A very good and important tour. Our guide was fantastic and showed us around in a way that felt respectful to the people working and living in Dahravi. I can very much recommend this tour to get a better understanding of the slum.

Reality Gives are working as a part of Dharavi & 80% of the proceeds from the tour are given directly back to projects the run within the community. We met Riddhi at Churchgate Station & she travelled with us to the community where we also met Sabina. Both women live in Dharavi & shared their life experiences with us openly. The pride in the community shone through & the value of the work being carried out within Dharavi. Finding out more about the work Reality Gives does was also a highlight & you can see some of this on their website. A sensitive visit to help increase understanding & really giving something back to the community you are having the privilege to visit. Highly recommended way to see some of Mumbai which you might not otherwise experience. Leave your expectations behind & be ready to be moved by this experience. No photos as these are peoples homes & their community.

We did the street food tour then the following day a private tour of the slums and rest of the day seeing the sites we’d not already seen. The guides Raj and Chetan were fantastic. It was great to be able to try foods we would never be brave enough to order. The private tour was perfect as we could customise it. Best Masala chai we’ve ever had from the street vendor. Loved all the history and the slum tour was a humbling and insightful experience not to be missed. Excellent value too and supporting education of the local population so you can’t get much better than that.

The tour was really impressive and eye opening. It was a great experience to have this tour from a local guide, especially knowing that they company gives money back to the community. Would highly recommend.

We had a good food tour with Rishi and I had asked him about the slum tour as my impression had been a negative one imagining it would be privileged people going to look at how the poor lived. It wasn’t like this at all. It was informative and fascinating to see how so many people can live in harmony in such close proximity also interesting facts such as the water supply is only available at certain hours in the day. The children are all very happy there and there is a thriving industry and incredible recycling of plastic that the rest of the world could learn from. I would recommend this tour for educating oneself and gaining a greater understanding and appreciation of others. I also love the ethos of Reality Tours as they fund projects in the slum.

We spent two days with our guide Raj and got to see so much . Different drivers on each day but were also very good . We visited temples , historic sites , markets , streets , train station and the slums . So much information was given as Raj knowledge was incredible. This is definitely a trip not to miss when visiting . Timings and arrangements were spot on so no worries if on a cruise they will be there to meet you and get you back in plenty of time

I really enjoyed cruising the streets of Mumbai early in the morning before the traffic, the architecture and feel of the place by bike is simply amazing, so much to see and so many different experiences and interesting stops along the way.

Was in two minds as to whether I should do this tour but glad I did. It’s a bustling, booming area. Insightful to see. I’m so sorry I don’t have the name of our guide but she grew up in the settlement. Thank you!

This was without doubt the highlight of our time in Mumbai. Visiting Dharavi was one of the top things on our agenda but had reservations about how to do this in a respectful manner. Reality Tours fitted the bill and were brilliant. The tour was insightful as well as enjoyable. The guide was brilliant giving enough detail without being over the top. I would highly recommend this trip to any visitor. There is no way you could do this by yourself and Reality Tours were brilliant. A massive thank you for giving us such a great experience. We did four tours with Reality across Mumbai and Delhi and were delighted with everything.

Amazing! Unbelievable that I was able to see all Mumbai’s incredible sights in one day. The city is huge with many neighborhoods, historic and cultural sights and those beautiful temples but my great guide Sabina covered it all. Thank you!

It was a great personal experience. First - a guide is a MUST for 2 reasons: 1. You can easily get lost 2. You must hear the story Thinking of slum caused me to fill me pocket with change so I can give to beggars. But reality is so different. This is a city within a city. Fully functional, everybody works and contributes. Actually, without those working hands Mumbai and other parts of India will be affected. If you are looking for proportions, to be inspired by simplicity - you should go there. Tip- you will find few stores that sell bags, leathers and other handmade stuff. No-one will try to urge you - but it is highly recommended to take a look. Same is at the colorful market near by. I bought a hand made leader hand bag from a shop there. The quality is amazing - i shared a photo taken at the store entrance

We were recommended to Mumbai dream tours by a friend in London who had just returned. We were collected from our hotel (Taj Mahal Palace) and transported to the slum area where we met our guide Abhishek who explained all the various industries carried out in the “slum”. He changed our view of the slum from a deprived area to a hive of activity where families live for generations working hard to support each other. Abhishek himself had worked in the slum and now is the most excellent tour guide. He had us visiting many small workshops where people worked, slept and brought up their children. It was absolutely incredible. Dharavi is where the film Slumdog millionaire was filmed. Abhishek had us running (well walking carefully) through narrow alley ways, just like in the film. We met people he knew and who showed us what they do on a daily basis. FABULOUS Abhishek - we thoroughly recommend him and the company he works with. Arrangements were clear, they kept us fully informed right up to the moment they arrived to collect us. We were brought back after the tour too by our driver Manu. Many thanks: We highly recommend this tour, Mumbai dream tours And Abhishek Mumbaidreamtours.com

We went on the village tour with Javed. It was a whole day tour from 8 am till approximately 6pm. We went on a Ferry to Mandwa and then a bus to Alibag beach and market. We got to eat Vada Pav, go to the Lotus lake and see women washing their family's clothes, see brick making, go to a local school, have lunch with a village family in their home, visit the tribal village and then see the piranha lake! It was an incredible day and I'm so thankful to have had this opportunity. Our guide, Javed, was amazing, friendly and super informative. Thank you for the wonderful work you do at Reality Tours.

This tour was incredible from start to finish. Leena was out guide and is so professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Leena travelled with us by train to Dharavi and then took lots of time to show us through the commercial and residential parts of Dharavi. It was so eye opening and I learnt so much. It was great to see how much recycling happens here and see all the skilled/ hard workers in each section of the slum. People were very friendly and lots of children said hello as we walked around. I love what this NGO is doing, by putting 80 percent of the tour cost money back into the community, providing children in Dharavi with better educational options. Thank you so much for this wonderful afternoon, Leena 😊
