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.

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.

Abhishek was a great, welcoming guide to Dharavi! Seeing the neighborhood through the eyes of a local was a valuable experience for me.

The tour was definitely worth it, is a must see place. Our tour guide Shailesh was excellent, explained us in very good english the details about the slum , walked us through and showed us the places of both life and business within the slum. Organisation was perfect, everything on time. I can highly recommend.

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

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.

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.

A truly unique and culturally educational experience. Coordinating this tour through my hostel, I received the contact info of the owner the night before. On the morning of the tour, as I still had some questions, I reached out to the owner to address them. His response time was very satisfactory, informative and kind. The meeting point of the tour was an excellent choice. A minute at most from the train station,I met my wonderful guide at a delicious coffee shop. After meeting (raj) and enjoying a coffee we headed out for the tour. Raj shared so many interesting facts, he had patience to answer all my questions. He's an amazingly compassionate individual committed to making the lives of people in Mumbai better, while educating foreigners. This tour was recommended by a friend. I would highly recommend it, and advise you to request Raj as your tour guide.

Rajesh provided a very god tour. He was knowledgeable and was able to answer evey question. I learned a lot. The slum is nothing like I had thought it was going to be. Take this tour and find out for yourself (0% commission salesman).

Such a great experience to discover the real face of Dharavi, the way people live, how they work, that every kids go to school, that there is hospital and how active people are. The smiles of people will stay in our mind and we are really thankful for all the precious informations that our very nice guide Ragesh told us. He took time to explain us everything. Thank you to Shailesh for letting us visit his beautiful house and his warm welcome to all of us.

What a interesting tour! It all started with the pick up at our hotel, we walkt true the streets of Mumbai to the trainstation, we took the train as local people do and before we were in the slumps we already learnd so much about habits and living in India. Our guide (Raj) spoke perfect English and wanted to learn us everything to know. We were not allowed to take any pictures in the slumps because of the privacy of the people living and working there, I was glad I heard that because you have to respect all people. It's not a zoo!! The tour is a perfect way to see how everything works and how families living in the most areas in Mumbai. I would highly recommend to go on a tour with Raj because if you walk there by yourself you can look but you have no idea what you are looking at. Raj knows everything and brings you to places you would never come by yourself. Enjoy to all!
