Superb life experience - Kavitha was our tour guide on a recent visit and she was truly excellent - our tour was organised by the Oberoi but I would recommend going direct… it is much better for her

Best tour guide! - We went to Dharavi Slum tour. I found Ravi from a vlog from Youtube and since he seemed very knowledgeable, I took a chance and booked a tour with Ravi through whatsapp. He answered immediately! We met at a small coffee shop near the slum and went on a walking tour with him. Oh boy, what a tour it was! You will not be dissappointed! He is very knowledagble, since he lives also in Dharavi. He told a little bit general about Dharavi and slums of the world. The tour was structured and he did not just walk us through, but he also talks about the industries and shops and how are the living conditions there and so on. He really put his heart and soul into the tour and answered all our stupid questions! Above all, he took us for a train and bus ride, which can also be a hassle for a normal tourist. I really recommend booking a tour with Ravi, you will be very satisfied!
