Great tour with deep knowledge - The tour was fantastic, as a generational local, Balaji was packed with deep knowledge of the slum, and was able to show us different sides of the place - business, markets, schools, playgrounds …
We had a great time and learnt a lot from Balaji, highly recommended if you are in Mumbai.

Amazing experience - I liked the tour to Dharavi Slumbs very much. The guide - Balaji - is very knowledgeable and responsible. I knew so much about the local people from him. And he takes his tourists off the beaten tracks - so, you can see the real life. I can recommend this company 100%

Balaji a great guide to use, thanks - I found Balaji through a search engine, he was not using the sponsored search which I like. I contacted him and he replied quickly and clearly.
The next day we met at the stated time and one other person joined us. We were shown around Dharavi and it was an incredible visit. I was taken to places, had I been on my own I would not have gone to, for fear of overstepping my welcome. Everyone we met was charming.
It was also of course very humbling and I think a very good visit for my last day in India.
Thank you Balaji
