Fantastic, shocking, honest, and authentic insights into the 'slum' system. In any case, highly recommended for getting to know Mumbai in its entirety. Shruti as a guide and Saytam as a driver were absolutely top-notch!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad you found the tour informative and gained a unique insight into everyday life in Dharavi. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again!
We really enjoyed our Dharavi tour and found it a great insight into both the residential community and the thriving commercial side of Dharavi. It was fascinating to see the different industries and businesses operating within the area, as well as get a glimpse into everyday life. A special mention to our guide, Krishna, who was excellent. As a resident of Dharavi himself and an English-speaking guide, he was able to give us a really personal perspective and answer all of our questions. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. One little tip for anyone doing the tour — it’s a nice idea to take some sweets or small treats with you to give to the local children. They don’t ask for anything, but we took some with us and it was so lovely to see how happy and excited the kids were when we gave them something. Overall, a really interesting and memorable experience, and we would definitely recommend Krishna as a guide.
Thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the Dharavi tour and gained a unique insight into the community.
