New Delhi Slum Walking Tour

Posted By : mariomY8783LC
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. Y pudimos ver la verdadera realidad de Delhi. Totalmente recomendable si tenéis tiempo en Delhi.
