Fantastic service & unique experience - I got picked up on time at my Hotel by Pranav who drove me savely to Dharavi. As he grew up in Dharavi he already told some inside stories which I really appreciated. From there on Ruqaiyya guided me through Dharavi and its (for me) hidden ways. She provided super interesting and also detailled informationen on the manufactoring, the housing as well as schools, administration and the area in general. It was like seriously one of the best tours I ever did.
After Pranav was so kind to stop by at a market driving the "extra miles" and would have dropped me at any place in Mumbai. Fantastic service.
