Open-eyed and insightful tour! - We went on a tour with Sajid. The tour was very informative and insightful. We got to see all the areas in dharavi, from industrial to residential and market areas. It very much helps change our perspectives of the slum. The people are very friendly and nice there. Sajid is very knowledgeable about the area as he is living there as well and was ready to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend the tour!

Great - I got a chance to see Slum area in Diwali. Nice tour guide Sajid, gave very informative and detailed about this area. He said: “This area is not dangerous as others thought of it - that’s why he is doing this job, to show the world the opposite”. I can totally understand it after he took us through this tour.

Private tour in Mumbai slum - Very informative tour with Balaji, the tour guide. He did a great job showing the slum and explaining the life of people living there. We stopped at all the places indicated in the programme, but he showed me another place as well, at my request. Excellent occasion to learn about life in the slums.

"Inspiring and Educational Dharavi Tour with Shivam" - "Shivam gave us an insightful and truly eye-opening tour of Dharavi. He is knowledgeable, articulate, and speaks excellent English, making it easy for us to engage and learn from his explanations. Beyond the tour, we were inspired by Shivam's story—he's currently studying IT while working to support his family. His dedication and passion for his community really shine through. My family and I highly recommend booking a tour with Shivam for anyone looking for a meaningful experience in Mumbai!"

Unforgettable Slum Tour - I recently took part in a slum tour, and it was an incredibly moving and enlightening experience. Our tour guide G2 was thoughtfully organized, providing us with a respectful, genuine insight into the daily lives, resilience, and creativity of the community. From start to finish, our guide was amazing—knowledgeable, respectful, and passionate about sharing the stories of the residents considering he had once been apart of the community. He ensured that we were informed and considerate throughout, highlighting both the challenges and the triumphs of life in the area. I especially appreciated how our guide emphasized the community’s strengths, talents, and positive contributions rather than focusing solely on hardship and poverity. What impressed me the most is that a portion of the funds go back into the community i.e school. This whole experience left a deep impression on me and opened my eyes to things I hadn’t previously understood. It was a rare opportunity to learn about another side of life and come away with a sense of connection, respect, and admiration. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to understand more about the Dharavi Slums in respectful way.

Dharavi in Mumbai - I recently took an amazing tour through Dharavi in Mumbai and it was an experience that will stay with me forever. The tour was incredibly well-organized and led by a local guide G2 who provided deep insights into the community, history, and daily lives of the residents. We saw how people work in small-scale industries, like pottery, recycling, and leather goods, each contributing to the local economy in creative and inspiring ways. What stood out to me was the resilience, resourcefulness, and warmth of the people we met. Despite the hardships, I witnessed a vibrant community full of hope and talent. This experience has broadened my perspective on life, showing me that joy, dignity, and innovation can thrive in all circumstances. If you’re considering a slum tour, I highly recommend this one, but come with an open mind and a respectful heart. It's less about ‘tourism’ and more about understanding and connecting with the people who make these neighborhoods remarkable.

Very insightful trip - The tour is absolutely amazing in the sense of eye opening and real. The tour guide Gitoo did a great job in explaining everything and making it as respectful as possible. I think it's practically impossible to visit the slums without a guide. You wouldn't find your way in the maze.
