Delhi Must-See! - This is a very eye-opening experience we highly recommend to visitors of Delhi. Sam was very informative and passionate, and had a very personal connection with the community. The tour is safe but I do recommend closed toed shoes. There are two meeting times/locations, we chose the earlier time and our tour included a subway trip to the tour location, which was also something we wanted to do in the city.

Sanjay - Great tour. Tour guide Aajay grew up here so all the information he shared with us was from a local perspective. Great information, enjoyable and safe.

Slum India is 🤩 - The MVP is the tour guide, Doli. She is a superb guide, and her storytelling skill is impressive.
Touring in slum sounds difficult, but this tour will introduce you slum in a way you will change your perception.

Highly recommend this tour - Excellent tour and the profits go to an excellent cause. Tavrej is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. You will see commercial areas where fabric is processed and clothing is made, residential areas, and the school that is run from the profits made by Reality Tours. No photos are allowed so the tour felt respectful and not intrusive to people living in the Sanjay Colony, but Reality Tours provides a link to photos you can download.

Heartwarming - Amazing initiative. Love that our tour leader grew up and still lives in this community. What struck me the most was the kids…all happy and clearly much loved. We have much to learn from these people who may not have our financial wealth but have riches in terms of community and family support.

Breathtaking - What a breathtaking and fascinating experience. Dolly, was the kindest and most knowledgeable guide. We learnt so much and we hope that more tourists visit to contribute to the best of causes, which is learning about areas like Sanjay Colony. Education and understanding is key!
