I have been a Mumbai sightseeing guide since 2010. It was the fulfillment of a dream I have had for over a decade. I love the beauty and history of Mumbai City and enjoy sharing my passion and enthusiasm for Mumbai with visitors and residents alike.
My company also conducts private, group, and special occasion tours. My tours are always evolving and changing, much like our city, and I always try to give my guests the very newest and complete information available. I love what I do, plain and simple. This is not a job for me; it is my life's passion

First we were able to see the famous local open-air laundry where daily the Dhobi caste do laundry.
Then we went directly into the slums. We were shown the unhealthy plastic recycling process, the local bakery and other slums crafts. None of locals asked us for money! I will stop to describe, those who dare necessarily see for themselves.
General impressions.
Solid five for prividers! Do not doubt You will get out of Your zone of comfort. Some facts can be shocking and beyond belief. For example, hygiene and nutrition. I saw that even in the slums very very slowly but the digital age is coming. You can meet people with cheap mobile phones on it’s streets. Undoubtedly they are progressing. Of course we were taken out of the slums and driven back to ohr hotel)
Tips.
You need to respect the local rules and listen to the Guide! Please, if You are asked not to make photos You do not need to experiment to create problems for Yourself and the Guide. Where You can - You will be allowed. People are happy there - watch for correctness of Your statements! Always listen to the Guide. Do not be lazy to buy rubber/rain boots that will not be sorry to leave there, it is hard to find it in India.
