A really unique experience - Both the driver and the guide where really helpful and good in their field of expertise. The hawalies are really beautiful in their own unique way that i did not find Jaipur. Can be at bit same same after 7 hours, but a really nice activity if you have the time ( from Jaipur one way is almost 3 hours) and like architecture i can strongly recommend. Note that "the guide is not included" as i was told and cost around 2500/3000 rupees. And for access to most of the hawalies is round about 800 rupees

Not worth the drive and cost - Our driver was very good, arrived on time, but that all I can say was good. I booked for 2 people and our driver had a message it was for one person, we had to take a photo of our booking and send it on to the owner. We should have known things would go downhill from there. The guides were picked up locally, had a good knowledge of their product. Lunch, that a laugh, nothing had been pre arranged, so we ended up in an Indian roadside cafe, with a very limited menu (first cafe was really bad) I would not recommend this day trip, see better frescoes in palaces in any of the major cities.
