Knowledgeable Guide & great spots - In this tour we got to see the highlight spots of Udaipur, including the huge City Palace, with great explanations from our guide. We got to spend as much time as we wanted at each stop and the guide was always willing to cater tonour wishes and additional questions. The pickup frol the hotel worked very well. Another positive was that the guide didn't try to lure us into any shops.

Great activity to see the highlights - We had a wonderful afternoon in Udaipur, taking a boat trip on the lake and an informative visit to the city palace with our super-motivated guide, Vikram. Highly recommended! No waiting, plenty of explanations, and opportunities to ask questions. Fantastic!

Udaipur in half a day - The tour covered key places in half a day however I did not think it was value for money. One car took us to the sights and a different car brought us back. The rest we did on foot.

Over priced tour IMO - I was asked to write a review by the tour operator. I went for the option of a half day tour around Udaipur. The spots we visited were beautiful. The tour operator very kindly agreed to add 2 extra spots which weren’t included on the original itinerary which I did appreciate. However, I have to be honest and say it wasn’t worth the money I spent on it. It was the priciest of all my tours in Rajasthan but the least enjoyable and the shortest. My main issue was that there was no car provided which I assumed when booking the tour, considering the price. I did go back and read the tour description and they don’t explicitly mention a car, just private transport which turned out to be tuk tuks & golf carts at times. This was a misunderstanding and to be fair driving a car in Udaipur’s old city does not seem to be the most sensible option. However I wouldn’t have booked this tour had I known there was not going to be a car just to clarify for anyone who may assume the same before booking. The tour guide himself was nice enough and told me a bit about the places we visited. I had an upset tummy and he waited patiently for me as I was running about 20 minutes late in the morning. But overall, I’ve had much better experiences with other guides. When we got to the City Palace, he immediately directed me to the shops at the entrance, barely any information about the palace itself. I’m assuming this was because he would get a commission from anything I bought and don’t me wrong, I’m very used to this tour guide trick in India but to do it right at the start before I’d even had a chance to look at the palace left a bad taste in my mouth. My other issue is that I felt a bit rushed looking inside the palace. I often just wandered around on my own, moving away from him, taking photos and reading the information as a lot of the time, he would just try and move me quickly through the rooms. As I am travelling alone, previous guides have been very generous offering to take photos of me however this guide offered to take a very minimal number (maybe 2 or 3 during the whole 5 hour tour). I asked him to take photos of me in places I really wanted to but I was apprehensive asking him as he didn’t offer this himself. I’m not someone who takes a lot of photos of themselves at all but I would have expected him to at least offer as has been my experience with other tour guides. I think I would have had a better experience if I had just gone myself and taken the time I needed to appreciate the beauty of the palace, As I mentioned, they added 2 extra stops on the tour but I was told by the guide that one of the options on the original itinerary; Bagore ki haveli wasn’t worth visiting and wasn’t really given an option of going. By then I was very tired and the heat was getting to me so I didn’t challenge this. To be honest I was happy to visit myself without him where I could take my own time but I felt I was pushed into a corner and wasn’t given an option of going despite this being on the initial itinerary. This tour might be suitable for you if you’re in a hurry and are not bothered about not having an car but otherwise I can’t whole heartedly recommend this tour if you want to see the beautiful sites of Udaipur.
