Jodhpur Photography Tour

Walk was very informative provided by a guide who knew the history explicitly. However, since the walk was entitled. “Jodhpur Photography Tour”, I expected it to be the hidden photography gems of Jodhpur? It was more like a historical tour of the Fort. Interesting enough but again not what I expected. Maybe a suggestion for the tour that the name be more related to the title. Thank you. Otherwise, pleasant enough.

I had a wonderful time with Rishi. He guided me through the blue city and to the fort, as well as to other places I wanted to go (like a nice furniture store for old pieces and to a Ayurvedic pharmacy). He showed me nice photo sports. It was very hot this day, so he also gave more relax opportunities and took care. At the end he brought me back to my hotel. I von recommend you this tour to get a great overview on Jodhpur.

We booked the tour very last minute but our request was not only honoured immediately but also a very experienced guide Mr. Rakesh J K was assigned to us. We enjoyed Rakesh ji's company while walking through the colour alleys of the old city. Rakesh ji also treated us with some of the local delectables. Mawa gulab jamun that we had was really the best ever. They did not rush and allowed us enough time for pictures. We felt the tour was a bit expensive but as sufficient time was given and an experienced guide it felt worth it. Definitely recommend the tour to anyone who wants a slice of the local Jodhpur life. A very small feedback would be about the title of the tour that we opted for - photography tour. We felt for a photography tour it usually helps for the organiser to also have experience and knowledge about photography in general to focus on streets that in their experience make for great photography.

I took both the Jodphur Photography tour in the morning, and the market walk in the late afternoon. I had planned to go with my husband but he wasn’t feeling well so I went solo. My guide Rakesh was very knowledgeable, polite, calm and mindful of my interests and desired pacing. He provided the right information at the right time and provided interesting insight into both the history and the day to day living - which is my particular interest. I was particularly happy with my visit to the market - I really enjoyed wandering the streets with Rakesh - visiting different craftsmen and vendors - and he helped me find and purchase some items I was looking for - bangles and scarves - in a way that felt non- tourist. Thanks Rakesh!
