Do this tour! - A very valuable and eye opening tour to see the many different cultures, jobs, schools and family living. It has changed my view of exactly what a slum is and means to the local people, I think this is an experience people should do in Mumbai for an overall better understanding. Balaji’s English was perfect and his explanations were interesting and easy to follow, his cheerful nature and knowledge made the tour 10/10!
