Discover Mumbai with people who call it home

Mumbai tours led by guides born and raised here — slum tours, street food walks, heritage trails and private city tours.

Mumbai Slum Tours

A million people. A billion dollar economy.

Walk Dharavi with a guide who grew up in its lanes, and see the recycling units, potteries and workshops behind the headlines.

Street Food Tours

Eat the city the way Mumbaikars do

Vada pav, pani puri, kebabs on Mohammed Ali Road and hand-churned ice cream from a parlour older than the country.

Evening and Night Tours

The Queen's Necklace, after dark

Marine Drive lit end to end, quiet temple tanks and Gothic landmarks glowing against the night sky.

Day Trips

Sail to a 1,500-year-old cave temple

An hour by ferry from the Gateway of India, the Elephanta Caves hold a three-faced Shiva carved straight into the rock.

Why choose us

Mumbai Tours with Local Guides from Dharavi

Mumbai Experiences is a local tour company running Dharavi slum tours, Mumbai city tours and food walks led by guides born and raised in the community. From the Gothic streets of South Mumbai to the working lanes of Dharavi, we show you the city beyond the usual tourist attractions.

Our Mumbai tour guides grew up here and know the people and places we visit. We think the best way to discover the city is not ticking off landmarks, but understanding the culture, history, food and everyday life behind them.

Whether you are looking for things to do in Mumbai on a first visit, arriving on a cruise, connecting through the airport, or planning a private Mumbai sightseeing tour, we run small-group and private tours across the city.

An uplifting and deeply educational visit. I felt genuinely welcomed and safe the entire way through, and left with a completely different picture of Dharavi than the one I arrived with.
Tiffany M, United KingdomDharavi Slum Tour
★★★★★
Our guide had remarkable knowledge of local history and excellent English. The whole day was genuinely exciting rather than the usual run through a checklist of monuments.

This was my third tour with the same guide. He is the best ambassador the Dharavi community could possibly have, and I keep bringing friends back to meet him.

The storytelling made everything easy to follow and genuinely engaging. Questions were answered honestly, including the awkward ones, which I appreciated.

★★★★★
We ate things I would never have dared order alone, all of it excellent. Travelling by local train between stops was half the experience.

Booked at short notice and everything was organised within the hour. Comfortable car, punctual, and a guide who clearly loves the city he lives in.
