Dharavi

Voyeuristic poverty tourism? Gawking at the misery of the underprivileged? If this is your idea of a Dharavi slum tour, then you're severely mistaken. Tours of Dharavi in Mumbai, the largest slum in Asia, have grown in popularity in recent years -- but for a very good reason. These tours aim to dispel any notions that people may have of Dharavi being a place of misery, and are actually very inspiring. We show what people are capable of achieving despite adverse conditions.

    Shailendra was excellent from the moment we met him asked about what we wanted to get out of the tour and what we wanted along the way. He never disappointed, his in-depth knowledge of the area and deep understanding of its rich history. Bonus he is from the area so we actually felt part of it. From the crowded trains (experience real Mumbai) to squeezing through the narrow lanes of Dharavi "It was an eye opener, awesome experience" "Fascinated by how it all just works and everyone works together to make things work" from my 16 year old.

    I 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

    I had an incredible experience with our guide, Shailendra Pandey, during our visit to Mumbai. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about the city’s history and made our journey truly memorable. We explored the Dharavi slum, took a thrilling ride on the open-door local tram, and wandered through vibrant markets. Shailendra is not only well-informed but also a genuinely pleasant person, making the entire experience enjoyable. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to him and the entire Mumbai guide team. The service and warmth you provide to tourists deserve global recognition. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure in Mumbai!
