Viru was great! Thorough, informative and happy to go at our pace. He really new his history and made it all come alive. We booked another trip with him privately to see the Amer fort, which we would also recommend
Very nice and interesting walking tour in Jaipur. Our guide was very nice, professional and friendly. He was also ready to adapt to our 8 years old kid. Many thanks!

We had a great walking tour in the pink city. Our tour guide took us to places where we would be able to find on our own. The highlights of the tour were a Hindu temple; a kitchen, providing the food for a restaurant nearby; and visiting the a street with marble workshops. All amazing experience in few hours! Highly recommend this tour operator!

I had an amazing experience. Tour guide Viru was kind and knowledgeable. We explored the vibrant Flower Market, Marble street and some beautiful old havelis that made me feel like i was stepping back in time. I got to sample authentic local delicacies that i would never have tried on my own. This tour is highly recommended!
Our tour guide Viru was amazing! It was very nice to meet him and he is very knowledgeable about his home city. Viru gave us a great tour of Hawa Mahal and showed us all through the local markets. He explained the praying rituals of all the temples and guided us through the Hawa Mahal museum. Viru also treated us to some very tasty Indian food. We also went to the Palace in water which was beautiful and we were introduced to a palm reading which was very interesting! Our tour was supposed to last 3 hours but it was so good that we ended up spending the whole day with Viru! Thank you again, from Emer and Nic!

Viru was our guide. It was incredible. We saw areas of Jaipur that we would not have seen otherwise. We walked in the old city. We saw the areas where people of different professions work - blacksmiths, marble carving, local food stalls, bangle artists and many more. Wonderful tour. Highly recommended.

It’s wonderful that you were able to explore the vibrant old city and discover the unique crafts and local culture. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Raju, our wonderful guide, opened the doors to history for us. Thanks to him, we discovered the city of Jaipur, its customs, its old cinema and its delicious lassi... Under his aegis, we stormed the cult Amber Fort. Our first visit was only supposed to last 3 hours... in the end, we wandered for almost 7 hours in the streets and mazes of the city! Raju fervently told us the story of the kings and their followers. We were able to go back in time and see the processions of maharajas come to life before our eyes! We have adored ! We 1000% recommend Raju’s services!

We had the most excellent guide named Abdul!! He was like a walking Google. He knows everything and will cater to your wishlist. We’ve traveled all over the world for my husband being a Journalist and me bring an International Flight Attendant, and he was one of the best we’ve ever met! Congrats for having him as your asset!
