Very good tour
We had a wonderful experience on our slum tour in Mumbai! Our guide Dhiraj was amazing — very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He made the tour interesting and gave us a better understanding of local life and the community. Our driver JQ was also excellent, very kind and helpful. We felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire experience. Thank you both for such a memorable day! Highly recommend!

An eye-opening morning in Dharavi – thanks to Ritika!
★★★★★

The Dharavi tour with Reality Tours & Travel was the highlight of our days in Mumbai, and that is entirely thanks to our guide, Ritika.

Ritika was outstanding: knowledgeable, warm, funny and completely honest. She guided us through the narrow lanes with confidence and showed us a side of Mumbai we would never have understood on our own: the recycling workshops, the potters, the leather workers and the everyday life of the families who live there. She answered all our questions openly and made sure we met the community with respect, not as spectators.

We left with a completely different picture of Dharavi than the one we arrived with. It is a place of hard work, entrepreneurship and strong community, not just poverty. And it feels good to know that the profits go back into social projects in the area.

Thank you, Ritika! If you only do one tour in Mumbai, make it this one, and ask for Ritika.
