Full description
Explore the Dharavi Slum, the largest slum located in a megacity in Asia. The slum is now famous thanks to the Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire". The tour will open your eyes to this bustling area of small businesses and a thriving community. Start the journey by meeting your guide at Dharavi, and experiencing the everyday happenings of this unique area. Numerous small businesses are thriving in every corner, making anything from exotic soaps and handmade cosmetics, to pottery and textiles. Throughout the walking tour, benefit from being a small group. Stroll easily through the narrow alleys and see how locals live their life here. You'll have a chance to interact with many people in the community. You'll also learn how the local recycling industry works.  You'll also be amazed at how diverse Dharavi is, with many different traditions and beliefs gathered in the same place. Your 2-hour tour will end at a pottery factory, where you can ask the guide to get you a taxi. You can also add on a vegetarian meal in a local family's home if you would like to stay in the slum a bit longer.

Tour was good. The meeting point was easy and straight forward. I met other solo travelers who were going to other tours from the same company and was able to tag alone. The Slum tour was worth the value. They walk you through the commercial and residential areas of the slum. Although its quite quick, the tour guide walked too quick so you have to grasp everything quick. Would have been nice to be a slower walking tour to be able to take in and grasp more of what you're seeing. The tour is also kind of short but since I joined the other group where we took the metro and walked to what it seemed another slum, if felt more complete. Overall the value was good and what you see is very interesting and its a good place to meet other travelers. Only suggestion I have would be on the tour being slower and more detailed explanation from the guide tour as in more facts, etc. However, I still think it is 5 stars. It started on time, guide was respectful and courteous and cool.

Excellent tour. We were provided with great insights both in the residential area and the industrial area. Further we did a local taxi ride with other people from DHARAVI and topped it off with a local train ride. It was very insightful. Would recommend everybody. Only do with children above 14.
