Great tour with Sajid! - We really enjoyed our tour with a true local, Sajid. He explained & showed us all of the industries in the slum, what the homes were like, took us through dark narrow alleys and showed us the schools & playground. His English was good. It was everything we wanted this tour to be. Communication with Ravi on picking the day & time of the tour plus making a last minute change was also good. Great value with this tour!

Experiencing Dharavi with a local - Ravi lives and breathes his own quarter and knows all the details you want to know and learn about. The whole tour was very personal and did not feel intrusive at all. I really enjoyed having a personal tour and all my questions have been answered. Ravi was the perfect guide, therefore I have booked additional tours with him, which I also can recommend

Dharavi tour with Ravi - I see Ravi in a Youtube Video in a German travel influencer and wrote him afterwards. He is very courteous and it was easy to find a perfect date. We arranged the tour at dusk. Ravi picked me up close to my accomadation, and he has show me also to go by local public transport. The tour was very amazing. I felt always safe and were able to ask really a lot of questions to Ravi. He answered nearly everything and the less what he didn't instantaneously he arranged to get the information. I am deeply impressed, how happy the people in Dharavi are and stand together to organise everything they need for good social life. So, I don't often write reviews, but I can recommend Ravi for a tour through Dharavi. He is trustful und take all extra costs which rises up. Also for the barber we take together. Thank you Ravi, for the sustainable experiance.
