Gita giornaliera privata ad Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell da Jaipur

The well is in very good condition. With 13 floors visible above water level in December. But perhaps at another time of the year the water level is higher, but tourists are not allowed on the steps that go down. Only the first floors are accessible.

Abhaneri (both stepwell and the Harshat Mata Temple next to the stepwell) was great and well explained by a local tour guide living there. The monkey temple is ok, even this part of the tour is not guided and the temple is quite dirty and untidy. Mr. Sandeep, the driver, did a great job taking care of me all the time and giving historical details about Jaipur city and useful tips before entering the monkey temple. Great the backoffice organization too.

A very easy trip to Abhaneri with Rakesh as my driver. Chand Baori is very much worth a visit if you are interested in architecture! Rakesh was a very helpful and safe driver.

The driver, Naveen, was very friendly, and on time. We stopped for breakfast on the road and he dropped me off at an ATM between the two destinations because I needed one. Everything went perfectly.

My day trip started just in time with Rakesh picking me up at my hotel. After a quick stop at HSBC agency to withdraw some cash we headed to Abhaneri. What impressed me first was his careful driving - you’ll know what I mean when you visit India. Once in Abhaneri he suggested me to hire a local guide that I declined - the place is so small and you can read about the place in other sources. The stepwell is an impressive intricate construction and it is really in good shape. Immediately across, was the ruins of Harshat Mata, a small temple. On the way back to Jaipur, we’re stopped for chai and snacks. The drive to Monkey Temple took about one hour using an alternative way. That visit was interesting not only for the temple itself but because a group of people were celebrating a ceremony. After an hour I was back to the car. Since it was early, Rakesh suggested me to visit a place to see how rugs and paint print were made. This was disappointing because once the 5 minute tour was finished they took to the store and tryed to push me to by anything - that almost ruined my day trip. Well, Rakesh made it up to me apologizing and promised not to take anyone there again unless they look for souvenirs. This was a great day trip and this honest company will take good care of you, especially if you driver is Rakesh.

Janu Private Tours provided an excellent day of guided exploration. I booked the tour only the day before the scheduled day and this was not a problem. All communication was very prompt and conducted via WhatsApp. My driver and tour guide was Rakesh. He met me promptly at the hotel. His driving was excellent and I felt very safe at all times. Rakesh gave me the choice of hiring a guide or going guide-free for each site, which I liked a lot. Rakesh also accommodated my wish to pick up some wedding clothes at the end of the day - he took me to good retailers and waited while I shopped - this was a great help and above and beyond what was detailed in the itinerary. I would use Rakesh and Janu Private Tours again without hesitation.

The tour was very nice and the driver was exceptionally great. But I had a surprise during the tour: the driver was included, but the guide was not included, so I paid extra to local guides in each monument. Despite of that, it was great experience.

It is a monument that will surprise you and question you for its area, its depth and the incredible number of markets that allowed women to get their water supply in its time. The majestic structure is perfectly preserved and you can walk around it while approaching the edge to admire all the details of its architecture. The work was made on the basis of a gigantic hole dug in the center of the village and built with stairs and sculptures on each side! The result is fantastic. A place that absolutely must be planned between Jaipur and Agra on your stay in Rajastan!!!

Great day thanks to Rakesh: Abhaneri is definitely worth a visit, India is always surprising, each visit is different from previous ones. As I had already seen Galta, the temple of the monkeys, which is also great, Rakesh showed me the royal tombs and Nahargarh. Repeat but great day, thank you Rakesh

I contacted Janu Tours via email before leaving the United States for India to inquire if they would do a same day tour to Abhaneri for a solo female traveler. The owner, Janu, responded immediately and told me not to worry they would love to handle my tour. I did not expect that Janu himself would be my guide! He was absolutely fantastic. During the drive, I sat up front with him and peppered him with questions about Indian life, culture, the sites, you name it (this was my first trip to India). The tour itself was great but was even greater was the personal attention he devoted to making my experience amazing. He showed me places that were off the beaten path that I would never have known even existed. I definitely recommend that you enilist his services if you are in India at any time for any reason. Janu, hope to see you again soon! All the best!
