Delhi Slum Tour with VJ – Beyond the Surface - Joining VJ’s slum tour in Delhi is not just a visit – it’s a powerful, eye-opening experience. VJ welcomes you into his colony and his family with such warmth and pride that you instantly feel part of his world. Through his eyes, you see resilience, dignity, and everyday life beyond the clichés. His passion, the sparkle in his eyes, and the way he shares his community make this tour unforgettable. It’s not about poverty, but about strength, humanity, and connection. Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to return home having discovered a deeper, truer side of India – thanks to VJ, an extraordinary guide and storyteller.

Discovering the Sanjay Colony - Very interesting and engaging tour to discover the colony of Sanjay. Our guide was very good both in explaining and in making us "live" the local community, who welcomed us with a smile. The tour allowed me to understand the real conditions of life and daily activities of these people, highlighting the sense of community, Welcoming and serenity of a neighborhood often considered dangerous.

A strong but great experience to live - I recently had the opportunity to take part in a slum tour guided by Vijay, and it was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my travels. From the very first moment, I was struck by the powerful contrasts that define daily life here: the narrow alleys filled with children’s laughter, the strong scent of spices and street food mingling with less pleasant odors, and the sight of vibrant colors painted against the backdrop of extreme poverty. Walking through the community, I was overwhelmed by images that will stay with me forever: families living in tiny, improvised homes, but also people working with extraordinary skill and determination, turning limited resources into something meaningful. The resilience and dignity of the residents left a deep impression on me. What made this experience truly special was our guide, Vijay. His knowledge, sensitivity, and respect for the people we met helped us understand the slum beyond stereotypes. He explained the economic challenges, the social fabric, and above all, the human strength behind every story. He was not only informative but also deeply empathetic, which made the tour feel authentic rather than voyeuristic. This tour was not easy emotionally, it forces you to confront harsh realities but it was incredibly valuable. Thanks to Vijay
