You must go. - They showed me places I could never come without a guide. I am very inspired by seeing the real life of the local area with my own eyes, and if you have come to India, I would like you to try it.

Eye-opening and important! - Very much recommended tour! Local guide Aje who grew up in the slum and still lives there shows you the reality of people living there, the different neighbourhoods, infrastructure and education system. We were sceptical about “ethical” but he is giving back to the community and supports a NGO that provides extra free education for children living in the slum. Highly recommended since almost half of the population of Delhi is living in a slum.

Amazing ethical, informative experience - We really wanted an ethical expérience to visit what is called a slum, and not just drop by as a tourist. Ajay made us feel like it, explained a lot and provided some good views. No pictures, which is really important, only in our minds then.

10/10 experience, highly recommend - Our guide, Ajay, grew up in the area and provided an insightful perspective, answering all our questions as we went along. We started just outside the neighborhood to learn about the local economy and saw where textiles are sorted. Moving through the area, we were educated on the realities of how the community accesses electricity and water, the challenges of day-to-day life, and stopped by a Hindu temple, a mosque, a local clinic, and a school. Ajay was very thoughtful and even stopped to buy us water at the start. At the end of the tour, Ajay walked us directly back to our Uber, which was very much appreciated. This is an eye-opening and essential look at a side of the city many travelers miss.

A Meaningful and Eye-Opening Experience in Delhi - I joined a slum tour in Delhi and found it incredibly meaningful. It was respectful, well-organized, and gave a real insight into the community, their resilience, and daily life. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience authentic without ever feeling intrusive. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see a deeper, more human side of Delhi.

Authentic and enlightening. - What an excellent and enlightening tour! It gives incredible authenticity to such an experience when your guide was himself born in the colony and still lives there with his family and volunteers within the community.
