★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 56 reviews · from $14Best value

Spend about 3 to 4 hours exploring Dharavi and Kumbharwada with a guide from the local community. Expect a private walking tour, photography opportunities, insight into homes and small industries, and an easy end near local transport.

“Very nice Guide - but Tour is a scam. I paid for 3-4h individual Photo Tour, but the Tour was over after little more than 1h. USD 75 for a 1h walking tour is just a scam. Next time I will book a much cheaper Tour with a small group through a different platform. 5 Stars for Sahil, the Guide. 1 Star for the Operator.”
