Great learning experience in Dharavi - Ruba, our guide, is a wonderful host, very nice and answering all our questions. It was very interesting to hear about the industrial applications held inside of Dharavi, and to get an idea of how 60% of the people in Mumbai live. Harsh at times, but very educational experience.

Must-see tour - Ravi gave us an incredibly insightful tour, he explained everything very well, and went out of his way to accommodate us - we 100% recommend! Ravi being a local himself made a big difference, he could answer all of our questions and gave us insight into what it's like to live and work in Dharavi. Thank you!!

Dharavi - a cant miss, eye opening experience - Eye opening, and a way of living unto its own. I had the privilege of touring Dharavi with Priti, my experienced and insightful guide and also a habitant. She shared stories and details only an insider would know, and took me on an unforgettable walking experience through the real life Mumbai for millions. It’s not shiny glass and mirrors of the downtown. It’s the plastic car parting, the color wire separating, the hand sewing that keeps the masses working. And also the kids playing cricket in the streets, the shop vending, and the vibrant and colorful feel of hope and life. Take the tour, and make sure you ask for Priti.
