Things to do in Bandra Fort

To begin with it’s my first time inside a slum. To amaze me, the experience changed my mindset of a slum. Dharavi is not a slum; it’s more of an unorganized industrial zone. As a solo traveler I felt it was necessary to have a guided tour in such a congested place; that thought process led me to book this tour and it was totally worth it. It’s not practically possible to walk through every alley and road of Dharavi. So; it becomes essentially important to walk with a clear cut itinerary; the guide: Ali, made my life easier. From pickup to drop off; with a clear cut route map: industries➡️lifestyle➡️living conditions➡️highs and lows➡️the transformation of the place. Ali was indeed a local boy; I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Overall for me a 10/10 experience. Walking through Dharavi was always a bucket list for me and with this tour it became a reality.

We had a fantastic and very informative day exploring Mumbai. Despite a few monsoon showers and the city’s busy traffic, the tour was well organised and full of memorable sights. A special thank you to our guide, Fahad, who was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging throughout the day. He brought every stop to life with clear explanations, local stories and useful context—from the ancient Kanheri Caves and the Gateway of India to Crawford Market, CSMT, Marine Drive, Haji Ali Dargah, Mani Bhavan and Dharavi. Thank you as well to our driver, Mehtab, for navigating Mumbai’s traffic so calmly and professionally. We felt safe and comfortable all day. The rain only added to the atmosphere, and we came away with a much deeper understanding of Mumbai’s history, energy and diversity. Highly recommended—thank you, Fahad and Mehtab!

This was an incredible and eye-opening experience visiting one of the most well-known slum areas in the world. The guide did an excellent job — showing us all the key spots and sharing valuable insights, before safely bringing us back. For the price, it was truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.
