Dharavi Slum Tour - Ruba and her trainee were amazing guides. Gave us really good insight into the inner workings of the slums. Never felt unsafe but certainly stayed vigilant through the tight quarters. This tour really makes you appreciate life outside of the slums. Highly recommend asking for Ruba!

Slum Tour with Ruqaiyyasid - We went on a fascinating and eye-opening slum tour with Ruqaiyyasid. She was not only extremely dedicated to answering all of our questions, but she also went above and beyond to explain the history, culture, and daily life of the community. Her passion for sharing authentic stories and her respect for the people living there were truly inspiring. She made us feel comfortable throughout the experience and ensured we understood the importance of seeing this side of Mumbai. I can wholeheartedly recommend booking this tour with her to anyone visiting Mumbai. It’s a unique, memorable, and deeply insightful experience that offers a deeper understanding of the city.

Slums from Mumbai - Today was a very interesting day we visited Mumbai’s slums, such as Dharavi, offers a profound perspective on resilience and community spirit. Known for its vibrant industries, including leather, pottery, and textiles, the “wash slum” is central to this ecosystem. Residents work tirelessly in small, tightly-packed spaces, balancing labor-intensive jobs with family life. The area is a hub of micro-entrepreneurship and resourcefulness despite limited infrastructure. Hygiene challenges and overcrowding contrast with the evident pride and creativity in their work. Guided tours, when conducted respectfully, highlight the complexities of life here, offering a nuanced view of poverty, hope, and human potential amidst adversity.
