Ali was out of town and sent a substitute (Nisar) to take us on the tour. This was sadly one of the least enjoyable walks we’ve done. The best Nisar could do was show us where the monuments were. He had very little factual or historic information to share and at times gave us incorrect or implausible data, e.g. that Air India was founded in 1863 or that Parsis fled from Iraq as opposed to Iran. I would have spared Ali this review had he not reached out after the tour to complain about the tip we gave his friend being too low. We should have left after the first five minutes. Definitely skippable.

Response from Ali
It sounds like your tour experience was disappointing, especially with the lack of historical accuracy and misinformation provided by the substitute guide. It's unfortunate that Ali reached out to complain about the tip, adding to the negative experience. Thank you for sharing your feedback; it's valuable for both future customers and the tour organizers to ensure better experiences in the future.

Nothing really prepares you for the grit and scale of enterprise in Dharavi. Balaji was a great guide, very authentic, friendly, easy with facts and so respectful. He took us through the industrial recycling business area of Dharavi and this was an absolute highlight and so inspiring. There are other parts too (leather, pottery) and it’s a fair bit of walking but very worth it and highly recommendable. Thank you Balaji!
