Impressive tour of Dharavi & Dhobi Ghat - Our sympathetic and knowledgeable guide Yash grew up in Dharavi and gave us an impressive insight in life in the slums. We were especially happy to have also visited the Colaba Dhobi Ghat (instead of the larger Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat where you cannot enter inside) and were able to see the laundry process from inside, and also all the trades, schools, living quarters and more. Linda Tours is done by local guides which ensures that your choice benefits them. We definitely recommend them and Yash!

An exceptional experience! - We went on a tour with Ruqaiyya. She did an amazing job showing us the slums! You come to appreciate the hardworking people in the community and how organized their collective effort is. We truly think this tour has changed our definition of a “slum”. One of the best tours we’ve had in India!

Amazing experience at dharavi slum! - This tour was incredible. There are so many stereotypes that we as foreigners believe and this tour shows that all of them are wrong. Chirag was an incredible tour guide who lives in the slum. The people are all amazing and kind and so proud of where they live. They are all self sufficient and work very hard to provide for their families. The factories in the slums are amazing and innovative. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone, foreigner or local. Ahbi is an amazing driver who is super knowledgeable about the city and the area. He is kind and ready to answer any questions as well as have a good laugh.
