This was a fantastic way to see the sites of Jaipur. Our guide was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and informative. He did a great job of sharing local history and answering all of our questions!
We had a great time touring Jaipur with Sameer over a couple of days. He tailored the itinerary to suit the time we had and was very flexible, taking us to the main sights such as Amber Fort and, at our request, an elephant sanctuary. He chose a restaurant for lunch that suited our tastes, waited patiently while we explored, and never rushed us. Sameer was a careful driver, very knowledgeable, and warned us about potential scams. He was also great fun to be with, and by the end of the trip felt more like a friend than a tour guide.
We had a fantastic day exploring Jaipur with Samir. He was very knowledgeable and his English is excellent. The service we received was exceptional and he allowed us all the time we wanted to explore the sites we’d chosen to visit without any pressure at all, advising us on routes around sites, what not to miss and how to avoid any scams. His car was clean and very comfortable, and he’s an excellent driver. No horn beeping at all!
A very complete tour, the guide got us an incantatory of Serpentines, and but accessible in the changes.
We had a great day out with Sameer touring around Jaipur for the day visiting the Monkey Temple, Amber Fort and Jaigarh Fort. Sameers's car was very comfortable and super clean and he was the perfect guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of great information about the area and the places we were visiting. He was very flexible with the timing of our tour and even recommended a great value family restaurant with very tasty local food.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and he and the driver were both very friendly. I appreciated that while at each site, we were not rushed and were allowed to set our own pace. My one complaint/thing I regret is not reviewing the itinerary with the guide and driver at the beginning of the day. We had asked for jewel store recommendations to visit the next day, but instead of giving us names of places to see on our own, we were taken to a jeweler and then to a textile place where the owners were extremely pushy in selling clothing, blankets, and carpets. It felt really scammy and probably was. Afterwards, we were told it was too late to go to Jaigarh Fort and/or Nahargarh Fort. Had we known about the timing, we would not have gotten out of the car when taken to the jeweler and textile shops and insisted on seeing the forts instead. All that to say, it was a really good tour until it wasn’t… and I felt we didn’t get to see all that we paid for. But if you set expectations at the beginning, then you likely won’t be disappointed!
I had an amazing experience on the Jaipur Full-Day Tour, which included the spectacular Jaigarh Fort and the breathtaking Nahargarh Sunset Views. The tour was well-organized and gave a perfect blend of history, culture, and stunning views. I especially want to recommend Saleem as the tour guide. He is hands down the best guide I've had in India so far. Saleem’s deep knowledge of the sites and his engaging storytelling made the tour both informative and enjoyable. He was very kind, approachable, and provided excellent recommendations for both sightseeing and local food. The Jaigarh Fort was awe-inspiring, offering a fascinating glimpse into India’s rich history and architecture. Then, the Nahargarh Sunset Views were absolutely mesmerizing. Watching the sun set over the city was the perfect end to a wonderful day. Overall, the trip was fantastic, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jaipur. It’s a must-do for history lovers and anyone wanting to experience the beauty of this incredible city. Thank you, Saleem, for making this such a memorable experience!
If you’re looking for a guide in Jaipur who goes beyond the usual touristy spots and truly brings the city’s history to life, Sameer is the one. From the moment we met, his warmth and deep knowledge of Jaipur’s culture, architecture, and hidden gems stood out. He didn’t just recite facts—he told stories that made every palace, fort, and market feel alive. Highly recommended if you want an authentic and insightful Jaipur experience!
Naseeb was a brilliant guide, funny, relaxed & flexible he helped plan the day around our requests, turning it into a great tour of some of Jaipur’s amazing highlights with plenty of time to enjoy each visit. A mine of information about Jaipur he definitely made our visit special and packed with memories! We chose to visit Hawa Mahal, Amber fort, Stepwell, Jah Mahal, a textiles workshop & City Palace, all stops were great!
Sameer is an excellent driver and guide. I have booked several tours and transports with him and everything is always excellent. I recommend it completely.
