5.00I had an incredible experience on the Dharavi slum tour, and I highly recommend it. Our guide, Viresh, was fantastic—professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Mumbai and Dharavi. His deep understanding of the area made the tour both informative and engaging. Viresh was very protective and considerate of me and my friend, especially navigating through the busy roads and crowded walkways within Dharavi. His attentiveness made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour. What I appreciated most was the factual and honest perspective Viresh provided. He openly discussed the challenges faced by residents of Dharavi, while also celebrating the vibrant culture, entrepreneurship, and resilience that thrive within the community. Overall, it was a fantastic tour that offered meaningful insights into life in Dharavi, balanced with genuine respect and admiration for the community. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in understanding the true spirit of Mumbai
