Fantastic tour! Alkam, my guide, was very attentive and knowledgeable. Mumbai is a hectic and busy place to visit, but at no time did I feel unsure or worried about my surroundings.

Rahul went out of his way to be helpful in many ways. He’d assigned us another guide, but upon hearing that we’d specifically picked him given the reviews that mention him, he rearranged his schedule to accompany us. He kindly helped with my phone recharge as well, and was thoughtful and pleasant throughout the tour.

He took us through the different sections of Dharavi, both commercial and residential, and provided light commentary along the way. Unfortunately, having done this tour a few years ago with a different company, we were disappointed by the lack of substance and knowledge imparted. We also paid extra for a 3-hour tour including Dhobhi Ghat, but that was merely getting out of the train, taking a couple photos, and hearing about it for a few minutes before we were back on our way. We were done with the full tour, meetup downtown to goodbyes, in 2 hours on the dot.

At the end, Rahul welcomed us into his home and asked us to take a few minutes to leave the review, which may explain a lot of the glowing commentaries.

Overall, he is a positive force in his neighborhood (particularly with schoolchildren for whom he arranges free teaching) and the money is for a good cause, which is why we have no regrets. Note, however, that most of the genuine Dharavi tours also give back a significant portion to their community.

What a relief to hear our guides first words in clear english and also be able to ask questions and be understood. He knew almost everyone we passed as he lives there and I felt completely safe as we worked our way through an absolute maze of narrow laneways and tiny businesses. It completely changed my view of a place to avoid to a place where they all look after each other.
