Amazing guided tour of Jaisalmer - Harish is a fantastic guide. He took us through an excellent walk inside the Jaisalmer Fort pointing out noteworthy sites and providing the right amount of information to make the walk interesting. Harish also knows the best places inside the fort where you can take a short break, use a restroom or sip on a drink while you refresh yourself. He took us to the intricately carved Jain temples, the wonderful havelis as well as Bada Bagh to see the cenotaphs amazingly lit up in the rays of the setting sun. Harish is fluent in English, articulate and knowledgeable and we had a wonderful day exploring Jaisalmer with him. An added benefit with Harish, is that he is an excellent photographer and he took some great snaps capturing the memories from this trip which we would always cherish.

Disappointing Jaisalmer walking tour - Guide did not provide much information during the tour. We passed by other tour groups and could hear other tour guides mentioning interesting facts and trivia. The guide did not come with us inside the temples. Just gave some info outside the temple and gave pointers on what to see inside the temple. The tour did not include the fort museum tour. We had to pay for a museum tour guide the next day. Viator 's tour description is misleading as it does not clearly state whether the museum tour is included or not.
