Nice, respectful walk through the community. The guide is well known under the locals and presents the tour like a visit of his friends. People are very curious and open so you feel quite safe. You also learn about the integration of the community into the city life and how it works economically. However, expect very bad hygienic conditions and poor air quality for european standards. If you dont mind this, I fully recommend this tour.

Very humbling experience. One of my most memorable in India. If you're up for it I highly recommend it, but it's not for the faint of hear. Bring as little with you as possible, and no pictures allowed. It's a big shock at first and I had a bit of trepidation, but I felt safe inside. It's like a different city within Delhi.

It was a really interesting tour. our guide was knowledgeable and clearly knew the area as many children and residents acknowledged him and stopped to talk with him as we wondered through. We drank chai in one small shop, talked with a couple of the local men there. Then into a Tissue Bread making shop. What an intense small room but really interesting. Stopped to talk in the market path and a local home where the ladies create henna tattoos. Then back to our starting point. If you want something other than the regular tourist tour then consider this one.

An incredible and thoughtful experience. Santan had a beautiful energy and the way he shares the stories of the community was super loving and in depth. We felt so welcomed and very safe during our tour. Thank you Santan!

Santan is an excellent guide who manages to show you the very human side of the slum in a way were you get close to the lokals in a respectfull manner. I would definitely recommend this tour and Santan to anyone!

I love to learn more about the locals and the reality of the people of the countries I visit, and this was a good way to do that. The slums are an alternate reality to what I'm used to so it was a very interesting experience to connect with the people and learn more about their culture and their day to day life. My guide Santan was extremely friendly, and made me feel safe at all times. We talked to a couple of the locals that he was familiar with, and he took me on a short walk around the area. Grateful to him for the experience, will definitely recommend

It is not my first slum tour, and it was not such a big shock to me, but it is definitely something to experience in order to correct the personal focus. The tour was well organised, the guide was punctual and knew the topic in debth. I can't say I enjoyed the tour as there is nothing to enjoy among people's misery, but I would definitely recommend it as a compulsory part of any trip to India. It will change your perspective about life values. Thumb up from me.

Santan my guide was a lovely person. He was very kind and caring and so respectful to the lovely people we visited. He asked us not to take photos once we entered the area which I thought was very considerate and respectful to the people living there. They were so happy to meet us and were fine to let us walk around and look at how they live. They had a lovely community spirit and had shops, food stalls etc. We watched a bakery in operation and sat down in a little shop for a tea. The children were so cute and very interested in us. It was a great experience and I’m so glad I did the tour and would recommend it to anyone. I felt very safe and comfortable. Definitely do this tour!!!

A good experience in Delhi. Santan was very attentive and he showed us a slum that he knew well. We were able to contact people who live there. And we could see the reality of Delhi. Totally recommended if you have time in Delhi. Una buena experiencia en Delhi. Santan estuvo muy atento y nos mostró un slum que conocía bien y pudimos contactar con personas que viven allí.

Santan was a very friendly guy who seemed to know everyone in the slum. I expected guns and crime stories but was shown everyday’s life of ordinary people. Eye opening experience!

For people who being indecisive to take this tour since it’s quite controversial topic - it’s not a tour it’s more like an occasion to get to know the people/lives in the community and share your love. Tbh after this I got complicated feeling since I could offer nothing to change the situation but at least we could learn how the community itself runs sustainably somehow and what would be a significant key to help them become independent. Also, people in the community treat/trust the guide as family that helps me to feel get closer with them. Let’s share your love and learn about one real part of India!

The world is so unequally yoked and it kills me to know that some people are living extreme realities, more so than others. It doesn’t make much sense to me but what I do know is Love was Found in ALL SPACES within this tour! Extremely Humbling Experience. Life Changing ✨ This tour was done with such love and integrity! Santan is an INCREDIBLE GUIDE! He had a way of making this NOT FEEL LIKE A TOUR but having us be one with the community who was soo loving , open, curious, and kind! We gave back to the community instead of coming there to exploit them or take advantage. Tell your friends so they too can come give love, energy and connection! I am forever grateful! Go there with an open heart and open mind and leave them with more than you came with! They deserve love and good energy! Be the change ✨

We had opportunity to join a tour guided by Santan. The topic of poverty is very sensible, but Santan approaches the people from community with compassion and is being treated as an old friend. We strongly recommend the activity for the ones who wish to step off the beaten path and learn about humanity.

Recommended for seeing a different New Delhi. Our guide Santan was very kind. Someone who was in New Delhi and wasn't on this trip, it's as if he wasn't in New Delhi

The guide: 1. Engaging 2. Knowledgeable 3. Made us feel welcomed into the community we visited 4. Used our tips to buy food & treats for the children 5. Gave us an opportunity to go into the bakery to watch the men at work - I even had a go at making the feather bread which makes their daily production of 12,000 units, even more astounding 6. Had reservations about going to look at a slum but actually we were given an opportunity to meet a community who are happy & look after each other 7. We ate fantastic food 8. One of us enjoyed a fantastic head massage The guide helped us to access at ATM afterwards. He was very pleasant & we’d highly recommend him.
