Outstanding!!! Loved it. - 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!

Fantastic walking tour with Viru - We had a wonderful walking tour with Viru today. He was super informative (and answered our many, many questions) and we learned so much about Jaipur, Rajasthan and Indian foods and culture more generally. One of the best walking tours we've been on. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Jaipur.

Amazing walking tour!!! - What an experience!!! The guide Raju was very knowledgeable and explain the history, culture of Jaipur very well. I got to see all the local secret places and experience some delicious local delicacy. I'm so glad I decided to take the walking tour because I saw so many things that tourists won't see unless you know someone from Jaipur. Thank you Raju😊 가이드가 구석구석 동네사람들만 아는 데로 구경시켜줘서 자이푸르 사람들이 어떻게 사는지 볼 수 있었어요. 힌두사원에서 세리머니도 보고 대리석거리, 보석거리, 드레스거리 등 지역 전통비즈니스들도 볼 수 있고요. 강력 추천합니다!

Amazing Walking Tour - Thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour this morning. We saw so many things tucked away in the back streets that we could have never seen by ourselves. Our guide, Viru, was interesting and informative and always made sure that we were safe and comfortable. The walk far exceeded our expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Funny and interesting tours - I was lucky enough to have Raju as a tour guide two times. First time we were in Jaipur for a city tour and a food tasting evening. He was on-time, very polite and very knowledgeable about the temples and places we visited. Later we tasted a lot of different local food, so much that I could even not finish them. The second tour with Raju was in company of my son in Amber - we visited small, old, hidden temples in the old city - he told a lot about local history, religion, legends, etc. On the end we could taste the beautiful meal of his Mom. If you have the opportunity to eat in his house, DO IT :) It was really delicious!

Raju was amazing - I had a great time with Raju walking around Jaipur. The fort was amazing! The Hall of Mirrors was brilliant! Also, the lunch I had with a local family in their own home was great! They were very warm and welcoming to me. Raju was great to answer all of my questions.

Interesting tour to places we would never had seen - Raju met us in the location and time as planned. We walked around The outside of the palace and went into the temple to see the worship of Krishna - that was really interesting with singing and prayers. We then got a tuk tuk to the east gate and walked through the fruit and veg market and the flower market. That was really interesting and Raju gave us lots of information about things. Then we walked through all the different areas - marble carvers, spice market , sari sellers , jewellers etc. It seemed almost Moroccan in the little alleyways. We stopped for masala chai and went into the mustard oil press and a food producers - then to sample some of the breakfast snacks and some of the white sweet almost dessert. Despite our hesitation about eating things from the streets , Raju reassured us these were the best clean and safe places to - and 24 hrs on , we are both fine ! Raju was helpful and chatty for most of the trip but was on the phone for the last hour so our information dried up then - I know he had a problem he was trying to sort so we didn’t mind , but I would have liked the flow of information to carry on. So an interesting and entertaining tour , going to alleyways I would never have dared go to on my own, and I think I would have given it a more rave hreview if it hadn’t been for the time Raju spend on the phone. Thank you.
