Reality Tours and Travel is a socially responsible tour operator based in Mumbai, India. Our signature Dharavi slum tour dissects Dharavi, one of Asia’s largest slums, with the aim to break down negative stereotypes towards underprivileged communities. On other tours, such as the bicycle, public transport, market, night and street food tours, our well-trained and experienced guides reveal the 'real' Mumbai by exploring places visitors won't find in their travel guide books, all the while raising money for and awareness about the communities visited. 80% of the post- tax profits from all of the tours fund Reality Tours & Travel’s sister-NGO, Reality Gives (www.realitygives.org), which runs and supports various social development projects and micro-enterprises in the field of education, livelihood as well as environment and health.
