Best Part of New Delhi - My mother and I spent a week and a half traveling through India before ending in New Delhi. This tour was one of the best parts of our time there. I'd gotten sick the day before, and our tour guide called an extra guide to walk with me while my mother walked ahead. I progressively felt better throughout the tour, which was so insightful and so amazing. There are so many parts of New Delhi that visitors don't think about seeing, and this one is definitely underrated. We walked through the markets and the school, where we were greeted so warmly by all the students and instructors. For anyone interested in children, education, and opportunity, this tour is a must see. I cannot recommend it enough. Every single person we met was so kind and genteel and wonderful in every way. My mother and I loved our time immensely and wish all the best to the guides and the school.

Amazing Delhi by locals tour. - I was in Delhi in December 2024. I was referred to Delhi by Locals by a friend. Pradeep, Badal and the team went above and beyond to make sure I had a magnificent time. I went to many different places including the old Delhi, New Delhi, Sanjay Slum Colony. Where I met the students. They were amazing. The team is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and caring. They made me feel as if I was a family member visiting their country. I made friends for life. I will have Delhi by locals in my heart forever. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience. I will recommend you to everyone.

Super nice but impressive excursion!! - Very impressive interesting tour had by the guide Badr
He himself comes from this slum and has been able to give a lot of relevant information.
The project "learning by locals" really impressed me.
Got a lot of information that I would never have had otherwise, especially by the person Badr. Great!!
