Dharavi slum tour - highly recommend (Tour guide: Dev) - Dev was our tour guide and took us on a tour of the Dharavi slum which was very interesting, eye opening and worth doing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly and super accommodating. He also tailored the tour to suit our needs which was great and we felt safe for the duration of our tour. Highly recommend, thanks Dev! 👌🏻

Best Guide in Mumbai - While this was a difficult place to visit it was a great addition to our touring in Mumbai. Our guide Anthony was excellent, one of the best guides we have had. He was knowledgeable, dependable and helpful. He knew and understood the working of Dharavi. If you book this tour ask for Anthony!

Probably the best tour I did - I’m currently travelling a lot of places and I can tell you that this tour was the best I’ve ever had. Abishek has been very interesting and interested showing us everything. We went through the factories and residential area. Passing by the narrowest streets I’ve ever seen. Always in good security thanks to our guide. Also Abishek knows lots of people there and made us feel really welcome. We could see the factories and businesses, very enlightening for a European guy. I’m very grateful that I had this opportunity with such a good guide. He was amazed that people coming from really far would get curious to come. Do not ever hesitate to book this tour.

A must-see in Mumbai - It was a very interesting tour - even though we, like many of you, had concerns about going into a slum as tourists. Our guide came from the slum and knew the area very well. He gave us clear instructions about taking photos etc. And: we were never begged for anything, we always met friendly people.... I can highly recommend Mukesh, our driver, and his brother, our guide!!!

I was so lucky to take this tour! - I wanted to spend an half day in Mumbai, while I was waiting for a flight in the evening. So, I initially booked a tour to visit Elephanta Cave, but it needed to be canceled due to the visit of the President Modi to Mumbai. Instead, the tour operator offered me to join this tour, and I agreed. The tour was led by the two guides, Raj and Abhishek. They were professional yet very friendly and I really enjoyed their company. In this tour, they let me witness the real life of the people living in the slum. The word “slum” is generally used in a negative context, but Indian slum is different. People in the slum actually are living positively and happily. After all, I thought I was lucky to have an opportunity to this tour, due to the unexpected cancelation of the initial plan.

Amazing guidance service and greatly safe! - I had one of my best tours in India! The tour guide DEV was just so energetic, super cheerful, positive and a perfect personality to ease and make you familiar and friendly with any type of new realm. He made me feel home in Dhravi. His english was very understandable. Whenever I had a question he just replied immediately. He was full of interesting information. You could say that he is really enjoying his work. I am so happy to get to know DEV. He made the trip memorable! thank you again.
