Interesting Slum Tour - I recently had the opportunity to go on a slum tour, and it was an incredibly enlightening and memorable experience. My guide, Ruqaiyya, was professional, knowledgeable and deeply passionate about sharing the history and daily life within the slum. She provided detailed information that gave me a new perspective on the resilience and resourcefulnes of the community. Ruqaiyya’s storytelling skills and thorough explanations helped me understand the complexities of the area its challenges, history and the sense of community that thrives there. She was respectful in her approach, making sure the experience was both educational and meaningful without feeling intrusive. The tour was not only informative but also inspiring, as it highlighted the incredible ways people adapt and innovate despite difficult circumstances. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the realities faced by those in the slum, and the important social and cultural aspects of their lives. Kudos to Ruqaiyya for making this such a rewarding experience!

The best Tourist Guide - We had the incredible privilege of having Rukaiya as our guide during our slum tour of Dharavi, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rukaiya’s knowledge, professionalism, and warmth truly made the tour unforgettable. Her insights into the vibrant community, its industries, and daily life were both educational and eye-opening. She explained everything with such clarity and enthusiasm, making us feel connected to the stories of the people and the spirit of Dharavi. It’s clear that she is deeply passionate about showcasing the resilience, creativity, and hard work of the community. What stood out most was her approachable and friendly demeanor. She was patient with all our questions, ensured everyone in the group felt included, and made the entire experience comfortable and engaging. Her respect for the people and culture of Dharavi was evident, and she conveyed this to us in a way that made the tour deeply respectful and insightful. If you’re considering a Dharavi slum tour, I wholeheartedly recommend Rukaiya as your guide. Her passion, expertise, and kindness elevate the experience and leave you with a profound appreciation for the community and its people.
