It was a wonderful experience seeing the Dharavi Slum with Sneha . She lives here and knows all about what happens. Firstly we visited where they recycle the plastics and then we walked around the residential area. If you come to Mumbai it is a must to see!

Sneha was an incredible guide and this tour was absolutely wonderful. She was so knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about Dharavi and the people who live and work there. I’ve visited other countries and done various tours, and this is the best tour I’ve ever had. Sneha’s patient and friendly attitude made this an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it!

Sneha was a very knowledgeable guide, who presented the place through the experience of a local. A very good tour and a thought-provoking experience.

An Unforgettable and Eye-Opening Tour with the Amazing Pooja! Our tour of Dharavi with Magical Mumbai Tour was one of the absolute highlights of our time in the city, and it was made truly special by our fantastic guide, Pooja. From the very beginning, Pooja was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate. She didn't just show us the sights; she shared stories and introduced us to the vibrant community spirit that makes Dharavi so unique. Her personal connection to the area allowed for an authentic and respectful experience that completely shattered our preconceptions. We learned so much about the recycling businesses, the local industries, and the daily lives of the resilient and hardworking people who live there. If you are thinking about taking this tour, we cannot recommend it enough. For the best possible experience, you MUST ask for Pooja. Her insight, professionalism, and wonderful personality are what made this a five-star, truly unforgettable tour!

Wow what an insightful trip! Eye opening and fascinating and the guide was great. I was a solo female traveller and the only person on the tour so got a real 1:1 visit and felt to totally safe. Locals in the Slums are seemingly unbothered by tourist visits and working hard in the appalling conditions but it seemed a contented place. The smells, sanitation, rats and garbage was awful but the mass business of recycling and manufacturing processes were awe inspiring to see. A not to be missed experience

This walking tour with Sneha was unforgettable. We truly appreciated the inside look at every day life in Dharavi and gained more of an understanding of how hard people there work to get by.
