Dharavi tour with chatterbox Nil! - This tour gave a fascinating and humbling insight into the Dharavi district but what made it so special was Nilesh’s (or Nil) passion for sharing many different details with us. From observing the leather and pottery production to the simple yet very effective plastic recycling network, Reality Tours business of giving back to the community is truly awesome and with guides like Nil our hearts are filled with admiration and gratitude ❤️ Love your passion Chris and Krishna xx

Such a surprise, more going on than I ever imagined! - The group that they subbed this tour out to ( like all tours are) was Reality Tours. They have an educational program for the young people inside the slums. Their office is inside the slums. My guide was fantastic, Javed, he could not have been better. He was so knowledgeable and happy to answer all my questions. The Dharavi slums are a well organized machine, a city with all the parts, it reminded me of an ant farm, a million people crammed together all doing their job to make a living and get things accomplished. Fascinating!
