Santan led a great tour into an interesting community - Santan was kind and is well-known in the community so it didn’t feel as intrusive as it could have. He gives back to the community which makes it better as well. I recommend this tour to see how this community lives.

Incredible Zakhira Tour - Santan was our guide yesterday for the Zakhira tour. There were only three of us, including Santan, so it felt almost like a private experience—likely because the summer season is approaching and there are fewer tourists. I wholeheartedly recommend Santan. He made the tour feel like a true journey: we met people, exchanged with them, and experienced moments of their daily lives in a genuine and respectful way. Throughout, we felt completely safe and welcomed. This tour may not be for everyone, but if your intention is to embrace a more authentic side of Delhi - and India as a whole - I highly recommend it. Santan’s connection with the community, his knowledge of the area’s history, and his openness in sharing all of it make him an exceptional guide. Santan, my warmest gratitude for this meaningful experience.

Fantastic walk and learning experience - Santan and the families of this community provided us with an experience we will never forget. Entering this neighborhood and seeing these homes and businesses was really special and we would recommend anyone in Delhi to do this tour to see a unique side of the city. Thank you very much, Santan!

A must view experience - Santan is a very knowledgeable and informative guy who knows and is respected by the local community. Santan’s relationship with the community is one of respect on both sides and this breaks down the barriers between the residents and visitors alike, making us feel accepted and not intrusive. This was a very good and informative experience even though some aspects were quite tough to us westerners. Santan has an excellent education programme going on for the residents which needs support so he can continue to make a difference. Don’t feel uncomfortable about going!

Insights into the daily life of a slum in delhi - A very interesting tour that shows life in a slum in Delhi. Santan, our guide, provided a very respectful insight into local life. The people were all very respectful and friendly and were happy to see us. The children in particular were very curious.

Amazing tour - We had an amazing tour with Santan in the slums of Delhi. He did a great job, we could ask anything we want and he was patiently answering! We met a lot of locals there, everyone want to say „hi“ and they were really lovely. I recommend this tour a 10 out of 10!

Humbling and must do experience - Initially my wife was hesitant about doing this tour, as she didn't think it was right. But it's clear that Santan has a very close connection to this community and is helping them a lot. We understand that he is only one of two people not part of the community showing there way of life. It was very, very humbling. We would have no hesitation in recommending that you experience this whilst in Delhi. We wish Santan all the luck in the world as he continues his support for this community and the setting up of educational programmes for the children. All our sincere love.
