have an experience that we couldn't quite do. Thank you very much.
I had an incredible experience with Bharti during the tour of Dharavi and Dhobi Ghat. It was so much more than just a tour — it truly felt like a deep cultural experience. Bharti was an amazing guide: knowledgeable, friendly, and very passionate about what she does. She didn’t just show us places, she helped us understand the history, the community, and the everyday life in a very respectful and insightful way. Visiting Dharavi with her completely changed my perspective, and Dhobi Ghat was fascinating to see up close. What made it really special was the way Bharti connected with us and made everything feel authentic and meaningful. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mumbai. It’s not just a tour — it’s something you will remember and learn from
Amazing tour by our local guide Ansh! She showed us many different sections in Dharavi and was very knowledgeable. Definitely the highlight of our India trip.
It was an amazing experience. Got to know a lot about the culture of Dharavi, Dhobi Ghat. My guide Bhaarti was incredible and really knowledgeable. Thanks to her it will be such a memorable tour for me.
We’ve visited with Rakesh who organized wonderful visit. It was full of detailed information even better than a reportage. We were completely satisfied. It’s a must do visit in Mumbai
Ansh was a great guide, she lives in Daharavi herself. We have seen many small impressive alleys. It was great and we would do it again.
It was an amazing experience. Bharti was our guide and what a super guide she was. She knew everything about every corner of our tour. Would definitely be coming back for more tours with her.
