We are a unique tour
and travel agency, based in Mumbai, India, that specializes
in guided tours of Dharavi- Asia′s biggest “slum”- a place of poverty
and hardship but also a place of
enterprise, humour and non-stop activity. By showing this enterprise and community spirit, we
hope to try and help dispel the negative image that many people have
about Dharavi and slums in Mumbai.
This part of the company is not run for profitable purposes- 80% of the profits after tax from these slum tours go to local NGOs who work for the less privileged members of society.
The company is owned and run jointly by two young guys from India and England, and we understand that the role of the tour guide is vitally important for your enjoyment of the various tours that we run. All the guides speak very good English and have had extensive training so are able to explain in detail the places that we visit. They are also all young, come from modest backgrounds, and are genuinely interested in our customers- this and the fact that we only have group sizes of 5 maximum makes the exchange so much more than just what you visit. We have a NO TIPS POLICY to make the tour as comfortable for you as possible, and we ask you to fill out questionnaires to maintain standards- we take pride in the positive feedback both from these and from comments made on our discussion forum and in the press.

Mumbai has a lot of things to see besides Dharavi.
We do more traditional sightseeing tours, which can be combined with the slum tour in one action packed day!
Do you want us to book a room for you in Mumbai, or in India?
We will make reservations for hotels of ANY budget, and in most cases we
ensure that what you pay will not be more than the listed price.
Do you want to travel independently around India on your own itinerary but without
the hassle of booking trains, coaches, domestic flights and hotels? We can do as many or as few of
these tasks as you wish, at very reasonable, transparent rates.
Want to do some voluntary work while in India? Please click on the icon for details of organisations
offering such opportunities.
Do you need help for any purpose in Mumbai? Filming? Research? Shopping?
Sourcing a manufacturer? We are not experts in all these fields but with the assistance of our Hindi speaking
staff, we will help find what you want.
Please contact us with your requirements, no matter how bizarre they may be!!
