A Day of Discovery!

I booked the half day tour just the day before I arrived to Jaipur, which was extremely easy and stress free. The next morning, my guide (Indra) and driver (Nordeen) were at my hotel shortly before the scheduled time. They were both extremely professional, courteous and helpful throughout the entire trip. We visited all of the locations outlined in the itinerary. Indra was very knowledgeable, providing insights I could never have gleaned had I gone without a guide. He even managed to take some great photos and videos of me, since I was solo. Nordeen was so polite and respectful, always opening my door and making sure I was comfortable. I felt safe and was relaxed for the entire trip. I would definitely recommend them both, and would happily go on another trip with them. It was a fantastic introduction to Jaipur, a city that has captured my heart!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you had a smooth experience and enjoyed Jaipur with Indra and Nordeen. Your recommendation means a lot to us—hope to welcome you again soon! 😊

Indra and Vinod were...

Indra and Vinod were fantastic! Indra provided a very detailed tour and provided very insightful information on the history of Jaipur, facts about the gems and the artistic dyes and paints, and he knew all about the history of the palaces and fort! Vinod was also an amazing driver. The two made the whole day an incredible experience!

Great Guide and Driver for our tour and shopping

We booked the half day tour, great experience. Our guide Indra Pratap and driver Vinod we're already waiting at the hotel at the appointed time and off we went. We saw everything as described - Hawa Mahal, Amer Fort. Stepwell, Jal Mahal and also a temple in the vicinity. He gave us an option to see a local jeweller, which we accepted and had a really pleasant shopping experience - family run business with no hard selling, really patient and helpful with immediate adjustments to a bracelet. Later. I asked to go and buy local textiles, since Jaipur is famous for it and we had a great time at the store. They waited the whole time (we took a long time) and were so cheerful and patient. Thank you so much!! (Oh we also had lunch, which was nice - simple buffet, drinks are not part of the price).

Operator response

Great experience!

It was such an easy way to get a tour. I booked one day in advance as I was working I did not if I would be available. I received straight away the confirmation. I took a full package with hotel pick up and drop off. Tickets included. The driver ( Vinod Ji) and the guide were awesome. Very pleasant and smiling. The guide gave me so many details he was great. (I am afraid to write his name wrong) I also enjoyed the freedom the guide gave me in my choices. He personnalized the experiences according to my wishes and was a great advice on a sourcing I was looking for. Overall it was a wonderful day! One to remember.

Very nice guided tour of Amber Fort by experienced guide. Unfortunately, a taxi from Viator had to be booked in. Cost 3000 rupees A sales trip to a fabric printing company could not be avoided. Tour duration just under 3 hours
