Very impressive trip. Shena showed us a lot and explained the living of the people here. I can surely recommend. I could make a lot of pictures in the commercial area.

Anu was a superb guide who really showed us how people love hard working, decent and loving lives in Dharavi. She was intelligent, well informed and thought provoking at all times and we felt very privileged to see this area in her hands.

Our guide Anushka was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour. She showed us all the highlights. She was very conscientious in keeping track of all of us. Super nice! The tour itself is very interesting. I would recommend close toed shoes as there is a lot if garbage. I noticed our guys had on crocs, which is a great idea bc they are very washable. Fascinating ecosystem.

We had a marvellous tour of the Dhavi Slum. Anu was a very attentive and informative guide who truly knows the area, as she is a resident. I learned a great deal and am so impressed with the industrious residents of this area. I highly recommend this tour, and a big thank you to Anu for her kindness and informative presentation of this fascinating area.

We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and appropriate clothing for women, such as fully covered clothes and no shorts, as we will be walking inside the slum.
