Right from the time we arrived, we were made to feel included amongst other fellow travellers, made me feel safe throughout and was indeed a seamless and an enjoyable experience. Had it not been for Reality Tours, I wouldn't have explored this hidden gem on my own.

After originally using Reality Tours in 2012, I returned to Mumbai last week and again booked a tour but this time I also attended the Holi celebration. Very well organised and a thoroughly entertaining and educational experience. I wish more people would choose to see dharavi.

An excellent tour. We had a young man aged 31 as our guide who was born and lived in the slum area and he was a font of knowledge. He spoke excellent English which he started to speak only in 2016. His information was delivered clearly and concisely and as we made our way through the area. It was obvious he was well respected by the locals as he always told us when we could and when we could not take any photos as well as guiding us through the slums.
