Aditya was excellent, they have a nice program offering something different, not just a random tourism guide but really feeling a proper care, well educated, good English and very good cultural experience. We felt cared and we ended up booking the day after the Amer walking tour which was also excellent. I will certainly keep Adi’s contact details and share with those coming here. Warmly recommended

The guide was so knowledgeable and friendly! He was a PhD student and could answer all of out questions! It was the perfect amount of time and the guide asked us as well what subjects interested us the most so he could tailor it for us. I would really recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Jaipur! It succeeded any expectations i had!
I did the 8.30 walk and was the only guest, so it became a private tour. Clear tour of all the highlights with a guide who could convey his extensive knowledge. Highly recommended!
