Description

Dharavi is the largest slum in India, located in Mumbai. It became famous after the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" was inspired by it. Dharavi is a unique place to explore, with a population of around one million people and a literacy rate of 69 percent. The slum has an impressive entrepreneurial culture, with small-scale industries such as pottery, leather production, textiles, and recycling. As you walk through the narrow alleyways, you can see skilled artisans creating useful products out of discarded materials.

The largest slum and the amazing tour

We had a fantastic experience on our private tour with Ravi! He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire day. Ravi shared fascinating insights about the local history, culture, and places we visited, making the experience both enjoyable and memorable. The tour was well organised and relaxed, and Ravi was happy to accommodate our interests and questions. His warm personality and attention to detail really made the experience special. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a knowledgeable and personable guide. Thank you, Ravi, for such a wonderful tour and for making our day so memorable!

Very interesting tour

We did the tour with Kavitha, great ease in meeting at the meeting point, very friendly and complete explanations with a lot of detail. The tour is super interesting and it is worth noting that even though we were 2 girls accompanied also by Kavitha, at all times we felt safe. We recommend this tour 100%.

Operator response

¡Muchas gracias por su fantástica reseña y por recomendarnos al 100%! Le transmitiré sus amables palabras a Kavitha. En Navigate Mumbai Tours nos alegra mucho saber que se sintieron seguras y que disfrutaron de las detalladas explicaciones durante el recorrido. ¡Esperamos volver a recibirlas en el futuro!

Dharavi

The Dharavi tour was truly one of the most memorable parts of our time in Mumbai. It offered us a unique and eye-opening view of the neighbourhood, its residents, and the impressive businesses and activities that take place within the community. Kavita was an excellent guide. She was friendly, professional, and extremely well informed. Her explanations were easy to understand, interesting, and full of valuable details. She patiently answered every question and created a relaxed and respectful atmosphere throughout the visit. Thanks to Kavita, we gained a much deeper understanding of Dharavi’s history, daily life, culture, and strong community spirit. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone travelling to Mumbai. Thank you, Kavita, for such an informative and unforgettable tour!
