(Tour de barrios marginales) El barrio marginal más grande de Asia, Dharavi, se encuentra en una propiedad de primera justo en el centro de la capital financiera de la India, Mumbai.

¡Conoce a los Dabbawalas de Mumbai! Para cualquiera que haya estado alguna vez en Mumbai, ¡los Dabbawalas son una clase especial de personas que todos conocen! Sin embargo, para los no iniciados: ¿Quién es un Dabbawalla? La palabra "dabbawala" en hindi, cuando se traduce literalmente, significa "el que lleva una caja". “Dabba” significa una caja (generalmente una lata cilíndrica o un recipiente de aluminio). El significado más cercano del dabbawala en inglés sería el “repartidor de fiambreras” Cada día en la ciudad de Mumbai, 5.000 dabbawalas entregan unos 130.000 dabbas en oficinas de toda la metrópoli. En los casi 120 años de este servicio, el enfoque de los dabbawalas se ha mantenido constante: una fuerza laboral semianalfabeta (los dabbawalas) recoge los dabbas llenos de los hogares que los preparan y entregan las cajas a las oficinas correspondientes; luego recuperan los dabbas vacíos de estos puntos de entrega y los devuelven a los hogares de origen, para comenzar el proceso nuevamente al día siguiente.

We learned so much from our guide Rakesh, who is a local from Dharavi neighborhood. It was like visiting the hometown of a friend, sharing about the joys and challenges of his community through both hostorical facts and personal experience. Rakesh had a great sense of humor as well as professional knowledge. I also really appreciated how it was emphasized that picture taking is not allowed in residential areas.
Dhruvesh was exceptional guide for the Tour. He provided complete details of the trip. He being from the same area was an added bonus for me. People in Dharavi area knew him before hand. Overall a definite thums up to the guide & tour.👍

I haven't stopped talking to friends about the experiences from the tour. My local guide Bharti brought so much energy and knowledge to the tour, and with it being her home made you feel very welcome, ie. Not just feeling like another tourist with a camera. You will see a side of the world like no other doing this tour. Plenty of opportunities to get refreshments along the way, as it's Mumbai heat after all! Thanks for an unforgettable day out, Bharti. And for the recipe suggestions!

We had an absolutely fantastic guide with Abhi. He has delighted us very much with his extremely friendly and outgoing nature. He has responded fantastically to our questions. It has enabled us to fully immerse ourselves in the world of Mumbai. We have rarely had such a competent and at the same time friendly guide. He took us into his world and thus gave us very deep insights. Thank you, dear Abhi. When we get back to Mumbai, we will explicitly ask for Abhi at Mumbai Dream Tours.

We had a small issue with the meeting point, but as I've experienced on other tours, it appears to be a viator and not a tour operator issue. It was fixed with a quick message to Viator and the exact meeting point is the ticket office at Churchgate train station. Rakesh was an excellent guide and provided a day of memorable experiences. All 3 activities were fascinating, as was the local train and taxi rides. I would definitely recommend Rakesh and the tour to anyone visiting Mumbai.
