    Broad and informative

    Brilliant day with Taman our guide and Davindar our driver. Covered so many areas and so many topics but Taman was very knowledgeable despite the range of subjects. The most humbling part of our tour was hands down the visit to Sanjay Colony Slum, which was very moving, thought provoking and uplifting to see real people living out their lives in challenging circumstances. The sense of community was incredible. Any preconceptions of what a slum might look like should be dropped at the door, people took pride in their appearance and their surroundings. Fantastic to see the children being taught in their English and Computing lessons, laptops donated by Amazon! Everyone living in the slum seemed relaxed we were there and we were made to feel very welcome, lots of ‘hi’s’ especially the children! One big shout out for Reality Tours, and the positive impact tourism can have on communities. Recommend booking directly with Reality Tours for maximum impact.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are very happy to hear that you had a great day with Tarun and Davindar. We are glad you enjoyed exploring Delhi and learning about the different areas and communities. It’s great to know that your visit to Sanjay Colony was meaningful and gave you a different view of life in the community. Thank you for supporting Reality Tours and for sharing your experience with others. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again in Delhi!

    One hour in Dehli slum

    Excellent experience, quick tour to local slum in Dehli with a friendly guide. Location near the metro. We saw temple, school and other interesting places inside. No problem with smell but a lot of flies there. Overall I enjoy it. Many thanks to our guide

    A special walk!

    Having the opportunity to visit the slum was a highlight of our time in Delhi, from the smiling children to the textile workers it was a special experience. I really recommend this tour to understand the living conditions of a big proportion of Delhi’s population. Most of all we are super grateful for having felt welcomed by the people living there who let us discover their daily lives!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that the experience was a highlight of your time in Delhi and that you felt warmly welcomed by the community. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are so happy you enjoyed the experience!

    Sanjay Colony Slum Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sanjay Colony Slum Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at ₹1,600 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 Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.8 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 Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 566 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 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 Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sanjay Colony Slum Tour?

    +

    Around 198 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 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sanjay Colony Slum 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 Tour?

    +

    Included: Local English speaking Guide; and Water / Cold Drink. Not included: Hotel/Residence pickup and drop-off; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Sanjay Colony Slum Tour?

    +

    We meet outside Gate 2 at Harkesh Nagar Okhla Metro Station Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Sanjay Colony Slum 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 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.

    What happens to Sanjay Colony Slum Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in New Delhi. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Sanjay Colony Slum Tour?

    +

    Across 566 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, good for families. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
