It was our second tour from this company, the first one was - Bollywood Private tour. It was informative excursion for us, because we represented slums otherwise. I wouldn’t explain all that we saw inside, I think, it’ll be better to see and to feel by yourself. I just want to mention professionalism of the company and our guide, who’s name was Farzan. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Aman is an excellent guide. My husband and I had a great time. He is punctual, easy going ans very well informed. We highly recommend Aman!

This was my second trip with World of Bollywood Tours, because the first one (Best of Mumbai Private City Tour with Lunch and Transport) was so good. I figured I couldn't see Dharavi without a guide and this proved to be the case. You would never be able to navigate without a guide and you wouldn't really have any context for what you would see. Yahya, my guide, was born there and lives there still. He took me on a 90+ minute route through a maze of passageways, roads and alleys. Dharavi is a hive of activity, every few steps you'll see something new. Yahya explained how the industrial and residential parts of the community work. For example, he showed me how plastics are gathered, broken down and sorted, cleaned, dried, turned into pellets, etc. For example, he showed how cardboard gets cleaned up and repurposed. He showed where people live, go to school, the doctors, etc. He answered about a million of my questions with great graciousness and a pride of his community. I didn't take many photos. It seemed disrespectful and I heard that it might be considered rude. I don't think photos or videos could really do justice to the experience anyway. I found it very inspiring. Dharavi seems to do a fantastic job of recycling, reusing and repurposing. Don't we all need to do this? The amount of human endeavour and enterprise truly impressed me. Slum seems a pejorative term for Dharavi. I won't be using it. Tiger, who took me round the city on my previous tour, picked me up again from my hotel. It was good to see him. He took me by cab to Dharavi and brought me back by train. I don't know if this was standard, but he knew I hadn't ridden the train and wanted to. I got to lean out of the carriage door like a local and see how the system works. Thank you Yahya. Thank you Tiger. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent guide. Did a great job. Explained the rationale behind the area. Coming from Australia it can be confronting. However our guide explained while it works for his people. Highly recommend.

Had a perfect half day tour with my local guide Farzan who was very knowledgeable and happy to share his real life experiences where a local resident with first hand experience. This was my third tour with Bollywood tours and highly recommend them as you will feel safe and secure at all times and they are very punctual as well. Farzan is a true asset to the team and if you have the pleasure of Farzan being your guide you won’t be disappointed ☹️. Thanks for a great day out and eye opening experience.

This tour was the highlight experience of our 5 days in Mumbai. Our guide, Farzan, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and experienced as he expertly guided us through the streets of Dharavi

What ever you think you know before you visit Dharavi will not survive this exceptional tour of the 'slum'. My tour guide Farzan is a local and he brought his passion and pride in this, his home, to the tour. He was articulate and informative at all times and I certainly felt completely safe under his guidance. This tour was one of the most 'human' experiences I have ever had the privilege to be a part of. This was my 2nd tour with World of Bollywood tours and as with last time the owner Rahil was a pleasure to work with and Farzan was the perfect host. This tour might not be for everyone but if you are looking to understand Mumbai fully, have an open heart and a willingness to experience life in a way most of us never will then sign up. Farzan will change your expectations.

Our guide Farzan was excellent: informative, funny, serious about his home area, protective of us, and knowledgeable. We saw sights we will never forget. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Farzan. We felt safe all the same while exploring the most hidden corners in the slum. You can enter local factories with Farzan and he explains you everything in detail. We never felt rushed, and you just get lost in time wandering around the narrow streets. The people living there are super friendly, you never feel misplaced. We highly recommend the tour!

It was an amazing tour with my lovely friends. I really enjoyed this place. We have visited to the place so excited.

My tour guide, Farzan, is a life long resident of Dharavi, and provided an outstanding tour. The tour was thorough, authentic and educational. The most surprising part is how much better the residents are doing there, and with their educational opportunities, the children have tons of opportunities ahead of them. I was also surprised at the amount of industry hidden there, which is growing in a positive direction. Having Farzan provide the tour provided incredible insight and legitimacy, and I highly recommend this tour.

I was looking spontaneously for a late afternoon tour through Dharavi. Mr. Rahil Khan was the only one who could provide me a tour guide plus airport drop off all within a time frame of 3 hours. He personally picked me up at the meeting point and would let me know all the details and more about Mumbai before the tour started. My tourguide Farzan was extremely knowledgeable about Dharavi, had very impressive conversation skills and would know every corner of the neighborhood. I highly recommend taking him as a tourguide as he will make you feel safe and has very interesting local insights that you cannot possibly find on the internet. Definitely a must do tour as it was the one memory I kept from Mumbai.

Took this tour today. Yahya the guide did an excellent job explaining theindustries and lifi in the slum. Very good English and answered all my questions. He arrived early to my hotel and made sure the whole tour went smoothly. Ralih - his boss - was great, as well. Great communication during the booking and also called to make sure the tour was going well. I’d use this agency again for other tours in the future,

I would recommend this tour to anyone. Yahya is an impressive guide giving a full in site of life in the slums. Very informative and able to answer any questions. He made me feel safe from the time he picked me up from the hotel to the time he dropped me back. He has changed my perception and what I thought I was going to see. I would say don’t go for the cheap options, this option was the best! If you are travelling alone in India, which can be daunting then this is the tour for you! Communication was good from the time of booking to the pick up and drop off. Yahya you are the man, thank you for a life changing experience.

Exhilarating tour. Our guide Yahya was very informative and caring. We give him 11 out of 10. An experience we will never forget. All arrangements were professionally handled. Couldn't believe how courteous and kind everybody was. Even the free spicy cornflakes were delicious!

I wish it was possible to give more than five dots for this tour. Superb organisation, Rahil kept in contact with our driver Arvan and guide Tiger during the day to make sure all was well. We were collected from our hotel on time, early in fact, and driven to the slum with stops of interest along the way. Tiger is a delightful young man and we enjoyed his company. When we arrived at the slum we were introduced to our guide Farzan and what a guide he turned out to be. What was supposed to be a two hour tour turned into four and he was a font of information as he lives in the slum. One million people live there and generate an income of $US 1 billion per annum through enterprise and hard work in conditions that would not be acceptable in the Western world. Great respect to you all. We saw recycling, leather working, pottery, engineering and fabric dyeing. We were taken through the residential area where some of the alleyways were single file. We were treated to masala chai made by a man working in a space smaller than a wardrobe who was doing a roaring trade. There are schools, doctors, dentists, pharmacies even hospitals and so many shops, it really is a city within a city. We came away with a sense of respect and admiration for a real community working together where there is harmony no matter who you are or what your religion is. A real lesson for the rest of us. The company even took us to lunch at the end which was completely unexpected and thoroughly enjoyed. Big thanks to all involved, Rahil, Tiger, Farzan and Arvan. A tour not to be missed.

My personal review about the tour ...... the only reason why I wanted to do this tour was because I’m extremely adventurous and like exploring how the locals live whilst I travel. We were talked out of it many times by lots of people ... especially the Mumbai affluent locals - which shows how ignorant they are. This tour was probably the highlight of my Mumbai holiday. I throughly enjoyed it. Farzan was such an amazing tour guide. He is smart, bright, intelligent and very witty. We could not have asked for a better guide. His English is exceptional too. It’s a pity I didn’t have more time as I would’ve loved to buy a few leather bags and get a few leather jackets made. I also enjoyed shoaib - he too was a good guide and made us feel at home and alleviated our fears I rate this tour 5 out of 5 and wish that more people would go on it to open their eyes instead of being so negative 🙏🏻

Khan was an intelligent young man and tour guide. I appreciated the opportunity to spend the afternoon with him and learn more about the day to day life and complexity of the Dharavi slum. I was particularly interested to see and learn first hand about the involved recycling industry and where our unwanted goods are processed by hardworking but unprotected workers. Khan was forthcoming with information and didn’t hesitate to answer my constant questions. As a single women I felt very safe in his hands.

We are beyond happy with this service and would recommend it to anyone. So thankful we booked through this company as we had thought about trying to navigate the area by ourselves. That would have been a mistake as we would never have been able to see all of the things our incredible, knowledgeable and fun guide, Yahya, had to show us.

I've wanted to visit the Slums for years - all thanks to Slumdog Millionaire! ... as I'm sure is the case for many of you reading this! And this tour didn't disappoint! Rahil and his wife organised everything from the hotel pick up and drop off and the tour itself which was given by Rahul, wonderful guy - friendly, fun - and the best bit, he lives in the slums! ... so knows it like the back of his hand - we felt in very safe hands. So knowledgeable and took us round the many entrepreneurial businesses set up in the slums - which BTW make millions and millions of USD! Utterly inspiring! Then he also took us round the living areas too - eye opening and again fascinating to see how people there, live. I still don't know how they do it! But the people are wonderfully friendly and don't seem to mind random strangers walking round their back yard! The company we used give money back into the slum communities which I'm sure the locals are very grateful for. It really is a thriving, supportive community - not to be missed! Very humbling and I felt we could learn a lot from these guys in our 'western' day to day lives. All in all - this was a fantastic trip. Rahul - our Slum Guide was fantastic - loved him! And Rahil and his wife were just lovely people - helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely want you to have the best time - and we definitely did! Would highly recommend. Its a private tour and so costs more than a larger organised trip but to get personal service and a personal guide for the slums was worth every single penny! My dream was fulfilled ... and it ticked every box for me! Thanks to all the team.
