September 10 2019Trip was very smooth
Indiator can never disappoint you and its efficient service was best experienced when I along with my girls gang booked Dabbawalas Tour with Dhobi Ghat and Dharavi Slums in Mumbai. In a company of an Indiator travel guide and on time transfer service the trip was very smooth.

The visit to Asia's largest slum was interesting, was surprised how people living in low conditions still have peaking desire to do something. Also, the hardwork of Indian meal delivery workers was astonishing. Highly dedicated to their work. Good experience.
