Interesting, uniquely Indian experience. Well worth a visit to the viewing deck (on K K road). Go early in the morning to see the actual washing taking place. In the afternoon, you will just see all … Full review by O2778BSsusant
A tourist company said that the large company he works for does not recommend going into the Dhobi Ghat and instead only suggests people briefly view the area from a distance.

If you plan to see only the main sights/tourist attractions (Gateway of India, CS Station, Haji Ali, Marine Drive, Elephanta Caves, etc.) in Mumbai, you won’t need a tourist guide. You can book a taxi for a whole day and visit the sights at your pace. However, if you plan to explore lot of places...including some niche ones (areas with some unique residential architecture, Bollywood movie studios, local temples or churches, University building, etc.), then a guide is recommended. If you’re going to book a cab for the whole day, same agency can provide a guide. Happy Travels!

You can visit by yourselves and it is free, but not sure how you get there from the metro, other than you will see reams of washing hanging out to dry along the buildings bordering the road, and there will inevitably be a number of Europeans trapsing in and out of the ‘compound’ ...
