Itinerary
the Hawa Mahal, the most famous landmark of Jaipur, the palace of winds built by Sawai Pratap Singh was actually planned for the royal household to have a look at everyday life of the city. The palace has tier upon tier of curved arch surmounting fairy casements with “jali” – latticework screens
The City Palace Complex, located within the walled city, was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, founder of Jaipur. This magnificent palace showcases a blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture and remains the residence of the last ruling royal family who reside in a private section of the complex.
The Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory in Jaipur believed to have been constructed by Sawai Jai Singh II in 1729, is renowned for its precision and accuracy. This magnificent structure stands as a testament to the advancements made in understanding planetary and cosmic movements during the eighteenth century.
Royal Gaitore The royal cenotaphs, just outside the city walls, beneath Nahargarh, are an appropriately restful place to visit and feel remarkably undiscovered. The stone monuments are beautifully and intricately carved. Maharajah Pratap Singh, Madho Singh II and Jai Singh II, among others, are honored here. Jai Singh II has the most impressive marble cenotaph, with a dome supported by 20 carved pillars.
the Jal Mahal, the water palace that is situated in the midst of the beautiful Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur City. Jal Mahal is an exceptional structure of the Rajput culture. The palace and the lake around it were renovated and enlarged in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber. A wonderful five storied building built in red sandstone.
The Amer region, also known as Dhundhar, was once under the control of Meena chiefs from five different tribes. They were subordinate to the Bargurjar Rajput Raja of Deoti. Amer, a former town located in the east-central Rajasthan state of northwestern India, is now part of the bustling Jaipur urban agglomeration. This historic town is renowned for its magnificent Fort, which is one of several Rajput fortresses that were collectively designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2013. The rich cultural and architectural heritage of this region makes it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to explore the grandeur and history of India's past.

Shabbir and his team are absolutely incredible! From day 1 they were hospitable and the food at Marigold was top notch. Had a wonderful time. Absolutely would recommend. - Vishnu
I cannot praise Janu and his team enough! Our group spent 10 days in India traveling from New Delhi to Jaipur and we wanted for nothing. The guides and drivers went out of their way to make sure our trip was flawless. Raj, who was the guide with us the whole time, was amazing and attentive to everyone in the group. We saw forts, temples, mosques, tigers, leopards, took a balloon ride, had a cooking class, handblocking class and so much more. We were there for Holi and the team made it the most incredible experience. I can’t recommend this group enough and have already passed on the information to friends and told them if they use anyone else, they would be missing out!
Dear Teachr5 Wow—thank you for such an incredible review! We are truly grateful for your kind words and are so happy to hear that your 10-day journey through India was such a memorable experience. It means a lot to us that you felt so well taken care of throughout your trip, from New Delhi to Jaipur. We’re especially delighted to hear your praise for Raj—he will be thrilled to know he made such a positive impact on your journey. Our entire team of guides and drivers works hard to create seamless and enriching experiences, so your appreciation truly motivates us. It sounds like you made the most of everything—from exploring forts, temples, and wildlife, to enjoying unique cultural activities like the balloon ride, cooking class, and hand block printing. And we’re so glad that celebrating Holi with us was a highlight of your trip! Your recommendation means the world to us, and we’re incredibly thankful that you’ve already shared your experience with friends. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to India for another unforgettable adventure in the future. Thanks & Regards, Team Janu Private Tours
Had a fantastic day with Imran. He was fun, interesting and always made sure I was happy with the experience. Would highly recommend a trip with Imran to see the city!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am very happy to know you enjoyed your day with Imran. He always strives to ensure our clients have a fun and personalized experience. I will pass your message along to him; he will be very happy! Team Janu Private Tours
We met Janu after booking a few nights at his hotel, and we then decided to join him for several tours — a choice that truly elevated our entire experience in Rajasthan. The journey was impeccably organized, with great attention to detail and genuine care for our comfort. A special mention goes to Naveen, whose kindness and professionalism made every day a pleasure, as well as to all the guides, who were consistently highly prepared, knowledgeable, and reliable. We never felt like ordinary tourists, but rather like welcomed guests. For anyone planning a trip to India, we strongly recommend booking the full trip directly with Janu for a seamless, refined, and trustworthy travel experience.
"Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to extend your stay with us beyond the hotel! It was a true pleasure to have you. We are delighted that you felt more like 'welcomed guests' than tourists—this is exactly the atmosphere we strive to create. We will be sure to pass along your special mention to Naveen and our guiding team; they will be so proud to know their dedication and knowledge made such a positive impact on your Rajasthan journey. There is nothing we enjoy more than seeing a seamless trip come together from start to finish. Thank you for your strong recommendation and for trusting us with your Indian adventure. We can't wait to welcome you back 'home' to Jaipur in the future!" Regards JPT TEam
We spent 2 days with Imran, it was amazing he introduced us to Jaipur and these must-sees. We can only recommend this company. Thank you for all the memories.
Quel magnifique témoignage ! Merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé votre expérience. C'est absolument fantastique d'entendre que vous avez passé deux jours incroyables à Jaipur en compagnie d'Imran. Le fait qu'il vous ait fait découvrir les incontournables de la ville montre qu'il est un guide et un chauffeur exceptionnel. Thanks & Regards Team Janu Private Tours
We spent two superb days with Himran our driver. He was really great, thanks to him we were able to discover a lot of places in Jaipur and good places to eat local or drink a good Lassi. We highly recommend the experience with this company. Everything went very smoothly.
Quel merveilleux retour ! Merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé votre très bonne expérience et votre service avec l'entreprise. C'est fantastique d'apprendre que vous avez passé deux jours merveilleux à Jaipur avec Imran. C'est le genre de pilote qui fait toute la différence ! Le fait qu'il vous ait fait découvrir tant d'endroits, y compris d'excellents endroits pour manger local et déguster un bon Lassi, montre qu'il est vraiment un guide exceptionnel. Votre chaleureuse recommandation est un précieux témoignage de la qualité du service. Thanks & Regards Team Janu Private Tours
Janu and his team have made what already was the trip of a lifetime for me, absolutely incredible. I spent 10 days in India on a trip arranged through ‘Women Who Explore’. This was facilitated by Janu and his team, ensuring that every request was granted, and we were safely transported/accommodated at every juncture. From the moment I was collected from the airport and greeted by one of Janu’s friendly colleagues, I was constantly learning about the culture and felt an immediate sense of belonging, right up until the moment I was safely dropped off at the airport on my final day. Janu even invited us into one of his hotels to freshen up and fuel up before flying home on the final day (with the best ice cream in the whole of India!). Thank you Janu and team for helping me make memories for a lifetime ❤️
Dear Casey, Thank you so much for your heartfelt words—it truly means the world to us! It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your journey through India, and we’re so happy to hear that your experience was not just memorable, but unforgettable. Janu and the entire team are passionate about creating meaningful, immersive travel experiences, and it brings us immense joy to know that you felt safe, welcomed, and connected from the very beginning to the final goodbye. We believe that travel should not only be about seeing new places but also about feeling at home in them—and we're thrilled we could provide that sense of belonging for you. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the visit to our hotel and the (now officially famous!) ice cream on your last day 😊. Thank you again for choosing to explore India with us. You're always welcome back—our doors and hearts are open! Thanks & Regards, Team Janu Private Tours
We were staying in Marigold Inn Homestay and we organised with Imran to drive us around in his Auto. I had researched ahead of time for the places we wanted to see. Imran planned out the best way to do it and it worked out perfectly to avoid the main attractions at their busiest times. He was very efficient as I had a plan to see a lot of places. We had an amazing day and Imran is worth his weight in gold for his knowledge and tips at every place on what to avoid and what things should cost. He even let me drive his tuk tuk. If we had attempted to do this with another driver it would have taken us two days. I can't thank Imran enough for his help with everything during our stay, he knows what tourists want and need. James.
Dear Mr.James St John ! Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review! We’re so glad to hear that your day with Imran went smoothly and efficiently. It’s fantastic that his expert planning allowed you to visit all the places you wanted, while avoiding the crowds. We’re especially happy that his tips and knowledge added value to your experience and helped you make the most out of each stop. It’s great to hear that you had fun driving the tuk tuk too! Imran truly knows how to create a memorable and seamless experience for our guests. We’re happy that he made such a positive impact on your trip. We greatly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you again. Thank you once again for choosing JANU PRIVATE TOURS. Thanks & Regards, Team Janu Private Tours
We are a retired couple on a self planned tour of Rajasthan. Our hotel contacted us and asked if we wanted a transfer from the airport or station. We were picked up from the station platform by Naveer Kumar, with whom we also spent the next 2 days touring In Jaipur, the first day in a vintage Hindustan Motors Ambassador. Naveer has excellent English and is very knowledgeable about the city. We learnt a lot from him, not just about Jaipur, but Indian life in general. We would recommend both the company and specifically Naveer without hesitation.
🚗 Vintage Charm and Excellent Service in Jaipur! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We are delighted to hear that we could assist with your transfer from the station and that you chose to spend your two days touring Jaipur with Naveen Kumar. It's fantastic that you got to enjoy the classic experience of touring in the vintage Hindustan Motors Ambassador! We are incredibly proud of Naveen's excellent English and his deep knowledge, not just of Jaipur, but also of Indian life in general. It's always our goal for our guests to learn and gain a deeper understanding of the culture. We appreciate your kind words and your strong recommendation of both our company and Naveen specifically. We wish you all the best on the your self-planned tour of Rajasthan..!
