My wife and I did this tour with Abi, the tour guide who lives in Dharavi.
This was a 'must see' part of our stay in Mumbai.
The tour itself was excellent. To see how the people live side by side was a real eye-opener a completely humbling experience.
Our tour guide Abi, was exceptional. He spoke very good English, and being born and raised in the area meant he knew it intimately and told us of the history, the people and the industries within, warts and all.
Towards the end of the tour we were taken to see Abi's home, where we were made
most welcome and was able to see the conditions in which he and his family live. Once again, humbling but also a privilege.
If there's only one tour that you do in Mumbai, make sure it's this one. With luck, you will get Abi as your guide. He has a passion for what he does and where he lives - a truly unique experience with an exceptionally talented and engaging young guide.
