This was one of the coolest things we did in all of India. The guide was really kind and informative. We felt safe. On my particular tour, I was a little disappointed at the end, because we has spent a lot of time learning about the plastic recycling and the leather industry, but we really rushed through the pottery area at the end of the tour, which I would have liked to hear more about and spent some time there. Maybe we were out of time by then.

I have wanted to visit Dharavi since I heard the stories as a child. Leena was our guide. She is originally from and lives in Dharavi; she was patient and genuinely welcomed our questions. We learned a ton about the dynamic recycling economy as well as leather and pottery making. We came to know how there was a significant restructuring of housing after the 1992 Ayodhya related riots. We learned about the efforts to renovate the slums that have essentially been rejected by the community. It was an intimate tour that gave me a peak into this productive and proud community. I highly enjoyed and would definitely recommend. I think my kids would have enjoyed but it was nice to be without them so I could process and ask all my questions without having to attend to them.

The tour showed you a bit about life inside the slum. How the word slum is really the wrong word. There was a lot of industry within the slum and it really looked like life within the slum was like a city within a city.

Great tour, lots of explanations but the guide did not seem super happy to be here. He also asked us a few times in which hotel we were staying which made us uncomfortable… He also told us to write a review with 5 stars mentioning his name in the middle of the tour while he was sitting next to us… (I wrote it and then deleted) I wonder how much of all these 5/5 reviews are real vs forced

The trip was good , came to know so much about Dharavi & Dhobhi ghat. I was waiting for the photographs as there was one photographer in our group apart fromour guide

Dharavi is a vibrant, multifaceted community, once entirely informal but now with homes, factories, schools, supermarkets and more. This tour is eye-opening because, despite the haphazard buildings, narrow alleyways and such, it's not what most of us would imagine when we hear the word "slum". It's more like a working-class neighborhood. Our guide Alam lives in Dharavi and brought the place to life for us. Guides work in consultation with the community, to avoid intruding too much - photos of people's homes are discouraged, for example, and relatively conservative attire is best to avoid offending those who live there. There's a plan to redevelop the area, with investors set to make a lot of money from the prime Mumbai real estate. The question is what kind of community that would leave for the residents.

We both really enjoyed this experience and the guide we had added and made it more enjoyable. Filled with knowledge and being a local himself. We felt it was such a humbling experience for us both and definitely would do it again, given the opportunity.

This tour was very informative. I really appreciated Alam’s thoughtfulness as he took us through some of the deeper parts of Dharavi. It was also great to hear about his live experiences there during his childhood. I would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to understand this part of India.

Our guide could not have been more helpful. Nobody else was on our tour and he catered it to exactly what we were looking for and the timings too as we were in a bit of a hurry. Would recommend without any hesitation.

Our guide was born and lives in Dharavi and gave us a positive view of Dharavi. Highly recommended tour.

Go for it as long as it is still authentic experience. We had small worries that as Slumdog Millionaire's filming area it will not be authentic and tourist centric. I'm happy that we were mistaken. Not only guide tells you a lot about everything which is happening there including job, pays, way of living, customs, perspectives but as a local, who people from there really know, you have a strong feeling of safety and you are brought to places which normally you would not visit. You will see not only local workshops but also residential areas. Our guide was Maze and we truthfully wish you that he is available. On top you are clearly instructed where it is ok to make photos and where it is not. A lot of things will shock you, whether you watched any documentaries or not. And you will definitely change at least 40% of your beliefs if you are familiar with the topic. If you have never ever read or have been interested in this topic, this will be just jaw dropping experience. Worth every penny and after the trip we know we would pay triple the price for 'just walking with the guide' in this version. Highly recommend the trip and the company! If you are in Mumbai and have to pick just one place to go to, the choice should be this Slum with the guide.

Was amazing trip with the guide Maze. Thank you, I recomend it. Hope to do some more walking tours in difererents paths.

Mohammed the guide was excellent in his knowledge and kind and professional. It was an enlightening tour to be able to learn how this slum is a billion dollar profit making industry and is self sufficient. Great experience.

I had a fantastic time with my tour guide, Mohammad on our dharavi slum tour. During the whole tour, I felt very comfortable and learned so much about the slum. Mohammad provided many interesting facts about the community with a bright and friendly personality. I highly recommend this company to anyone that wants to learn more about the amazing culture of Dharavi. I garauntee you will have an amazing time and a deeper appreciation for the community that generates over a billion dollars in revenue! 10 out of 10 recommend!

Amazing tour. We visited many manufacturers (leather, plastic, soap, pottery...) The guide cares about community, asked not to take pictures. Everything is well explained.

Nice tour. Very good explanation of the history of Dharavi. Many interesting stops at various mini factories. I especially enjoyed seeing the plastic recycling process and the ceramics area. Mr. Ganesh was the guide and he did a great job. The tour started right on time, and he was helpful in finding transport back to my hotel afterwards. Some places were closed on Friday for the Muslim holy day, but most were still open. Do be advised that Dharavi isn't really a slum anymore, at least compared to other areas of Mumbai such as Bandra East. It's more an example of successful slum re-development projects from the 1990s through today, with many permanent dwellings and schools. I recommend you visit!

We had an incredible experience in this tour. Mr. Alam, our amazing tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and eagerly shared very interesting information regarding the slum community. He ensured our safety at all times and provided us with a very thorough view of the slum. He was also very helpful and showed a great sense of humor. I strongly recommend this tour and Mr. Alam.

Nice tour with friendly and knowledgeable local guides. Really enjoyed walking around in Dharavi and the southbound train ride to Dhobi Ghat.

The guide was well versed with the locality and gave a good briefing about the place and made us feel comfortable. Tour started on time as scheduled and everything went on as planned.

Good tour, covered a lot in little time, guide was very good and informative, Took us around the manufacturing side of the city
