Awesome food tour!
I have had a wonderful time on the food tour with Vijay! He picked us up at a central location in Delhi and leaded us perfectly to old Delhi where the tour started. He has a vast amount of knowledge about the area and the Indian food culture which he shared throughout the day. We tried all different kinds of tasty Indian dishes and created an extremely lovely atmosphere. He was not just a tour guide but became a good friend in just a few hours. He was super friendly and even helped us with booking a train ticket to Agra. I can full heartedly recommend him for the tours he provides! Additional don’t be scared about the few reviews he has, he has been providing tours in New Delhi for more than a decade and knows all the best and safe spots for tourists!
Response from the operator: Dear Victor, Thank you so much for your incredible and heartfelt review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful experience exploring Old Delhi with Vijay. It's lovely to know that his knowledge of Indian food, local culture, and hidden gems made your journey both enjoyable and memorable. Your kind words about Vijay's friendliness and dedication truly mean a lot to us. We're especially happy that he could assist you with your train booking to Agra and make your travels easier. Thank you for recognising his years of experience and for recommending our tours to other travellers. We believe the best travel experiences create not only beautiful memories but also genuine friendships. We hope to welcome you back to India for another unforgettable adventure! Warm regards, Manisha Manager – Travel with Locals India

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sanjay Colony Slum Tour with Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Sanjay Colony Slum Tour with Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at ₹1,250 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 with Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 with Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 240 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 with Local Guide?
+
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 with Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sanjay Colony Slum Tour with Local Guide?
+
Around 84 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sanjay Colony Slum Tour with Local Guide 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 with Local Guide?
+
Included: Bottled water. Not included: Tip. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Sanjay Colony Slum Tour with Local Guide include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around New Delhi. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Sanjay Colony Slum Tour with Local Guide 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 with Local Guide?
+
