5.00I had an incredible experience with Bharti during the tour of Dharavi and Dhobi Ghat. It was so much more than just a tour — it truly felt like a deep cultural experience. Bharti was an amazing guide: knowledgeable, friendly, and very passionate about what she does. She didn’t just show us places, she helped us understand the history, the community, and the everyday life in a very respectful and insightful way. Visiting Dharavi with her completely changed my perspective, and Dhobi Ghat was fascinating to see up close. What made it really special was the way Bharti connected with us and made everything feel authentic and meaningful. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mumbai. It’s not just a tour — it’s something you will remember and learn from
