Gufran’s Slum Home Tour in the Mumbai Slums
Overview
Available languages

Come and spend some time with Gufran in his home, located in the largest slum of South Mumbai. He will share stories about growing up here and tell you about Slum Care, a social initiative he runs.
Meet his family and friends, share in the smiles and curiosity, and make this a memorable experience in your life.
Hello!
We’ll enjoy a nice hot cup of Indian tea after meeting at Regal Cinema, an iconic Art Deco theater in Colaba. Our next stop is Sassoon Docks—one of the oldest docks, built in 1875, and now one of the largest fish markets. Then, we’ll observe traditional laundry washing before heading to my home of 23 years in Ganesh murti Nagar slums, the largest slum in South Mumbai.
Here, you'll meet wonderful and interesting people—my family and friends. This is also where Gregory Roberts, the author of the worldwide bestseller Shantaram, lived for a long time.
I look forward to showing you an authentic slice of Mumbai life!

5.00Gufran, thank you for such a special day with you in Mumbai. From the very first moment, your open heart and warm personality made us feel completely welcome. You didn’t just guide us around — you welcomed us into your home, introduced us to your family, and made us feel like we truly belonged. Spending those hours with you felt less like being on a tour and more like spending time with a local friend. That made the whole experience authentic, personal, and unforgettable. It was also very moving to see the community work and initiatives you are leading. It’s clear that you care deeply about your family, but also about your community and the people around you. Your values, generosity, and dedication really stand out. We feel lucky to have met you🙏🏻
Dont overthink take Gufi!!!

5.00If you're visiting Mumbai, Gufi is the absolute best guide you can ask for. He drove us everywhere comfortably and showed us the city's highlights, including Victoria Station and Gandhi's house. The most touching part of the tour was the visit to the slums. Gufi invited us into his own home and showed us the school he runs for poorer children – a truly eye-opening and inspiring experience. Throughout the day, he explained Indian culture in a fascinating way. We ended the tour by sharing a fantastic meal together at a delicious, authentic restaurant. We felt like we were spending time with a friend rather than a guide. Highly recommended!

5.00Did a tour with GoofyTours in Mumbai with my family and it was honestly really amazing. The guide was super nice and one of the coolest parts was that he actually lives in the slums, so hearing about his own life was really interesting. You can tell he’s a really good person and he even helps run a school there. Walking through the slums was really interesting and eye opening. We did other stuff too but I’d honestly want to go back just to see more of the slums. Definitely something I’ll remember, would 100% recommend.
An eye-opening Mumbai tour

5.00On our first full day in Mumbai, our hotel arranged a tour for us with Gufi. He met with us at our hotel in the early morning, and we toured a fish market, a flower market, and a vegetable market. The colors were amazing, multiple opportunities for great photos. After a coffee, we toured a laundry, and the slum where Gufi lives. He invited us into his home for tea and to meet his family. We had many tour guides during our two week trip in India, but this was by far our favorite experience. Incidentally, for those who are interested, his language skills are excellent. Highly recommend.
Great guide!

5.00Gufi was our guide for two days. He showed us several viewpoints around Mumbai and shared a lot of information along with some fun facts. Gufi is very friendly and open, which made us feel comfortable right away. We had a great time.

5.00Gufran is a super friendly and happy guy. Easy to get along with and lots of fun!! He’s informative and shows you exactly what you want to see - the real Mumbai. I had a tremendous experience so much so that I recommended him to my sister and she took her family on a similar tour when they were visiting Mumbai. Strongly recommended.

A Life-Changing Experience with Gufram — The Heart of Mumbai

5.00If you visit Mumbai, please, do yourself a favor and meet Gufram. I have traveled a lot, but I have never met a guide like him — kind, humble, unbelievably knowledgeable, and so deeply connected to the real life of this city. From the moment you meet him, you feel safe, welcomed, and understood. He knows everything: history, culture, hidden corners, local habits — and he gives you advice with so much patience and honesty. He is funny, full of stories, speaks many languages, and is even learning Polish! But the experience that touched me the most was the real slum tour — something I will remember for the rest of my life. This is not a tourist show. This is real Mumbai. Real people. Real stories. Gufram is the founder of the SlumCare Foundation, and every tour supports his community. He shares his own journey too — arriving in Mumbai at 15 with nothing but dreams to support his family, and working hard ever since. Listening to him while walking through the narrow lanes… it is impossible not to feel it deeply. He also took me to the incredible outdoor laundry where most of Mumbai’s hotels wash their linens — an entire world of hard work and resilience. Seeing all of this with Gufram’s explanations made everything so raw, so human, so emotional. This tour left me speechless. Truly. It changed the way I see Mumbai, India, and even my own life. It made me grateful, humble, and open in a new way. If you come to Mumbai, do not leave without doing this tour. Be open, be brave, and let Gufram show you the Mumbai that travelers rarely see. It is not just a tour. It is an experience that stays in your heart forever.
Great tour of the city

5.00Gufram was a terrific guide and gave me a very unique tour of the city that I don’t think I would have gotten elsewhere. It was a real pleasure spending the day with him.
