Me and my girlfriend were staying for a week in Mumbai which is huge and 7 days is hardly enough…
But fortunately we were lucky to find this tour. Guys, believe me, it is amazing!
You need to see those two sides of Mumbai life. A private slum to see one end and a Bollywood for the other one. In combination they work perfect, giving you an almost complete (for luxury one - you can go for high-end luxury restaurant in some of the 5* hotels, like The St. Regis and it’s top-floor restaurant By the Maekong) and rich experience beautifully aligned in 1 day.
The private slum is very informative and Bollywood activities are so much fun - do not by shy and try dancing with the actors as well as try signing the song of your choice! And keep asking all the questions about Bollywood movies - what is counted as a secret in Hollywood - your guides will amazingly explain everything in detail if you wish!
You guides - Rahul and Kamlesh - fantastic guys. They have a very good English, they are cheerful and super supporting. You feel safe and organized with them. Don’t hesitate to reach with all possible questions about Indians and Mumbaikars - they know a lot and are always with you to share.
They will never hurry you as well. In addition, I will mention that, they will never stress or hint on tips or whatever, but one super detail I liked about them (during our conversation) is that they consist in a supporting organization inside the Dharavi Slums where they try to gather funds to keep teaching children and organize courses for frowns ups. The one who reads, you are not forced to , but if you will leave a tip - you can be sure it goes for the better as well.
Why I mentioned this - is because the biggest part of the tickets price goes for the Bollywood tour (not slums) as of brand and extra tickets- but this tour is incomplete without Dharavi slums and guys do very great job in addition to volunteering!
Rahul and Kamlesh - thank you guys and best of luck!
