Great experience in Mumbai with Raj - Excellent explanation and help to find our way in the city. Nice to learn the ins and outs from a local expert, Raj. Very helpful and very kind.

Unique Experience in Dharavi (Mumbai) - The quality of this experience really depends on the experience of the guides. We were lucky to have Mukesh (driver) and Abhishek (local guide) who are neighbors, grew up and still reside in Dharavi. So, they really showed us the areas, both the industrial and the residential sides in details. It was a great learning experience and very happy to see how they are and to live independently in such challenging conditions. We felt safe to follow the guide through the various dark and narrow walkways that we would not recommend anyone to attempt on their own. There is a leather shop (Dharavi) that did tannery and produced some nice local products that would make a great souvenir and a good way to support their spirit. It is a unique experience and I personally highly recommended it. However, please note that some people (not I personally) had considered that the 2-hour duration was too long.

Everything was wonderful - Abhishek's tour was really unique and he explained everything very clearly. I felt completely at ease during the whole tour and I got a lot of impressions of life in the slums. His English is excellent and he is a really nice guy! I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get an authentic impression :) Thank you!

A Sunday well spent - I took a tour with Mystical Mumbai and Shailesh was our guide for the day. It was a really insightful and fun 2.5 hours walking tour of Dharavi and Kumbharwada. Shailesh was really articulate and on point with his information and it was so delightful known this well-known yet less explored part of maazhi Mumbai I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves exploring and knowing places in-depth

Life in Dharavi - It was an eye-opening and fascinating experience to walk through the streets of Dharavi and to learn about the people, neighborhoods and the thriving industries/businesses within Dharavi. This self contained community is full of life and is a must see. Nikesh was my guide and he was knowledgeable since he also lives in Dharavi which made the experience much more authentic.

Dharavi slum - Fascinating. Learned that a slum should not be thought of as only a bad thing. I saw where people work, shop, and live. Knowledgeable and friendly guide.
