    Super recommended tour!

    Vijay and Manisha were the best guides we could have had! They introduced us to a more hidden and real part of Delhi that many classic tours do not show. Super recommended tour!

    Response from the operator: Dear Sofia, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and heartfelt recommendation! It means so much to both Vijay and me to know that you enjoyed exploring the authentic and lesser-known side of Delhi with us. We are delighted that our Sanjay Colony and Old Delhi experience gave you a different perspective beyond the usual tourist attractions. We truly love sharing our local culture, community stories, and everyday life with our guests, and your kind words make these experiences even more special. It was a pleasure having you with us. Thank you for choosing Travel with Locals India, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure! Warm regards, Manisha Manager – Travel with Locals India

    Really interesting places- very unique.

    Really interesting tour- included places that don't tend to feature on many " Highlights of Delhi " Tours. Went to the Gandhi Museum,Lhodi Gardens,a Stepwell and a working Street Laundry - where everything is still washed by traditional methods. Once again,Vijay gave us a real insight into the history of these unique places. I would highly recommend this trip.

    Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.

    How much does Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at ₹4,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Delhi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Delhi is not rushed.

    Is Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Delhi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Delhi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Delhi and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Delhi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New Delhi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every New Delhi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Taj Mahal & Agra Fort Private Day Trip From Delhi with 5* Lunch, 5 Nights 6 Days Private Golden Triangle Tour - Delhi Agra Jaipur, Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New Delhi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New Delhi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Snacks; and Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Sanjay Colony Slum & Old delhi Street Food Tasting tour if the weather is bad?
