We had a really enjoyable and informative time on our tour with Srikanth. Beforehand we were somewhat apprehensive about taking a slum tour, but Srikanth soon put us at ease and we never felt uncomfortable, imposing or unsafe at any time, maintaining a tone of respect and dignity for the residents at all times. He took great time to explain the many fascinating aspects of daily life in the slums, all the amazing commercial activities in a never to be forgotten experience. We also loved gifting the pens and pencils (that we brought with us) at the school to the young children. As an added bonus, Srikanth is a professional photographer and he took so many great photos that he shared with us. In summary, do not hesitate to book this trip with Srikanth, you will not regret it !! Amazing tour with Srikanth

We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for Chandramohan's fantastic tour of the Dharavi slums. We truly enjoyed every moment! His deep knowledge of the slums and its history was very impressive, and he shared it with such enthusiasm.  Thanks to Chandramohan, we have a much deeper understanding and appreciation for the vibrant city of Mumbai and the Dharavi slums. He made our visit very memorable, and we can highly recommend this tour!What a great experience!

Do not hesitate to book a tour with Mohan who made contact as soon as we booked the tour of Dharavi and kept in touch until we met up. Mohan’s knowledge is vast and he went above and beyond to ensure we had maximum enjoyment from our tour. He is friendly and extremely kind ensuring we got back to our hotel safely and we had a blast. We have travelled a lot and Mohan rates right up top on our guide list. Thank you Mohan for an amazing time. Excellent tour

Shrikanth was easy to communicate with and quickly responded to my texts. He was at the meeting place early. Shrikanth is knowledgeable about the businesses and people in the Dharavi and helps an outsider understand the nature of the area. I was concerned that it would be a negative but the opposite was true thanks to Shrikanth. If I had more time in Bombay I would definitely book another tour with him. A very pisitive and upbeat slum tour

What a great tour! I did the slums tour. I really appreciated Shrikanth's style, we saw some very unique parts of Mumbai that won't be here much longer. He answered all my many questions easily and informatively. The other reviews are on point, choose this guide and this tour whilst the slums still exist (there is a redevelopment project to relocate the community by Mumbai municipal council) Thankyou again Shrikanth!Very satisfied

Srikanth was an excellent guide! He was early to our meeting point, was knowledgeable about the things we were interested in (NGOs, political party stances on the best supports for the people), and respectful of both the residents and our family. Our 12 and 16 yo children had strong emotional responses to the experience and Srikanth was great with honoring that. He even waited with us afterwards to make sure our Uber found us! Overall, highly recommend this tour and tour guide!Respectful, tailored tour

We had been unsure about going on a slum tour but Shrikanth was a fabulous guide and quickly put us at our ease. He was very knowledgeable and spent time telling us about the industries within Dharavi and local opposition to plans to demolish the area. The respectful, positive relationships he has with local residents were obvious throughout the tour. We visited a range of local businesses where we were welcomed in to look round, Shrikanth even took photos of us - much better than we could have taken ourselves- which he later emailed (for no extra charge). We would highly recommend this tour if you want a better understanding of life in the slum.Excellent tour

Visiting the Dharavi area was not easy for my son and I to see. It was an experience I am glad I took, and my perspective has forever been changed. Shrikanth was sensitive to my and my son’s struggle and I appreciated that. The last thing I would want to do is devalue any life and our guide was able to help us with that.

Shrikanth did a wonderful job sharing his knowledge and showing us around the dharavi neighborhood. He was soft spoken gentle and respectful with us as well as with individuals we encountered in the neighborhood., He shared stories about the livelihoods and businesses that are run within and support the local dharavi economy as well as the controversy among residents regarding the dharavi restoration project. We walked thru alleys and byways I would never go through on my own. He gave us an appreciation of the challenges of this neighborhood and the resourcefulness of its residents. I traveled with my family including my three children ages 16,19,&21. We generally felt safe. As a woman I would recommend wearing long pants and scarf or dhuppata for discretion as well as to cover mouth and nose when going thru some smokey areas. Alternatively one could bring a mask if you have asthma. Also recommend wearing closed toe shoes and bringing a bottle of water. Overall we are very glad we did it and highly recommend this dharavi tour with Shrikanth. Eye opening and educational

We had such a great day exploring everything Mumbai had to offer with Shrikanth. We did both the off the beaten path tour & then the food tour. It was a wonderful experience to visit the communities in Dharavi and each place we stopped at for food, we felt like locals. Couldn’t recommend enough! Amazing day!!

We did the "Off the Beaten Track in Mumbai - Dharavi Tour" with Chandramohan. It was a very interesting, intense and unforgettable tour. You might wonder if it is ethically correct to visit a place where rather poor people live in challenging circumstances and if you are save there. The clear answer is YES - if you choose this tour and this guide. Chandramohan introduced us to many different aspects of the Dharavi slum and showed us how lively as well as busy this area is. We were impressed by what we saw and gratefull to him for directing our eyes to the details and the stories behind. With him we didn't feel as spectators to see "how poor people live", but got insight into how clever as well as pragmatic they manage their lifes and business. We didn't feel unsecure or unsafe for a moment , he is a very experienced guide and took good care of us. So don't worry at all. Chandramohan has a good sense of humour so we had quite some fun together. Communication with Chandramohan was pleasant, he is absolutely reliable. Excellent experience, we highly recommend him as a guide!Very interesting tour, great guide!

Wow—this tour was absolutely incredible! Shrikanth’s deep knowledge of the slums and their community, combined with his ability to navigate the area like it’s his own neighborhood, made this an unforgettable experience. The tour is packed with insights, and every minute Shrikanth introduces you to new aspects of life in the slum that truly open your eyes. A highlight was visiting a local home—a rare and invaluable experience that wouldn’t have been possible without Shrikanth. As an added bonus, Shrikanth is a professional photographer! Along with the wealth of emotions and memories, you’ll leave with stunning photos perfect for sharing with friends or making an Instagram-worthy post (as we did). Highly recommended!Slums uncovered

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a guided slum tour in Mumbai, led by a local, Shrikanth R. Poojari, committed to responsible tourism. This was a profoundly eye-opening experience that offered a unique perspective on life in one of Mumbai’s most densely populated areas, while maintaining a tone of respect and dignity for the residents. The tour was thoughtfully organized and carefully designed to avoid exploitation. Our guide, a resident of Mumbai provided an authentic and insightful narrative about life in the slum. He shared stories of resilience, community spirit, and innovation that painted a far more nuanced picture than the stereotypes often associated with these neighborhoods. One of the most impressive aspects of the tour was how it highlighted the entrepreneurial spirit and resourcefulness of the residents. We visited small-scale industries such as recycling units, pottery workshops, and food stalls, which contribute significantly to the local economy and even to the broader city. The guide ensured we understood the importance of these industries and their role in empowering the community. The experience was interactive, allowing us to ask questions take pictures/video and even engage with some of the residents. The people we met were warm and welcoming, and their stories were both inspiring and humbling. However, the tour also did not shy away from discussing the challenges faced by the community, such as limited access to basic services and infrastructure. One aspect I particularly appreciated was Shrikanth R. Poojari commitment to ethical tourism. If you’re considering a slum tour in Mumbai, I highly recommend choosing a reputable and community-focused operator. This is not a tour for entertainment—it’s an educational and transformative experience that challenges preconceptions and fosters a deeper understanding of the complexities of urban life. It left me with a profound sense of admiration for the resilience and resourcefulness of the people living there. Thank you 🙏 Paul Tour of Mumbai with a difference !

I have experienced a wonderful tour with Shrikanth in Mumbai slums. It is truly out of the beaten track and a complete must in Mumbai which will leave a lot of impressions. Shrikanth is very experienced and knows all the shortcuts and right ways, it is easy to get lost there. As well he took wonderful pictures as he has « an eye » for the memories. He is friendly, polite and well-behaved man. I was very comfortable as a single female. Our trip was unique as we got caught by heavy rain right when we were ok the middle of the tour which allowed us to be invited by some families where we were nicely treated. Strongly recommend Simply wonderful

Forget what you know about Mumbai; there's more than meets the eye when you follow the less touristy path. Welcome to the incredible Dharavi! During this private city tour, Shrikanth led us to the trendiest streets and alternative spots known only to locals. Immersing ourselves in the local lifestyle, we discovered numerous treasures along the way, from street art to architectural gems and historical sites representing the region. Following Shrikanth through Dharavi felt like exploring his playground; he knew it like the back of his hand! From Recycling Street to the After School of Hip Hop, we experienced the authentic side of Mumbai. Shrikant's passion and consideration for our needs made the tour truly memorable. Shrikanth isn't just a tour guide; he's a natural storyteller with a wealth of knowledge and diverse interests. His unique perspective and personal anecdotes added depth to our experience. Even with our young daughter, Shrikant ensured the tour was enjoyable and educational for all of us. The lunch recommendations were superb, introducing us to hidden culinary gems we wouldn't have discovered on our own. Thank you, Shrikanth, for providing us with such valuable insights into Mumbai's ecosystem and for making our visit truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Shrikanth to anyone seeking a bespoke tour experience in Mumbai!Unforgetable Trip with Shrikanth

Shrikanth took me on a great tour of Dharavi. He was really knowledgeable and thoughtful and explained the different communities of people living and working in this area. We saw all sorts of manufacturing in progress - pottery, glass cutting, textiles, leatherwork, baking. He was very kind, considerate and courteous, and even took me for some food at the end of our tour as he knew I was hungry. Then he helped me to get a train back to the place I’m staying, which was an experience in itself. Definitely recommend.Wonderful exploration with Shrikanth

Shrikant took us on a very interesting and challenging tour of the Dharavi Slum. The way people live here made a huge impression. At first sight everything looks very depressing in the eyes of a privileged westerner - but Shrikant also told us the stories about the thriving businesses and strong willed survivors of the area. It all gave us a better understanding of why many people choose to stay here and will fight the governments attempts to clear the slums. It was an eye opener - so was the tour around the different areas of Dharavi. From the neat and narrow streets of the Tamil Society, to the school of Hip Hop, the black walled pottery area, and the super expensive goat and busy bakery we came across in the Muslim area. We will never forget this tour and our meeting with a knowledgeable photographer who has spent many hours exploring and intervening with these unique societies of Mumbai. Insightful and interesting eye opener

I visited Dharavi Slums with Shrikanth for a private tour and it was a very special experience. I had heard a lot about the slums, and wanted to experience them as much as I could as an outsider, and get a better insight into what the lives of this community are like. Shrikanth was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide and gave me some great tips for places to eat after the tour was over. The only fault I could find with the tour was that it was advertised as 2.5 hours but only went for 1.5 hours. Otherwise, it was fantastic. Thank you Shrikanth!A special insight into Dharavi Slum

Wow, the Dharavi tour with Shrikanth was incredible, insightful and so much fun! His calm, confident and caring presence made me feel very safe in the hectic and congested lanes there. Shrikanth showed me so much during the non-stop 2 and a half hour tour. We stopped and visited people working at bakeries, recycling, garment, leather and pottery making work places, schools and homes. He was informative about the people and their work and lives, and answered all my questions. The people were really welcoming and friendly, especially the children who were playing outside their homes or schools. They wanted to speak English with me, allowed me to photograph them, and one girl even gave me candy! Shrikanth's sharp ears detected the music of an ongoing wedding. The people at the Gujarati wedding were wearing amazing clothes, and invited me to dance with them. It was such a thrill to dance at my first Indian wedding! Shrikanth is an excellent photographer and took many photos and videos of me throughout the tour which he sent me the very same day! I will always cherish these heart-warming memories of the inspiring and vibrant people and children of Dharavi! Thanks so much Shrikanth for your wonderful kindness and warmth, and for making this tour the highlight of my travels in India! Incredible Dharavi tour with Shrikanth

One thing which was positive was when he noticed the kids had lost their attention after a while, he gave alternate suggestions to the tour. He also brought us shopping and brought us to all the relevant shops. Highly recommend Chandra. Good knowledge and flexible

He was very accommodative and we were very happy to have done the short tour with him and took many nice pictures. He takes very nice pictures of us during the tour and sent them to us immediately after the tour and we are very happy with them for our memory. We highly recommend him.

Shrikanth took us to Dharavi, the biggest slum in Mumbai. What a life-changing experience ! First Shrikanth is extremely knowledgeable. He knows all the communities living in Dharavi and explained their different cultures, religions and activities. He explained all the issues of the people living there, the sanitation , water and plastic problems but also their intense economic activities. He showed us the schools and daily lives of people. We were impressed by the respect and dignity in Dharavi, how open minded the adults and children are, openly greeting us and talking to us in very good English. The people there really touched our hearts and we are so thankful to Shrikanth for providing what is not a tour but an human experience.Life-changing Experience

It was a wonderful opportunity to simply explore, stroll thru the area and see a very different part of Mumbai that we would never have seen otherwise. It was not an overly 'touristy' experience, but instead an entertaining walk thru neighbourhoods while having an extended discussion with Shrikanth about his life and ours.Exploring the streets of Dharavi
