Not to miss
This tour shows a side of Mumbai you don't often get to see on tourist itineraries. And it's a shame, because Dharavi is by far one of the most unique and fascinating places I've ever seen. The sense of community, of people working together with one another and with the city itself. Many misconceptions exist about this peculiar place, but the reality I've seen is one of pride, of work, and of celebration. Chandramohan has been an incredible guide: very knowledgeable, sensitive and full of little facts that make the experience all the more enthralling and precious. And, most importantly, I coukd sense that Chandramohan a has great respect, connection and affection towards the place and the people as he explains the ins and outs of their lives to you. Thank you for this incredible afternoon, BomBayWala.

Dharavi and Dhobi Ghat Tour
Gautam was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, great English, very accommodating and helpful throughout.
He actually met us at the hotel and took us to the Dhobi Ghat laundry by local bus and then train we probably wouldn’t have otherwise experienced.
The tour of Dharavi was really good and definitely took us to places we wouldn’t have found or been comfortable visiting on our own. Highlight was the Dharavi leather shop which was featured on James May’s tour of India on Amazon Prime and meeting the owner. My kids especially liked that they had AC in the shop which was a lovely respite from the hot weather that day!
Too many other interesting things to mention, but Gautam was an amazing tour guide throughout!

An Insightful Journey Through Dharavi
I had a truly eye-opening and memorable experience visiting the Dharavi Slum in Mumbai, thanks to Gautam, my incredible guide. From the start, it was clear he was deeply familiar with the area—not just the layout, but the history, the industries, and the rich cultural backgrounds of the people who live and work there. His knowledge added so much depth and context to what we were seeing, and I learned a great deal throughout the tour.
What really stood out was how respectful he was to the residents and the businesses we encountered. He moved through the community with care and thoughtfulness, always prioritizing the dignity and privacy of the people who call Dharavi home. It was a powerful experience, handled with sensitivity and insight. I had a great time and would highly recommend doing this tour with Gautam to anyone looking to understand more about this vibrant and resilient community.
