The whole experience will sit with you long after the tour is over. It was an eye opening experience and a safe way to witness the every day lives of the people of Mumbai. The real Mumbai. A truly industrious city. Our guide Javed was excellent and very kind and helpful in answering all our questions. He navigated us through the Dabbawalas, Dhobi Ghat and Dharavi. The train ride was also a wonderful experience.
