Highly recommended tour!! - The tour is highly recommended, extremely authentic, and provides a very good impression of life in the slum, how people earn money, the living conditions, and also a lot about the education and opportunities for the children. Learning by Locals is an NGO that aims to support youth with education and help them become more self-confident in order to grow. The proceeds from the tour support the program. Our guide Badal did a great job, spoke very good English even though he has only been learning the language for four years, and provided us with a lot of interesting background information. Great tour if you enjoy exploring more than just the typical sights. Highly recommended. The meeting point at the metro station worked very well, with WhatsApp contact on the day of booking.

This Tour Will Be a Highlight of Your Trip - We had a 10 hour layover in Delhi before we flew home and I was looking for a tour that did more than cover the usual Delhi tourist highlights, which we had already seen. I found the perfect answer: Tour with Locals. I emailed with the owner, Pradeep to set our tour. He was very responsive and set up the exact experience I wanted. We combined the Slum Tour with some specific shopping locations I wanted to visit. We were picked up at the airport from our domestic flight in a very nice air conditioned car and visited various sites until it was time for us to be dropped off at the airport again. We left our luggage in the car. The afternoon we spent with Salman and Pradeep was uplifting and inspiring. Not at all the reaction I was expecting from a slum tour. I was hesitant to book this tour because I was afraid it would be like doing a disaster tour where everything was sad and depressing. It was just the opposite. We spent some time touring the neighborhood and then the school. After that we did visited the Lotus Center, did a quick tea tasting and did a little shopping. Prandeep can create whatever experience you desire. Our guide Salman answered all our questions honestly and gave us insightful answers. No questions were off limit. Half of the tour fee is reinvested back into the school. Most important, we got to know a part of Delhi that we would never have seen on our own, met the amazing staff at Tour With Locals, spent some time with the children at the school and came away with a better understanding of India. Pradeep is an amazing leader who is inspiring the youth of Delhi. Neither my husband or I expected to be so affected by this experience. If you are considering this type of experience I would urge you to go ahead and book it. You will not regret it.

Highlight of south Delhi for us - We loved our tour hosted by Badal in the Sanjay colony slum tour. Please do not hesitate to do this eye opening tour. The locals here support themselves have pride in themselves and are extremely hardworking. No offense is taken to the word slum here. Our guide answered any and all questions we had about the way of life here we went to the local school which was one of the highlights of the trip. The students were kind and curious , friendly and lovely as were all of the teachers we met. Most of them attended the school themselves including our guide who was clearly beloved by all the people there. There is no pressure to buy anything and there is no begging. It is a beautiful family community with curious kids playing hide and seek and welcoming tourists. Please note half of the profit received from this tour goes back to the local school. This tour makes a real difference to this community of people. We loved it!

Family visit - Pradeep and Badal are super human beings, selfless, informative, kind hearted; they welcomed us into their community and home, explaining about life in Sanjay and the school they support. The children in the school were happy to show us around, performed a dance they had prepared and we even experienced a birthday celebration for one of the teachers. This was both very humbling and heart warming. A truly memorable time.

Do not miss this tour!!!! - Do not hesitate to book this tour. It was truly an eye opening experience for us and one of our favorite tours we took while traveling through India. Our guide Badal lives here with his family so he was able to explain any and all questions in great detail. We talked about everything from attending school, the rent, utilities, hospitals and family. Any and all of our questions were answered without hesitation. We felt very safe at all times. There was no begging and no pressure to buy anything. The local kids were friendly and curious. We also had a chance to visit the local school and interact with both students and teachers. This tour is a short walk from the metro and close to the Lotus Temple. It was amazing!!!

Real India-strong experience - It was great experience to see how the people live, what are their life conditions, but most important how they work to improve the possibilities for young generation in their community centre, our guide was very professional,kind and gave us a whole picture about the situation in colony. We can warmly recommend this tour!

Unmissable experience - We toured the Sanjay Colony Slum and it was a touching experience. Our guide was invaluable in explaining how life is here and the visit to the Learning by Locals school was touching. Do a valuable job! Keep it up!

Good! - Very good and lovely! Namaste

Well organised tour with an informative and friendly very accommodating guide named Badal. The tour involved a metro transfer. - Would not hesitate to recommend this tour should you ever visit Delhi l. An experience that included a metro travel transfer to the outskirts if Delhi

A great day in Sanjay colony. - I highly recommend this trip. The people that run the trip were great and the children I met were wonderful.
