About
Reality Tours and Travel is a responsible tour operator providing fun and authentic experiences around India. We invest 80% of our profits back into the communities we visit through our NGO Reality Gives. We are especially well known for our educational Dharavi and Sanjay Colony Slum Tours that show visitors the industrial and residential areas of Indian slums. We also offer city, village, multi-day and customized tours. Our tours educate visitors about the issues as well as opportunities in slums and hopes to encourage them to understand underprivileged communities better. We use 80% of the tour profits and 100% of merchandise profits to fund our sister-NGO Reality Gives that runs and supports a variety of programs in Dharavi and Sanjay Colony. Our goal is to provide authentic and though-provoking local experiences through our tours and to use the profits to create change in our communities. Our vision is a world where all tourism promotes cross-cultural understanding and local development. Our NGO, Reality Gives, provides young people in the local community with high quality education and experiences to help them maximize their potential. We do this by focusing on English, Computer and Life Skills classes as well as a series of activities and workshop in expressive art and sport. We run these program out of three community centres around Dharavi and are currently setting up similar projects in Sanjay Colony.

The tour was amazing! The tour guide, Victor, was great! We could try amazing food from different places and experience the Old Delhi with explanations from history and all. I loved it and would totally recommend. If you want to have a real experience with no risk of Delhi belly, go for it!

Great tour. Tour guide Aajay grew up here so all the information he shared with us was from a local perspective. Great information, enjoyable and safe.

Excellent tour and the profits go to an excellent cause. Tavrej is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. You will see commercial areas where fabric is processed and clothing is made, residential areas, and the school that is run from the profits made by Reality Tours. No photos are allowed so the tour felt respectful and not intrusive to people living in the Sanjay Colony, but Reality Tours provides a link to photos you can download.

Eye-opening experience in Delhi. If you want to see a different side of the city, I highly recommend going in this tour. The slum is very safe and the guides are experienced.

Amazing initiative. Love that our tour leader grew up and still lives in this community. What struck me the most was the kids…all happy and clearly much loved. We have much to learn from these people who may not have our financial wealth but have riches in terms of community and family support.

A truly immersive experience, and great introduction to the vibrant life of Old Delhi. Our guide, Sourav, was able to show us a great range of outlets, and to avoid any queuing

Great tour with Kavita. You really need a guide as a first timer to navigate your way through the chaotically wonderful streets of Old Delhi and to know where and what to eat. She was brilliant at all of this. Highly recommend

A very interesting, eye-opening guided tour to a slum coloni in Delhi. Shown around by a local, knowledgeable inhabitant, Dolly, we learned much more about everyday life among poorer segments of Delhi.
Don't miss this offer to get a most unusual experience far beyond an typical tourist sight.

I did both the Delhi and Mumbai street food tours with Kavita Chaudhary and Javed Sheikh and it was a brilliant experience. both Kavita and Javed were wonderfully informed and made the tour 'come alive' for me, explaining the history of the vendors and what's in the food, alongside bonus information about life growing up in Delhi and Mumbai. It was genuinely the best thing I did in my two-week trip to India, and I would recommend everyone to engage with Reality Tours & Travel if they're travelling in India.

This was ont of the very best street food tours we have ever done, and as two ex chefs we have done a lot!
Virat, our guide was excellent-his knowledge was outstanding and his English was excellent.
We visited 10 establishments and learnt about the food of Delhi- from snacks to celebration food and everything in between!
I would heartily recommend this tour-we really felt we learnt so very much
