Delhi slum was more industrious, enterprising and inhabited by hard working people, one cannot find even a single beggar - The tour took us through an area of the slums much more developed than one would expect. Many pathways were tidy, and smelled better than much of Delhi. Small machines and workers hummed industriously, producing all kinds of materials from clothes to paper bowls etc. We learned how Delhi’s fabrics recycling is all done in the slums, alongside many other businesses. Heck, there’s even wifi, electricity and private toilets for everyone.
Organization-wise too, I have no complaints. The guide, a native of another Delhi slum, spoke excellent English and answered all questions. There’s a strict no-camera policy on the tour to protect the privacy of the residents (and prevent the neighborhood from turning into a zoo).

Delhi’s quintessential tour with such an amazing local experience. - While planning to book an authentic local experience I was really hesitant to book this and arrived with some nerves around feeling safe in a slum environment. The pretour correspondence with Mr Jai Singh was awesome, the car and the driver arrived dot onntime and then i was taken to the "Sanjay slum", then i met the specialist guide from the local slums was incredible, super informative, personable and most of all compassionate about the lives of the locals. He proudly said that not a single beggar can be found in the slums and everyone is busy in their hard-earned jobs. I can't recommend this trip enough to experience the tough reality of one of the poorest but proud areas of Delhi. 10/10 Experience.

An interesting experience and Totally different from what you had expected - This tour must be in your bucket list while visiting Delhi, I really wanted to experience how slum life works and this tour worked out really well for me. Trust me the slum life was totally different from what you expected. Perfectly safe to walk, meet the locals who are really nice. Everyone has got a piece of job and busy in rebuilding their lives. The guide and the agency were thorough professionals and passionate about their job.

Togetherness - Visiting the slum will change your perspective on those who are less fortunate than you. Although these families do not have much, their laughter and friendliness are infectious. The children are playing and seem joyful. I am grateful for this experience. The guide provided me with great insight about the community because he is a part of it. Feeling grateful for the experience!!

If you do just one trip, do this one - Excellent tour. Our fabulous guide Nisha was very knowledgeable as she has lived her whole life in the slums. We felt totally safe as 2 female visitors. The viator guide, Mr Bram, also stayed with us, and he was excellent. Pick-up and drop off were as arranged. We would definitely recommend this tour. We were even invited to have a traditional cup of tea with Nisha and her mother, we saw 1st hand how the family live. An experience we will never forget. Thank you so much.

Adventure - Our guide Victor was from this area. Having a local guide provides invaluable insights that a general tour couldn't offer.
He explained and showed us how daily is here. How people work in the garment district. From the very beginning to the end.
Everyone was so friendly especially the children. This highlighted the warmth and welcoming nature of the community, creating a memorable experience for us.
We were interacting with the people, which is the best way to learn about another culture. I highly recommend this tour with Victor.

a great experience of real life - Great experience, Viktor has been fantastic in giving us a real vision of the life in the slum. we also had the opportunity to visit the inside of the slum and it was really astonishing to see how they organize their life. don't think to a degradated place, is a micro-world where everybody have an activity and children have instruction. we warmly suggest this visit with Viktor.

highly recommended walking tour and the highlight of our India trip. - This awesome “slum tour” was a totally safe one, we found NO beggars at all and all locals were busy with their work and small-scale units / setups. The guide came from the local slum itself and was highly engaging, we were so proud that he was so fluent in English and also training other slum kids as the future guides. Slum dwellers are actually hardworking people always looking to work and live around the nearby manufacturing facilities. Many of them are fabric recyclers, mechanics etc. We also visited an English-speaking coaching centre run by an NGO, it was a fun place for the slum kids to get trained in English, since English speaking abilities fetch jobs quicker in India. Truly an overwhelming experience which we will always remember.

When the going gets tough, then tough gets going, salute to the slum dewellers for their hard work - An enlightening tour with a learning experience! Thank you to Mr Jay for the nice tour and. This tour connects with the people of the local community and make them feel comfortable while we watched their daily work and lives. Everywhere we were taken, people were friendly and welcoming. Although living in slums is a tough situation but that doesnot stops them to strive hard for a better life. Will definitely recommended this amazing tour company and this tour that gives back to the communities
