Walking Tour absolutely to do - Excellent tour. It's a Must-Do if you are in Jodphur. Walking through the alleys and small blue buildings of the old city reliving its history is a special experience. Prabhat is a perfect guide, he was born and raised in the old city and knows every corner of it, he has added a million details and little anecdotes and can give you useful advice on practically everything. Try the best samosa in all of Jodhpur, it's absolutely worth it. Super Recommended!

Great tour of the blue city - Our guide was well presented and very knowledgeable. Communicated alot of I nformation very clearly with many facts and answers to questions we asked. The views from the hill above the blue city we're worth the short uphill walk. We had good recommendations for food and places to visit after the tour also. Would highly recommend!

Different type of Indian tour.. Highly recommended! - Highly recommended tour! We had very short time in jodhpur and our guide Prabhat was able to show us not only the history but also the soul of this city. While we were walking all the people were kind and started to have fun with Prabhat and with us. We also climbed a hill up to the fort to have a view of all the blue city. Amazing experience.

Great tour with a great tour guide - Bantu is a great tour guide. I booked the tour at very short notice and he contacted me immediately. Communication went great and he picked me up at my hotel on time. The tour of the blue city was great. Bantu was able to tell me a lot about the city and its history and answered all of my questions. The tour was entertaining, super informative and offered a great insight into life in the city. I would recommend everyone to take this tour.

Walking Tour - March 2024 - Me and my friend really enjoyed this tour. There was just us so we were able to ask lots of questions and learnt so much about Jodhpur and India more generally. Our guide is was studying a masters in Indian history so we were definitely in good hands! We also got to try some local snacks and have some chai along the way so we’re kept refreshed throughout. I was recovering from being sick so had to take regular breaks which our guide was very happy to accommodate. Otherwise, the tour was very manageable and is is not taxing at all for anyone of average fitness. I would definitely recommend this tour if you’re in Jodhpur, you’ll learn so much and if you do it at the start of your stay it’ll help you get more out of your visit to the city.

Nice experience with Harday! - We booked the tour with Harday and we loved it! He was so polite and friendly and made us feel welcome to ask anything we wanted to know. He has a huge knowledge of the history of Jodhpur and told us interesting facts that we hadn't heard before. So if you want to know the real reason why the houses are painted blue, book the tour with Harday ☺️ And he didn't take us to any shops where you have to buy things, which was a big plus. But he did give us some really good recommendations. We really enjoyed it. Thank you for your time, Harday :)
