  Visiting Dhavari is the height of cultural experiences! With Divya as a tour guide, we got an inside view of what an amazing community this area is. She is the best…. As is the the Dhavari Chawls :)

  Great tour agenda but use a different company. Our guide complained that we chose the 7:30am start time. He rushed through things. Company didn’t tell us Gerry wasn’t running due to holiday. Guide stayed in slums where he lived and sent us back with a driver- didn’t even see us back to finish the tour. 6-8 hour tour done in 4 hours. He even left us at a park for 20 minutes while he went to have breakfast.

• Excellent tour with great impressions

  My tour guide was very well informed and very flexible. He also took me to the points in the slums that interested me personally. Thank you Sunil for the great tour.

  We absolutely loved this tour! We were on a cruise and didn’t have a lot of time, one day, to see the city. Our tour guide Sunil picked us up from the port and we got into a nice 4x4 Jeep. We saw all the major highlights. Sunil was excellent, great English, young and fun! He made it very interesting. We had a blast running around the city with him. We HIGHLY recommend India Magic Tours when in India! They also reached out immediately to see how our tour was and for feedback. Thank you!!! Julie and Liz, USA

• Itinerary not as promised so no Ferry ride and only 30 minutes in the Dharavi Slum

  Got off to a good start - we were met on time at the Port from our cruise ship an initially had a goodd rive around Mumbai. However the traffic soon started building up - we went to the Indian Gate for the Ferry but this was a public holiday and we were told over an hour to get on the Ferry and despite having been picke dup at 8, we were heading to midday and still hadn't gone to the Dharvani Slum. So we told the guide we would miss out on the Ferry Ride. We then drove for ages right out to the North of Mumbai - it ould appear to drop our guide Lawrencs at home and the driver then had to run back to take us to slums to meet our slum guide. The traffic was awful and in the end we had to agree to only 30 minutes with the slum guide and not the 90 minutes we could have had, if the guide had stuck to the itinerary an taken us there first. We will go back to Mumbai - we will not bopok another trip with this company.

  We arrived to Mumbai by cruise ship. Our guide Hasim was easily to located and had a sign with my name written amongst all the other tour operators. Hasim, although nice and friendly, seemed to have limited knowledge outside of the script he was given. Granted, we were asking some questions that are harder to answer, such as, "what building is this?" as we drove past it, but even for the main sites we visited - e.g. a statute outside of the train station, he was unable to answer. I would think Hasim would appeal to a younger crowd who just want to be driven to the main sites and don't want to deal with taxis. We got the impression the driver knew more about Mumbai than Hasim, but couldn't speak English to convey. That being said, Hasim found a nice Bengali restaurant - Oh Calcutta! - and was always waiting for us. In other words, he did his job as an escort, but we didn't get a proper tour guide service. Also of note, there was no water offered and no ferry ride as part of the tour. For the tour of the slums, our guide Mahesh provided good details on the walking tour. I have visited Soweto in South Africa and favelas in Brazil and I can stay that Mumbai was a lot better than either SA or Brazil. I'm not sure if this is just the general state of the slums or just the portion we visited - the key highlight is one of the alleys you walk through was a filming location for Slumdog Millionaire. To be fair, the slum part of the tour didn't look much different from the rest of Mumbai - it's an urban jungle through and through. The driver did a great job navigating traffic. If you are looking for an all in one experience and just want to get to the major sites, Magic India is a nice choice, but there might be more cost effective options out there and I'm sure it depends on the tour guide you get.

  Today we toured the Dharavi Slums with our incredible guide Torab. He provided a very in-depth tour of Dharavi. He personally lives in and grew up in Dharavi. He took us through the different industrial areas, residential areas and Main Street markets. He was incredibly knowledgeable and showed the reality of this city, ambition and entrepreneurial spirit. I would highly recommend going on this tour with Magic Tours of Mumbai. It is a not for profit organization that hires college students who live in Dharavi part time, to help them afford school. Definitely do this tour!!

  I was alone in Mumbai and so I decided to book this tour to have a "local guide". Overall a deep and satisfying tour, but Mumbai is nothing "exceptional" regarding monuments.Tour was absolutely great to understand the diversity and the mood of Mumbai! My guide was Vishal, a guy living in the Mumbai slum and my driver was Devraj. Vishal was absolutely great, full of information and kindness. Highly client oriented! Driver was 100% valued. Raccomended!

  I did this amazing trick with Raaj It was just magical given that he was born there he speaks to you better than anyone and despite the difficulty of the place I can say that this is my most moving visit of all India because Raaj has also made me see the good sides of having work and allowing everyone to evolve and educate the children properly in India Bravo and thank you
