“Extremely interesting, our guide Alkama was incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic. The outdoor laundry was mind blowing and getting to go inside was a real once in a lifetime experience. The train ride was exhilarating and great to get a sense of how commuters deal with their daily train journey. Lastly the Dharavi tour was incredible, such industry and work ethic from these people, spending every day toiling 8-12 hours a day to earn money for their families. Seeing the living quarters was also mind blowing. All in all a must see on a visit to Mumbai.”
