Itinerary
Amer, also known as Amber, is a historic town located about 11 kilometers from Jaipur. Once the royal residence of Rajput Maharajas, it features a stunning blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture with intricate carvings, ornate palaces, and grand courtyards. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and Maota Lake, immersing themselves in Rajasthan's rich royal heritage.
Jal Mahal, or the "Water Palace," is a scenic 18th-century architectural marvel in the middle of Jaipur's Man Sagar Lake. Blending Mughal and Rajput styles, its top floor rises above the water, offering breathtaking views, especially at sunset. Though not open to the public, it is a favorite for photography and sightseeing.
Royal Gaitor, near Jaipur, is a serene site featuring intricately carved marble cenotaphs of Jaipur's Maharajas. Nestled against the Nahargarh Hills, it offers a tranquil escape and a glimpse into royal history, away from the city's bustling tourist spots.
We will take you to a textile factory where you can experience the art of block printing and learn its techniques firsthand.
Hawa Mahal, also known as the "Palace of Winds," is a stunning pink sandstone structure in Jaipur, built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. Designed in the shape of a crown, it features 953 small windows or "jharokhas" that allow cool breezes to pass through, offering a natural cooling system. The palace was built for the royal women to observe street life and festivals without being seen. Its unique blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture, along with intricate lattice work, makes it one of Jaipur's most iconic landmarks.
The Monkey Temple, or Galtaji Temple, is a historic Hindu pilgrimage site situated about 10 kilometers from Jaipur in the Aravalli Hills. Famous for its natural springs and sacred pools, it draws devotees for holy baths and visitors charmed by the resident monkeys. The temple’s vibrant architecture, serene surroundings, and breathtaking hilltop views make it a captivating destination for both spiritual seekers and nature lovers.

Ali was incredibly kind, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout our time in Jaipur. He took us to the Royal Gaitor, Amber Fort, and the beautiful Amer Stepwell, sharing interesting insights along the way. We had a fantastic experience exploring the city with him and genuinely enjoyed every moment. Ali is a sincere and trustworthy person who made our visit even more memorable. We 100% recommend visiting Jaipur with him as your guide!

Very relaxed tour . Rafiq was very patient and helpful. He was very honest and let us know what the other authorized guides would charge at the attractions so we would be treated fairly. All his recommendations for dining & shopping were perfect with very reasonable local (not tourist) pricing. Please know that this is NOT A/C transport but traveling via rickshaw in Jaipur allowed much faster transit without any parking issues. We highly recommend this tour. -Tourists from Texas

We had an incredible experience touring Jaipur with Jameel. Jameel is a knowledgeable and welcoming guide who is also an expert driver and a true local to the area. It rained throughout the day but Jameel patiently waited for the rain to stop so we could still go outside to take pictures. From the beginning, Jameel told us not to worry about timing and that he would prioritise our experience. He definitely delivered. We booked this trip only a couple of hours before and were not sure what to expect. This tour covers more ground than many of the other half day tours we were looking at and the company is flexible to your preferences. They were responsive and accommodating. If you’re not sure whether to book the tour, just do it. You won’t regret it!
