although I have been in slums around the world, I felt the spirit and the struggle of the Dharavi slum in a close and personal way because of this excellent tour. I recommend Reality Tours and Travel wholeheartedly.

This ethical and respectful tour of the biggest slum in Asia is a reality check. Bringing an important yet sober positive perspective to live in the slums, our guide Deya did a wonderful job at highlighting the benefits and harships of living in the slum. An aspect of Mumbai that even the locals do not venture to brush with, but... More

The slum walking tour of Dharavi (featured in Slumdog Millionare) is by far one of the best experiences in Mumbai. Here you get a chance to understand life in one of the most crowed slums in the world. You see (and smell) the conditions people live and work in. The guides are locals who explain both the history of Dharavi... More

I took the tour (Dharavi Long Tour) between 2pm-6pm. It was an amazing experience. Sunny (the guide) was very friendly and he explained to us the social aspects of slum, the daily life of people, how they organized and so on.

We signed up for the bicycle tour the day after we arrived as a way to get to now the part of the city where we were staying. The tour started at 6.15 am, and was a good way to see Mumbai waking up. We went to the main sights - train station, Crawford Market, fish market and had a... More

A morning which will long live in the memory. There are a number of tour... More

I have done two tours with this company in the past week during my stay in Mumbai. The first was of the Dharavi slum - an experience which blew away all the stereotypes, provided a real insight into a city within a city that is vastly different from anything I know, and which proved ultimately uplifting. The second tour was... More

We visited Mumbai for the third time in March / April 2013, and, as we had three days there this time, decided to extend our horizons by getting deeper into the heart of the city than the more normal touristy areas of our previous visits. We booked this tour as the 'long' version to the Dharavi slums, which involved a... More

I took the Dharavi morning short tour and must say - it was one of the most memorable experiences in Mumbai. Luckily we ended up with a great group of people and our guide Askash had a fab wry sense of humour, was very informative and has mad break dancing skills to top it off! Very eye opening and provides... More
