Private Tour at Dharavi Slum
It was our second tour from this company, the first one was - Bollywood Private tour. It was informative excursion for us, because we represented slums otherwise. I wouldn’t explain all that we saw inside, I think, it’ll be better to see and to feel by yourself. I just want to mention professionalism of the company and our guide, who’s name was Farzan. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

An invaluable glimpse into a sophisticated society
This was my second trip with World of Bollywood Tours, because the first one (Best of Mumbai Private City Tour with Lunch and Transport) was so good. I figured I couldn't see Dharavi without a guide and this proved to be the case. You would never be able to navigate without a guide and you wouldn't really have any context for what you would see. Yahya, my guide, was born there and lives there still. He took me on a 90+ minute route through a maze of passageways, roads and alleys. Dharavi is a hive of activity, every few steps you'll see something new. Yahya explained how the industrial and residential parts of the community work. For example, he showed me how plastics are gathered, broken down and sorted, cleaned, dried, turned into pellets, etc. For example, he showed how cardboard gets cleaned up and repurposed. He showed where people live, go to school, the doctors, etc. He answered about a million of my questions with great graciousness and a pride of his community. I didn't take many photos. It seemed disrespectful and I heard that it might be considered rude. I don't think photos or videos could really do justice to the experience anyway. I found it very inspiring. Dharavi seems to do a fantastic job of recycling, reusing and repurposing. Don't we all need to do this? The amount of human endeavour and enterprise truly impressed me. Slum seems a pejorative term for Dharavi. I won't be using it. Tiger, who took me round the city on my previous tour, picked me up again from my hotel. It was good to see him. He took me by cab to Dharavi and brought me back by train. I don't know if this was standard, but he knew I hadn't ridden the train and wanted to. I got to lean out of the carriage door like a local and see how the system works. Thank you Yahya. Thank you Tiger. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Hello Mr. Richard, Thank you so much for writing such an amazing review for us. Yahya and Tiger are so happy and grateful for the lovely words that you have written for them. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the Dharavi Tour and that you learnt so much with Yahya. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the train ride too with Tiger. We look forward to meeting you again in India. Thank you so much Much Love and Happiness From India. WOB India Team 😃🙏 We have a dream....Happy Tourists in India 🇮🇳

Mumbai slums

Excellent day out to an Indian slum
Had a perfect half day tour with my local guide Farzan who was very knowledgeable and happy to share his real life experiences where a local resident with first hand experience. This was my third tour with Bollywood tours and highly recommend them as you will feel safe and secure at all times and they are very punctual as well. Farzan is a true asset to the team and if you have the pleasure of Farzan being your guide you won’t be disappointed ☹️. Thanks for a great day out and eye opening experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Mark, Thanks so much for writing such a wonderful review for us. All of us at WOB are delighted to read your lovely review.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Dharavi Slum Tour with Transport and Refreshments: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mumbai.
How much does Private Dharavi Slum Tour with Transport and Refreshments cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mumbai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Dharavi Slum Tour with Transport and Refreshments take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mumbai is not rushed.
Is Private Dharavi Slum Tour with Transport and Refreshments worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mumbai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Dharavi Slum Tour with Transport and Refreshments?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Dharavi Slum Tour with Transport and Refreshments suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Dharavi Slum Tour with Transport and Refreshments?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mumbai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mumbai and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Dharavi Slum Tour with Transport and Refreshments start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mumbai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mumbai?
+
On Outty we rank every Mumbai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Elephanta Caves & Island Guided Private Tour, Dharavi Slum Tour, Mumbai: Dharavi Slum & Dhobi Ghat Laundry Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mumbai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mumbai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
