This was the best tour ever - We went with Nik, Dev and the team for both the food tours and the slum tour. It was eye-opening and fantastic. Never have we experienced a trip like this before - the tour of the laundry and the slumdog tour brought us to meet with real people, working living, educating in one of the biggest cities in the world. Nik and the team are incredible, informed, warm, funny, generous, educators, running their own NGO to help schools and families in Mumbai - do this tour if it is the one thing you want to do.

This was incredible - An absolute MUST! We are a family of five with 3 three children aged 3,8 and 10 and on both tours the whole family absolutely loved it. Nick was amazing, so gracious,friendly,knowledgeable,kind and professional. The tour of the slums was incredible , having a tour meant you were able to see a totally deeper level of the city. Nick was very generous with his time and sweet to the children. We were picked up directly from the hotel.He has his own ngo and with the light and knowledge you are given from the experience you come away wanting to do everything you can to help. Fantastic company.The next day we went on another tour of ghandis house and the laundry and the hill with another guide called Deve who like nick was fantastic. We wouldn’t have seen Mumbai any other way. This company is simply fantastic, we came away from Mumbai feeling like we had got under the surface . Thank you so much!

A girls holiday to India - Me and my two friends had an amazing time on the tour with Nikesh. He spoke perfect English. He was really well informed as he had grew up there. He had a really good knowledge of Mumbai and was able to give us lots of tips for our trip (which were really useful). The price was extremely reasonable and I would 100 percent recommend him to anyone that wants to take a tour in Mumbai. His company is a local small company that he has set up himself so at the same time we were helping a small local business thrive.

One of the best and most authentic experiences of my life! - When we thought of doing a tour in Dharavi, we were unsure at first, wondering if it was ethical to visit a slum. But we decided to go ahead and followed Nick who knew this world very well. The entire time, we felt very safe, welcomed and cared for. We had a great time with Nick, who rapidly became a friend, and we discovered the incredible world of Dharavi. We danced, and ate and had a great time with the locals, and even got invited to a wedding! It was truly an amazing experience, and I would recommend any of the other tours with this team, because they make you feel comfortable and know how to show you the unique sides of Mumbai, while respecting the local culture. Don't miss out!

Mr - Was a little apprehensive booking the Dharvi tour but as soon as I met Nick I was instantly reassured. His knowledge of the area is outstanding and the tour was great. A very likeable young man. Highly recommend doing this tour as it will stay with you for a long time.

Fascinating! - My partner and I were recommended this tour by our hotel as we were at a bit of a lose end on our final day in Mumbai. I must admit to being a bit apprehensive and not sure what to expect..... However Nick came to meet us and was very charming and immediately I felt at ease. We took a local train to Dharavi where we were shown all the amazing industries that are thriving there including a tannery where it is possible to buy the handmade goods produced there, a soap factory, recycling if plastic, pottery. It was amazing! Such friendly hardworking people who were all ready to say hello with a big smile. I've got to say this tour is the most fascinating and enlightening thing I did in Mumbai and would highly recommend it. A truly wonderful experience!
