A deep dive into Dharavi with Pooja - We had a wonderful experience on our Dharavi tour with Pooja. From the moment she met us at the starting point, we felt an instant connection. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful - and we were all so inspired to learn that she’s the first female guide from Dharavi itself. It felt deeply meaningful to support such an empowering initiative for women in the community. Pooja guided us through every part of Dharavi with care and insight. She explained the fascinating history of the area, the different types of work happening in each section, and how the community functions as a living, breathing ecosystem of creativity and resilience. We loved learning that the name Dharavi comes from Dhara (stream) and Ravi (sun), symbolizing a beautiful blend of flow and light. Everywhere we went, it was heartwarming to see how warmly people - especially children, greeted her. It was clear she’s deeply respected in her community. Thanks to her, we were able to see sides of Dharavi that we never could have discovered on our own. Thank you, Pooja, for a truly memorable, eye-opening, and inspiring experience. And apologies for this review coming a little late - it’s only because the memories have stayed with us so strongly! 💜

A fascinating and informative tour. - A fascinating and informative tour with Sneha of her home and her community. She was friendly and knowledgeable. As well as seeing life and work in Dharavi slum Sneha pointed out some Slum Dog Millionaire filming locations.

Wander around the lesser known streets of Mumbai - Interesting tour around the Dharavi slum in Mumbai with a local lady. Sneha was friendly and informative as she showed us around her community. We even walked through the chaotic traffic like locals!

Eye-Opening Experience with an Amazing Guide - We had a fantastic tour of Dharavi with Adil as our guide. This young man truly had a compelling story to share—he was incredibly friendly, spoke excellent English, and provided valuable insights into the daily life, work, and living conditions in the slum. I learned so much about the community and its resilience. This tour is a must-do for anyone looking to gain a real understanding of life in Dharavi. Highly recommended!
