Nice tour with Kavitha - Kavitha has been a nice guide, she is young and yet well known in Dharavi by workers in the shops, and she looked well informed about the life in it. We visited shops as well as the residential area. I would recommend a tour with her

Dharavi Slum with Kavitha - I did a tour in Dharavi Slum with Kavitha. She is a very good guide, and speaks English very well! She led us into the alleys where the slum inhabitants work, where there is a market, where they have schools. She explained how life works in the slum and answered all our questions. It was a great experience to tour with her and she never tried to sell us or let us buy something. Super recommended!

Impressive tour in the slumps - Our Guide showed us the different parts of the district, where different business activities can be seen: the pottery, the tanneries and the processing of plastic. Very impressive to see. The Guide spoke good English and gave clear explanations. Recommended!

Perfect tour with Kavita - We did this tour with Kavita. Such a nice and polite young woman, who knows everything about Dharavi. She grew up there, moves like she knows every angle of her town. Also the tour was very very safe. I was there with my two adult sons and we really recommend her as a tourguide. She is simply perfect. Thanks Kavita for that wonderful experience!
