The Walk ! :-) - We booked a walking through Bantu and his team. Prabhat was our guide, a dude born and brought up in the blue city. He has amazing story telling skills and good connections in the Blue City. We loved the walk with him and at the end it started raining heavily :) and we had to settle into a local house for an hour or 2 where Prabhat shared more stories.
The walk is worth it , go with an open mind, wear good shoes and just take it all in.

Get into the real Jodhpur - I booked this tour at short notice (the night before) and was immediately contacted by Bantu to confirm. He arrived exactly at the time arranged and was extremely accomodating, knowledgeable and speaks great English.
I really enjoyed the time we spent together and I learned a lot about the history of the city, which gives my overall experience here some context.
Highly recommended.
Thank you Bantu - you are a gentleman! 🙏🏻

Eine wunderbare Stadt.... - Yesterday I was able to experience a great tour of the old town in Jodhpur. I was very lucky with my guide, Prabhat. He has a great deal of detailed knowledge of the city's history, architecture and the various religions represented. Starting from the bell tower, we wandered through the narrow, blue alleys and I was given an insight into places that I would certainly not have found on my own. A big plus point is, in addition to his calm manner, his excellent English and the fact that he also gives an insight into his life and his character. All in all, a great tour. And be sure to ask for Prabhat when booking! Great!

Brilliant walking tour of Jodhpur - A highly recommended walking tour of Jodhpur! Bantu was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about his city, enthusiastic to share it with us and kind. At his suggestion we did a sunset tour and were taken to many beautiful and unknown locations we would never have found ourselves. He helped us try delicious street food, pointed out his favourite shops and restaurants and made an excellent dinner recommendation. The whole experience was an absolute highlight of our trip in India.

Highly recommended! - Bantu is a really good guide through the blue city of Jodhpur. He speaks very good English so it is easy to follow him. He explains a lot along the way, questions of all kinds can be asked at any time and he answers them all, so I am very satisfied with a lot of new knowledge to have booked this tour.
He helped me to find a spice stand at the end of the round and organized a tuktuk for my next program item. This made the walk an all-round successful and relaxed experience.
Thank you Bantu!!!

Wonderful, must-do walking tour on your visit to Jodhpur - I cannot recommend this tour and its guide (Bantu) highly enough.
When you arrive in Jodhpur, you might find it a bit overwhelming. The area around the clock tower is a fairly manic market, and if you're a foreign tourist you might find it somewhat full on.
This is why Bantu's tour is SO worth it. He takes you all around the city, and most importantly to the other side of the fort where the Brahmpuri settled in the 15th century. There you'll find a thoroughly beautiful and far quieter colony, and Bantu will happily talk you through the history while pointing out all the little details and interesting facts as you walk.
You'll also walk away with so many more fantastic photos than you would have otherwise.
Finally, Bantu will happily take you to try some fantastic street food if that's your thing. And he also runs an entirely separate food tour, so well worth getting in touch with him if that's something you'd prefer to do.
All in all, it's a ten out of ten from us.
