Not a Slum Tour but a Exhibition of Hard Work - Amazing experience, Subhan was an amazing tour guide. . He was very knowledgeable about Dharavi and he gave us insite to all the hardworking people of this amazing town. This is not a tour of a Slum, it is a tribute to hard working entrepreneurs.

Mumbai Dharavi Slum & Dhobi Ghat Laundry Tour - We had an unforgettable experience on the Mumbai: Dharavi Slum & Dhobi Ghat Laundry Tour, guided by Ruqaiyya. Having grown up in Dharavi herself, she brought an authentic, insightful perspective that made the tour truly eye-opening. Ruqaiyya is incredibly well-educated, speaks excellent English, and was polite and engaging throughout. She explained the history, daily life, and resilience of the community with remarkable depth and empathy — giving us a meaningful understanding of Dharavi beyond the stereotypes. We felt completely safe the entire time, thanks to her warm and reassuring presence. She even went above and beyond by helping us purchase train tickets and waited until we boarded safely for our return journey. This tour was an unforgettable highlight of our Mumbai trip, and we’re incredibly grateful to Ruqaiyya for her professionalism and kindness. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mumbai! ✨ Thank you, Ruqaiyya, for an inspiring and memorable tour!

Great, insightful, eye-opening trip with Ruqaiyya - Ruqaiyya is a great guide, very knowledgable, with great English and open to every question you may have. She will show you Dharavi as it is, also pointing out broader context - urban, political, economical. I recommend it 100%.

Full recommendation! - We went on a private tour and it was really great! We have experienced the life in slams, heard a lot of information, saw how they live and all of that in our own pace (our guide never pushed us to hurry up or similar). This tour really opened our mind. I was pregnant so I had a mask just for any case. Riding a local train was also great experience and the tickets were included in the price. Our guide Ruqaiyya was really knowledgeable and kind. I was impressed how great her english was and she learned it by herself only on YouTube. She also changed the direction of the tour as finishing up on the south was more convenient for us.

Enlightening up-close experience - The tour is exactly what it says it is, in the best way possible! Ruqaiyya is amazing! She is an expert guide, in both guiding us through the alleyways and explaining in detail each aspect of this highly accomplished mini-city. She is friendly and sweet and happy to answer any and all questions about the slum. I definitely recommend this tour if you want a close look into the lives of those in Dharavi and Dhobi Ghat.

Great sights but the experience was very average - Seeing the laundry and Dharavi slums was very interesting. However our guide, Subhan spoke little Englisha Dan had very little experience in taking these tours, so lots of informal slots in translation. The train was a good experience however the guide seemed to quote all facts straight from Wikipedia, which was a little disappointing
