Insightful and eye opening tour

Anastassia_K, Mar 2025

Amazing tour with tour guide Aarti. She was knowledgeable and very insightful as she herself lived in a slum earlier in her life. Aarti took me to her home and showed me how an Indian family lives nowadays, which was eye opening. She explained about the arranged marriage traditions, about the culture and the religion. On our way to the 2 locations, she showed me and explained the highlights of the city. The tour in Dharavi was very interesting and Aarti took me not only to see the industrial area, but also the 'residencial' part of the Dharavi. The Bolliwood was also a good experience, first time of that kind for me. You get to see the film making technologies, voice overs and have an overview of the history of the bolliwood cinema over the last 100 years. All in all a very good tour and Aarti has made it special.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your tour with Aarti was both insightful and memorable. She will be delighted to know that her personal experiences and knowledge helped you gain a deeper understanding of life in Mumbai, the culture, and traditions. It’s great that you enjoyed exploring both the industrial and residential areas of Dharavi, as well as experiencing the fascinating world of Bollywood. We’re so glad that Aarti could make your tour truly special. Your kind words mean a lot, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in the future!

the tour was great and...

Michael_T, Dec 2022

the tour was great and all as expected. Hotel pick up at 10am worked well. Anthony was a great guide through the Dharavi Slum. The slum itself is a quite industrious and organized area, still working and living conditions remain poor and in obvious contrast to other parts of Mumbai. In the afternoon we have visited a Bollywood studio close to the airport with a nice tour through different sets and including a Bollywood dance performance. Mukesh was a great driver through the traffic jams, that are typical in Mumbai. We were back at the hotel in Colaba around 6pm.
