Absolutely fascinating - We had the BEST time on this tour into the labyrinth of Dharavi. Our tour guide, Rakesh, is a Dharavi local and he was great! He helped immerse us in the spirit of Dharavi. It was amazing to see how proud he was of the place that has such a community spirit. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Mumbai. If you're lucky enough, you'll have Rakesh as your guide too!!

Dharavi Walking Tour - I booked a tour directly with Mumbai Dream Tours for a walking tour of Dharavi. Our tour guide Rajesh was very personable and great at articulating the history and facts about Dharavi. He joked around with us and made us feel comfortable in asking questions. The walking tour was for about 2 hours and we got to see the commercial and residential sides Dharavi. I would definitely recommend the tour as well as the tour guide!

Dharavi, heart of Mumbai! - Truly incredible and eye opening experience with our amazing guide Abhishek. Very knowledgeable about the industrial and residential parts of Dharavi. Lovely to hear so many unique facts about Dharavi and seeing people go about their daily lives. A beautiful and memorable chat with bubbly kids full of personality and questions. Truly the heart of Mumbai!

Educational/Motivational/Appreciative - We very much enjoyed learning about the people, businesses and how they live in Dharavi. Did you know in that 2.5 km area they generate over $1 billion in revenue every year. Despite all of their hardships, they appeared to be happy. It made me appreciate even more all that I have. I was impressed with how hard they work to generate a meager income. Our tour guide Rikesh, spoke beautiful English, I never had to strain to understand him. I highly recommend this tour.
