Why Choose Us 4

Great Tours

We love India and want you to love it too! We go the extra mile to ensure each tour adds unique value to your journey. Whether sharing insights you won’t find in guidebooks, showing new perspectives, or revealing hidden gems, our tours help you connect, understand, and explore more.

We plan each tour carefully to ensure an enriching, customized experience that truly inspires.

Great Tour Guides

Your guide is key to a memorable tour, so we ensure ours are skilled, friendly, and ready to inspire. While many companies rely on freelance guides in Mumbai and Delhi, we employ full-time guides, most from the communities we support.

They receive ongoing training, ensuring each tour is led with care, knowledge, and enthusiasm, creating an engaging and meaningful experience every time you join us.

Profits Stay in the Community

Through our social impact model, you’re not just seeing places—you’re supporting them! Since day one, our goal has been to dispel negative stereotypes around low-income communities and give back meaningfully.

80% of our tour profits and 100% of merchandise sales go directly to Reality Gives, our sister charity, funding quality educational initiatives that drive positive change within our local communities.

Involvement of the Community

The communities where we work are at the heart of everything we do. Many of our guides, teachers, and staff come from the communities where we work, especially those featured on our slum tours. This approach fosters local job opportunities and supports future local leaders.

We are also regularly in touch with residents to ensure our tours are positive and well-received by both guests and locals alike.

Reliability

India can be unpredictable—but we’re not. We pride ourselves on clear, timely communication, from quick email replies to punctual tour arrivals. Our commitment is simple: we’re here whenever you need us, ensuring a dependable, seamless experience from start to finish.

Whatever the adventure, our goal is to make your journey comfortable, with care and reliability you can count on.

Honesty

We prioritize your best interests, offering advice that genuinely benefits you, even if it doesn’t benefit us. Our guides and drivers will never take you to forced shopping stops; they are fairly compensated and do not rely on tips or commissions.

Everything we do is rooted in honesty and transparency, ensuring you feel respected and valued throughout your journey. Everything we do is with your best interests at heart!

Authenticity

Our goal is to help you truly experience the places you visit. In India, as in any country, there are many aspects to celebrate alongside social challenges that need addressing.

We aim to provide a balanced, honest portrayal of this complex, vibrant country, giving you insights and stories that reveal a fuller picture of India’s rich tapestry and the many layers that define it.

Small Groups

We prioritize small group sizes to be responsible and respectful to the communities we visit, ensuring our presence remains unobtrusive. This approach also allows us to provide guests with the attention they deserve.

Our slum and city tours are limited to six people, while shared tours can include up to ten—ideal for exploring India together. Private tours offer more flexibility in group size but always maintain a personal, quality experience.

Photo Policy

We maintain a strict no-photography policy during our educational slum tours of Dharavi and Sanjay Colony, respecting the privacy and dignity of residents.

On other tours, guests are welcome to take photos, and our guides are happy to help capture your memorable moments. This approach ensures we honour the communities we visit while providing flexibility to capture the rest of your journey.
