Balaji was an absolutely amazing guide. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Mumbai; a truly eye-opening experience.

Deepak was a brilliant guide and showed me around with brilliant explanations and answering all my questions. I was a bit sceptical thinking it would be a ‘poverty tourism’ thing, but it really opened my eyes to the way of life, work and living there is in Dharavi. Highly recommend the tour and Deepak as a guide.
