Great tour educational and inspiring - Great tour and great to see that slum doesn’t have to mean crime and poverty. People live full, employed lives, children are educated - but living conditions are so cramped. Wonderful that our tour actually benefits the slum community. Thank you. Highly recommend.

Must try - Was so fascinating to be able to walk through and get an insight to life in Dharavi. Rehana was a great guide and knew first hand the answers to all our questions. Was also great to know the money spent on the tour goes back to supporting Dharavi
