Dharavi slum tour in Mumbai by Female tour guides of the slum

1.Dharavi slum tour in Mumbai by Female tour guides of the slum

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,976 reviews · from $9Our pick

Walk through Dharavi with a female guide who lives in the community, such as Pooja, Sneha, Varsha, or Anushka. Expect about two hours of clear local context, working areas, narrow lanes, and practical insight into daily life. Add hotel transport or lunch with a local family if available.

“Tour guide was a no-show despite having a "confirmation" and bar code ticket issued by Viator. While Viator readily issued refund for tour, I spent almost as much money as well as 1.5 hours taking Uber transport to a tour that did not exist on that day. Viator points to their terms of use saying that they are not responsible as all they do is supply a platform - however they were the ones who collected money from me and fraudulently sold me a service that did not exist. Hiding behind their terms.”
