About
Mumbai or ‘The City of dreams’, is one of the marvelous cities to visit India. The heavily urbanized city of Maharashtra has something in store for everyone- from backpackers and devotees to tourists who love to spend on expensive hotels and restaurants. The best way to explore the city is with our One day Mumbai local sightseeing tour by car. The thing about Mumbai that attracts people from all walks of life is its rich cultural, social and economic diversity. The rich and the poor, tall skyscrapers and even the world’s biggest slum, malls, and street bazaars, all amicably exist together in perfect harmony. Apart from urban marvels, the City of Dreams is also blessed with lakes, beaches, parks and historically significant buildings. Heritage walks are organized in the old city, that is South Mumbai. Marine Drive, also known as the “Queen’s Necklace” looks like a necklace when it is lit up at night.

Our visit to Dharavi with Rajesh was truly amazing. I wasn’t sure I wanted to do the trip because I thought it might be disrespectful to “view “ people and their homes. Instead we saw a huge community of different faiths from different parts of the country going about their daily lives- children heading to school; home bakeries producing goods for markets and hotels; large scale recycling of plastics, from old broken goods to a finished product ready to sell back to the companies for toy and computer manufacture; potters and leather workers and much more. Walking the narrow alleys with their sounds and scents allowed us to see a completely different world. Rajesh took time to explain everything we saw. A must-do.

Rakesh did a great job with our Dharavi tour combined with a city tour. He was on time (in fact early) for everything, knowledgeable, easy going, and flexible. We went with our kids ages 12 and 15 and he was a great family guide as well. Very good worthwhile tour.

Yes, Mumbai has fantastic colonial and art deco buildings, a UNESCO railway station, 5* hotels, Michelin starred chefs, bollywood glamour and more. However, no trip to Mumbai or indeed India is complete without seeing/understanding more about life in the slums. We did the shorter Brisk Beat tour, which at 2.5-3 hours long (including travel time) was long enough to see, hear and ask what we needed. Our guide met us (ahead of due time) at Churchgate station in the morning, and was very friendly, reassuring, and informative throughout. We were walked through manufacturing and residential areas. Even as a well travelled couple we found it eye-opening at every step. It's worth noting that photos are not allowed, quite right in our opinion as not everything needs to be captured through a lens. We'd also recommend taking bottles of water with you, dressing conservatively, and wearing 'proper/sensible' footwear, i.e. not open-toed/flip flops. The tour notes were not explicit about how to get home, as it doesn't finish near a train station/bus stop. However, our guide made sure we got into an official taxi for the 15 minute drive back into Colaba (taxi cost us <100 Rp). Highly recommended.

Incredible, upbeat tour that covered many areas of the slum, including schools, manufacturing, and Hindu / Muslim living quarters. Most tour guides are from Dharavi itself and can answer all questions. This is a must-do in mumbai.
Dress conservatively and wear closed-toe shoes that are good on uneven ground.

Just returned from a holiday in Goa ended with a stay in mumbai and the experience of a lifetime with slim dogs. We went on two trips. the first in the morning was a visit to a slum. This was incredible. The noise, the smell, the people loads of people. The slums really impacted me. Whilst in one sense they a slice of hell on earth the people are incredible. They are hard working, very friendly and despite the hard way they live look happy, content and well fed. The smells of cooking were incredible and the food they were cooking looked great. The children in particular looked like they were having great fun chasing around , playing cricket and just being kids!
The second part was in the evening when we went to the beach in mumbai and ate street food. This food was incredible very tasty and again the people are amazing. very friendly and happy to share their wonderful food with strangers.
the guys who organise this tour are brilliant - -very knowledgeable of course but just good fun to be with. My two sons had a fantastic time and loved rapping with the guys as we travelled a across mumbai. This tour is a must it will change your life!

We did the longer yard tour with Akash and another lad who was training. Both these lads are local to Dharavi and knew the place like the back of their hands.
There were 4 of us on the tour and we had wrestled with the idea of taking the tour as we were concerned over the morality of it, but it wasn't like that at all.
The tour was informative and we learned so much about the areas we passed through, Dharavi and Mumbai in general.
The kids in Dharavi were a delight, asking where we were from and wanting to show us their cricket gear.
I would recommend this tour to friends and family and would probably even do the tour again if I was in Mumbai or chose one of the other ones. Maybe even a private tour as the Slumgods lads were good to spend some time with and see the real Mumbai.

For a tour of the slums of Mumbai I would thoroughly recommend Slumgods. Our tour guide Akash was so informative and interesting to talk to. We chose the private tour which was excellent as we were picked up and dropped off to our Hotel. By travelling from your hotel you have the opportunity of seeing and hearing more of Mumbai on the way. The most interesting for me was the recycling area and also the Dhobi Ghat outdoor laundry. We came away with some amazing photos and great memories.

Usually I do not like tours but this one I actually enjoyed! The tour guide made a difference. We had a great tour! He was very good with English. He was patient with us and gave us time to explore more what we wanted to see. He was flexible and not pushy but VeRY knowledgeable. Everybody loved him!
