Incredible Dharavi Slum tour. - Ali took us on an incredible tour of the Dharavi Slums and Dhobi Ghat. It was so inspiring to see the industries at work and the sheer fortitude of the people who were so friendly and welcoming. Ali provided an excellent history of this area and other Mumbai landmarks and with humour, compassion and intelligence. Highly recommend Ali as your tour guide.

Amazing experience. Ali is a very passionate and knowledgeable guide. - I did a private tour of Dharavi slum with Ali. It was an eye opening experience. Ali has got first hand knowledge of the slums, as he lives there. At all times I felt safe. He answered all my questions. He is very passionate about that place and its people. Percentage of all money received from tourists goes to support local school. Highly recommend.
