Thank you very much!
I learned a lot about the slums and also danced with the children. It was a wonderful experience. The only thing I regret is that I wanted to interact with more children and local people. It was a wonderful experience even without that!

Amazing Walking Tour through the slums
Phenomenal tour with Balaji - it was an eye opener to walk through the slums, and he introduced a lot of Indian history not just about the Dharavi slums! He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend.
