WELCOME TO REALITY TOURS AND TRAVEL
We are a unique tour
and travel agency, based in Mumbai, India, that specializes
in guided tours of Dharavi- Asia′s biggest “slum”- a place of poverty
and hardship but also a place of
enterprise, humour and non-stop activity. By showing this enterprise and community spirit, we
hope to try and help dispel the negative image that many people have
about Dharavi and slums in Mumbai.
This part of the company is not run for profitable purposes- the money from the tours goes to support the activities of our
sister organization- Reality Cares- an NGO working in Dharavi
in the area of education. Reality Cares currently runs a kindergarten and community centre, which are visited on the tour.
We also run other tours which give you an insight into the “real” India, such as the market tour and Indian Village
Tour. We also do more traditional sightseeing.

The company is owned and run jointly by two young guys from India and England, and
we understand that the role of the tour guide is vitally important for your enjoyment of
the various tours that we run.
All the guides speak very good English and have had extensive training, so are able to
explain in detail the places that we visit. They are also all young, come from modest backgrounds, and are
genuinely interested in our customers- this and the fact that we only have group sizes of 6 maximum
makes the exchange so much more than just what you visit.
We have a NO TIPS POLICY
to make the tour as comfortable for you as possible, and we ask you to fill out questionnaires to maintain
standards- we take pride in the positive feedback both from these and from comments made on our discussion forum
and in the press.
