点评:We had an excellent experience with Passport Lifestyles during our half-day Dharavi tour on February 20th. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish.
Our guide, Ali, arrived punctually to pick us up from the lobby of our hotel, the Trident, and a car was waiting outside to take us to Churchgate station. From there we enjoyed a first-class local train ride to Mahim, right on the edge of the Dharavi slum, which was an experience in itself and a great way to see how Mumbai moves.
The walk through Dharavi was truly an eye-opener. What struck us most was the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people living and working there. We saw countless small industries operating within the slum, including plastic recycling, leather working, pottery, and many other forms of small-scale manufacturing. It was fascinating to see how self-sufficient and industrious the community is, even though the living and working conditions can be quite shocking.
Ali was an excellent guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful throughout the tour. He stopped regularly to explain what was happening in the various workshops and neighbourhoods along the way, giving us a much deeper understanding of how the slum functions and the realities of life there.
This tour was one of the most memorable and thought-provoking experiences of our visit to Mumbai. We would highly recommend Passport Lifestyles to anyone interested in gaining a deeper insight into the city beyond the usual tourist attractions.
翻译:2月20日,我们参加了Passport Lifestyles组织的半日达拉维之旅,体验非常棒。从始至终,一切都安排得井井有条。
我们的导游阿里准时到达我们入住的Trident酒店大堂接我们,一辆车已经在外面等候,送我们前往Churchgate火车站。从那里,我们乘坐一流的当地火车前往位于达拉维贫民窟边缘的马希姆,这本身就是一次难忘的体验,也是了解孟买城市生活节奏的绝佳方式。
漫步达拉维,真是令人大开眼界。最让我们印象深刻的是生活和工作在那里的人们的智慧和创造力。我们看到贫民窟里有无数的小型工厂在运作,包括塑料回收、皮革加工、陶器制作以及其他各种小型制造业。尽管生活和工作条件令人震惊,但这个社区的自给自足和勤劳令人叹为观止。
阿里是一位非常优秀的导游。整个行程中,他都非常友善、博学且彬彬有礼。他时不时停下来,沿途讲解各个作坊和街区的情况,让我们对贫民窟的运作方式和那里的真实生活有了更深入的了解。
这次旅行是我们孟买之行中最令人难忘、最发人深省的体验之一。我们强烈推荐Passport Lifestyles给所有想要深入了解这座城市,而不仅仅是游览常规景点的游客。
