Perfect - I had an incredible experience on the slum tour organized by Ali. Shaikh Ashab. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and respectfully. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and gave us deep insight into the community’s daily life, challenges, and incredible resilience. What stood out the most was how thoughtfully the tour was designed—highlighting local initiatives, businesses, and the vibrant spirit of the people without being intrusive. It was not just informative but also deeply moving and inspiring. This tour completely changed my perspective and left a lasting impact. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a meaningful, respectful, and eye-opening experience.

This tour will upend your world - It was a really interesting tour! Gathering place for all tourists in a European coffee shop. No offense to the other guides, but our guide Ali was the most interesting! Very polite, funny, told all the interesting things. The guide was a slum resident himself and learned the best firsthand. Walked for two hours in all the streets and saw where the industries were and how people lived. It's a totally different world and not at all in line with what's shown in movies. Definitely need to come and see this!

Unique tour - The tour was really interesting, the tour guide Ali is a very friendly local guy, so he showed many interesting places in the slums (residential area, hospitals, schools, temples, market, industrial area etc), gave a lot of information about the slums, the conditions, the style of life of the locals. He answered all of my questions (and I had a lot hahaha) not only about the slums, but about the industrial process there, about India and more. The tour was completely safe, everyone around is friendly, every kid says you “hi”, it was so sweet. Highly recommend this experience
