Excursão às favelas de Dharavi

It was my dream to visit slums of Mumbai! Our tour guide, DHRUVESH MEWADA, was exceptional. Having grown up in Dharavi, he has deep personal connections within the community and knows many of the residents. His firsthand knowledge and the fascinating stories he shared brought the history and daily life of the slums to life. The tour was incredibly insightful, authentic, and informative.

Great tour - such a good expereince as a solo traveller in Mumbai. Hardik was an excellent guide, incredibly friendly and polite with lots of good recommendations...you hear a lot about certain parts of Mumbai through films or word of mouth but seeing it with your own eyes is the only way to get a glimpse of what it's really like... highly recommend to anyone who's curious. also if you go on a sunday you can play cricket in the streets :)

Fabulous tour. Guide was extremely helpful and informative.

I had an amazing experience. My Guide Nayan was so friendly and informative. The tour was really eye opening and really changed my perspective towards Dharavi... I recommend everyone to visit the place at least once

The experience offered a firsthand look at the resilience of its community, thriving cottage industries, and remarkable human spirit within one of Asia's largest urban settlements.

Our tour guide, Abi, was a spectacular, personable guide for our two-hour tour through his deep experiential knowledge of the place (as long time resident of it). Elsewhere, his perfect use of the English language enabled him to answer all of our questions in a way that was not only highly informative, but also ideally succinct and disarmingly direct. All-in-all a “real”, transformative experience for us, possibly our single, favorite moment of our whole 12-day, 4-city, first trip of India. Make sure to ask for him by name, thanks Abi!

We have taken the dharavi slum tour . Our guide was hardik, he was very informative about the area with good communicational skills. Would recommend people to take this tour and have a better understanding about the area , people, business etc and change their perspectives.

We went on the Dharavi Slum Tour with Rakesh as our guide. It was intense, overwhelming, and inspiring all at once. Rakesh was wonderful - very knowledgeable and willing to answer all our many questions. He took us through the bustling commercial area first and then we also saw a crowded residential area. This tour really makes you think about ones own privilege, the ways many people in this world have to live, and the how they find opportunities to thrive. Highly recommend this tour.

This was my second slum tour, and my guide Hardik Tank was so much better than my first. He still lives in the community, so he knows everyone — you can even visit his home and meet his family. That made the experience feel much more authentic and personal. He has a deep knowledge of the area and took me on more interesting walking routes than I’d seen before. He also gave me free local snacks and drinks and never pressured me to buy anything, which some other guides tend to do. He even took me on a local train (which I really wanted to experience) to see the famous open-air laundry, Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat, which holds a Guinness World Record. I highly recommend doing this add-on at the end of the tour. I will definitely be recommending this guide to my friends when they visit.

It was informative (maybe too much so). Could have been shorter. Way too much talking in my opinion. Same thing over and over. It was definitely an eye opener and something to see for sure. But our guide, Hardick Tank, really insulted me. I was 1 of 2 women with 3 men. I am a regular sized woman- no broader or wider than ANY of the men, yet he called me out and told me I wouldn't fit down the alley so I'd have to shrug/shrink. Ridiculous - as there was plenty of room for me .... and the men for that matter.
