An excellent tour with an exceptional guide. Balaji was excellent, talking about his experience growing up in the area. Very positive and empathetic
Balaji was extremely professional. He conducted the tour with precision. He is knowledgeable and articulate. Highly recommended.
We did the slum walking tour in Mumbai and it was a great experience. Before going, we were a bit unsure because we didn’t want to take part in something that felt like a “poverty tour,” but the approach is completely different. Our guide, Balaji, was excellent. He was very kind and attentive from beginning to end, he even walked with us afterward to make sure we could safely get our Uber. What really made the experience special was the local perspective he shared. You can clearly feel his genuine connection to the place, which makes everything much more authentic. Instead of focusing on the negative stereotypes often associated with these communities, the tour highlights the strong sense of community and the real daily life of the people who live there. We could learn about how things work, especially the small businesses and the recycling system that exists there. Of course, it is a different lifestyle from what many of us are used to, but that is exactly what makes the experience so interesting and enriching. We were also surprised by how organized many aspects of daily life are. If you are hesitating because you are worried it might feel exploitative or uncomfortable, don’t be. That is not the spirit of this tour. It is a genuine opportunity to learn and better understand the local reality. I highly recommend it. It was an excellent experience, largely thanks to our guide Balaji.
Guru didn’t show up and when I messaged replied with “tour won’t happen today” Poor communication and rude
