I spent the morning with Shivam as my tour-guide, seeing the sights around Colaba. My pickup was right on time (10mins early) from my hostel and the private car was nicely air conditioned and comfortable. Shivam was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had. He was always pointing out even the smallest details and provided interesting insight. I particularly enjoyed the Dhobi Ghat laundry facility, hanging gardens with Tower of silence, and cricket grounds. It was a shame that the Ghandi museum was closed however, unsure for what reason.
Next I had the wonderful tour guide Varsha for the Dharavi slums. What a humbling and eye-opening experience. Varsha was amazing and provided so much detail about all the industries, and the history of the slum. I didn't know what I was in for, but I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you both so much
