Balaji & Team - Tour Guide in Mumbai

Discover the Real Mumbai with a Local from Dharavi!

Namaste! I'm Balaji, a born-and-bred Mumbaikar from the Dharavi community. After over 15 years as a guide, We started Our Own Tour with a simple mission: to show you the true heart of my city and empower the talented youth of Our neighborhood.

What to Expect on My Tour:

Forget the stereotypes! I, along with Our team of passionate local students, will take you on an unforgettable journey through Dharavi and beyond. We are not just guides; we are storytellers who will share with you the incredible resilience, creativity, and vibrant culture that makes Mumbai so special.

More Than Just a Tour - Your Visit Makes a Difference:

When you book this walk, you are directly supporting the education and skill development of Our young team members. You are helping create opportunities and foster financial independence within our community. This is responsible, sustainable tourism that truly gives back.

Join us for an authentic adventure that changes perspectives and empowers a community. Let's explore the real Mumbai together!

This tour is nice in the morning... Though it was not so busy this morning at the fishing harbour it was still nice to see the sunrise... Easy to travel around with help of the guide. Flower market very colourful.

The Guide was humble and a nice man, but the Quality of Content was not as expected, he was silent most of the times and it was more of a Walking tour then Guided Tour. At the end of the tour, they will take you to the Room and ask for money and you can't leave without paying, like what is this ? Then soon after I left Balaji called me and speaking rudely for no reasons spoiled my entire day. Won't recommend at all. There are better walks in the area.

Response from Balaji & Team
Thank you for your bad feedback, in return of our best tour service by our humble Tour Guide Sidesh. your comments do not reflect the actual situation. Our tours are free but, at end of the tour we expect fair Tip from ever guest and this is clearly communicated in advance. At the end, we simply requested payment for the service you had already taken, but you left without paying. We contacted you only to resolve this, not to be rude. We always aim to provide honest experiences and expect fair treatment in return. Regards, Balaji Mumbai Experiences
