About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- dominice6420 contributionsGreat short excursion from the cityI had a great time on the trip to the Caves - everything was smooth from pick up to drop off. Ravi, my guide, was a fountain of knowledge when it come to explain this history and cultural significance of the caves and the carvings (as well as the games that the monkeys like to play) and was a much better photographer than me trying to take selfies. Deepak, our driver, got use there and back safely and quickly - no small feat in Mumbai traffic. Whole trip was about 4h30m.Written September 13, 2024

The tour of the Dharavi chawl was fantastic. Divya was a terrific and charismatic local guide who really understood the neighbourhood and its intricacies. Arun was an excellent and very accommodating driver, full of insights and able to answer every question we had about the city. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Mumbai.

Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mumbai. Hari helped us book the tour and was incredibly patient with us as we waited out the rain. Yash was our guide for Dharavi and was incredible throughout the tour, showing us the different commercial industries in Dharavi and the residential areas. He layered in his personal experiences with an extensive amount of information about the area, which made this experience so memorable. thank you Yash and Hari!!

Our tour guide was ‘Diva’, she was amazing, very knowledgeable. Diva is a local to Dharavi, born and raised which was great as she gave us a real insight. It was an eye opener for sure, not what we expected, no spoilers here but it is a must do tour.

We were met at the cruise terminal gate by our driver who then drove us to Dharavi Slum. Upon arriving, we met our tour guide. He was a resident of the slum so knew first hand everything there was to know about it. We enjoyed the tour very much and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

What a unique place! Thanks to my guide Rohit I have a new understanding of India and the slums. It changed my perception so much. Rohit was amazing and let me ask so many questions. I wouldn't be anywhere though with out my trusty driver Dinesh. He was so kind and helpful and made some very important extra stops for me. He even took me to a pharmacy and helped explain my problem. Please ask for Dinesh and Rohit!

Dear Molly,
Your experience sounds truly transformative! It's wonderful that Rohit provided valuable insights, altering your perception of the slums. Dinesh's kindness and assistance, going the extra mile, made a significant impact. Your recommendation for both Rohit and Dinesh is noted – they seem like an excellent team!
