My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Private Jaipur Tour. We were in New Delhi for a meeting and had limited time to see sites outside the city -- we booked the Agra tour (separately reviewed on GYG) and the Jaipur tour. A long day trip, but very much worth doing. Overall, very good communication with the tour organizers from early on through the trip's end. Drivers to the train station, upon pickup/throughout Jaipur, and back from station were great, great service, on the spot. The pinnacle was our tour guide, a lifelong local of Jaipur, named Kapil. He is very welcoming, personable and knowledgeable about the history of his city and how it relates to that of India. He is passionate, enthusiastic and energetic about telling the stories -- we were lucky to be paired with him. And, he's a very good photographer with your iPhone. (As with all tours, there is a stop at a shop, which isn't great, wish that would get eliminated). We recommend this tour.

This was honestly better than expected. Normally we travel independently but were didn't fancy driving in India so went with this option. We felt very safe with our driver for 4 days - Rajesh, a gentleman for whom nothing was too much trouble. Guides in each city were experienced and knowledgeable, and we were able to flex the itinerary to suit what we wanted to see. Would strongly recommend.

Bought 2 eSims for travel to India. Was not sure in the first place as never used a eSim & would work in India. It's a big problem getting a sim card in India except at Delhi airport there a sim store, but still have to wait for 2-3 hrs to be actived.

My guide “Raghu” was very informative and knowledgeable , takes photos instagrammable, very organized with our itenerary and he ask what are my expectations for the tour which he met above the standards…

Great tour! So many sites and so much information! Beautiful place!
