Arrived at meeting spot to be greeted by our guide. Tasted a range of lovely food and to hear about local stories of the area. Our guide was a local boy so was warmly greeted by all shop keepers. We even went inside a local VIP house who lived in one of the largest houses in Jaipur. He proudly showed us his royal family photo and showed us his old Austin car felt very privileged. Was nice to hear about the guides photography career and his nephews sporting career. Felt very welcomed and helped us find our bearings around Jaipur on our first night.

Vivekananda is a wonderful and passionate guide. Every item of food came with a story and was amazing. Loved the cultural insights that were provided. If your only going to do one tour in Jaipur, then this is the one you must do.
Great tour, Vivek was an amazing guide and took great care of me. Recommended for English speaking travellers keen to stroll the bazaars and eat delicious food in a safe pair of hands.
I loved the tour. Vivek was a really great guide and such an interesting person. I really felt like I got an insight into life in Jaipur and ate some really delicious street food. I would recommend to anyone, but especially solo travelers that would like to socialise and try local food but aren’t sure where to go. Thanks Vivek! :)
We had such a great time in Jaipur with Vivek. He was fun, warm, and incredibly easy to be around, and he knows a lot, not just about Jaipur but about the world, which made every conversation interesting. He really went the extra mile, helping us buy clothes at a local tailor and taking us to amazing street food spots we would never have found ourselves. We truly enjoyed our time with him and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a personal and memorable experience in Jaipur.
Took a stroll around the town with Vivek checking out the various foods available. All very tasty and most important well cooked and no side effects. One of the best things we have done in India. Great local knowledge and a fun guy to spend time with. Checked out some of the craftsmen too.
That was an amazing experience! Thanks to Vivek, the city opened itself from many good sides! Can only recommend and hope to visit Jaipur again with Vivek's guidance.
Fantastic trip with Vivek. Great local food and he knew everyone in town. Got to see the places we would never have found to eat. Very tasty and interesting. Great tour and highlight of the stay in Jaipur.
Vivek took us through many streets we would not have come to by ourselves. Throughout the whole tour he told us stories and history of Jaipur, as well as the culture and the different industries in the many streets. We stopped in multiple places for a snack and everything was delicious and traditional. We 100% recommend that you book Vivek, you will certainly have a great time and leave with several tips or Jaipur!
Vivek was an amazing guide around Jaipur. We walked for hours just exploring the streets, chatting and of course eating along the way. Vivek is very knowledgeable, makes you feel comfortable and is open to how you want the tour to go! Highly recommend.
Vivek was a wonderful host. He was full of facts and information abut the City, traditions, and inhabitants. Unfortunately, I was recovering from food poisoning so was unable to partake in the food tasting but my husband thoroughly enjoyed the 10 different snacks, sweets and food items that we stopped to eat along the way. It was part walking and Tuk Tuk. We agreed as a group to go and see the block printing and Vivek introduced us to a man who ran a family block printing factory and showroom. They told us about their craft and we watched them work and then they showed us to the showroom. There was one thing that I wanted to buy in Jaipur and it was bedding/throws as souvenirs/gifts and I bought a few plus they made me a dress in 6 hours and delivered it all to the hotel, excellent service. Highly recommend!
Walked with Vivek on a relatively quiet Sunday. Very knowledge on the history of the area. Tasted some interesting things along the way. Good time to take this tour before Jaipur old city gets busy. Was very pleased so that i extended my tour to visit the city palace and the observatory and also planned two additional trips with him.
The most amazing walking food tour through Jaipur. We tried such an assortment of traditional delicious street food. It was very reassuring to know we would not get sick as we went to all the best stalls. Vivek was so knowledgeable about the history and the food. My friend could not eat gluten and he was so accomodating to make sure she ate delicious not gluten food. Vivek was charming, incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about sharing with us his knowledge. I loved it.
Amazing tour. Took me places I never would have imagined going, even after having spent time in Jaipur. Felt very safe and comfortable as solo female traveller. Would highly recommend.
You get to see live craft making and enjoy real local food. We enjoyed the tour and would love to do it again!
Viveks walking food tour through Jaipur is amazing. It was lovely to meet local tradesmen, understand more about thr history of the old city and try some delicious food! Definitely felt more confident trying the food with an experienced local and also walking through less touristy back roads. Thank you Vivek! 5 *
Beautiful city, and great fun with Vivek. Such a sincere, discrete, funny and knowledgeable guide. Absolutely recommended!
We had such an amazing time as a group of 6! Vivek is a super fun guide and extremely knowledgeable. He showed us so many delicious food spots (I'm still thinking about the samosas), and he also made sure that we found something for the taste of everyone in our group.
I had a fantastic four today, great food, lots of information about the history of the old City from my guide Vivek. Wandered about inside the walled City seeing many beautiful old houses and temples as well as the major sites like City Palace and Palace of the winds. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting an authentic introduction to the city and it's wonderful food.
Very good and informative tour. You get to see and taste authentic Jaipur. 100% recommend
Vivek was a fantastic guide - amazing food and amazing insight into life in Jaipur which we would never have seen otherwise!
This tour was incredible! Vivek took us all around the markets, and we got the chance to try about 15 different food items at maybe six separate stops, which is much more than we expected, and we are quite full by the end! All along the route, he made a point to stop and share history of nearby architecture, cultural information, and also introduce us to various artisans and craftsman at work in the area. Highly recommend this tour and guide! Definitely a highlight of our visit to Jaipur!
Vivek is an amazing guide. He is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. He made everyone on the tour feel right at home and picked great places to stop at. He gave plenty of extra insider tips to help us maximize our stay too
An authentic street food tour in Jaipur, showcasing the city’s most vibrant flavours and countless hidden gems tucked away in its bustling streets and alleys.
Vivek did an amazing job showing us around Jaipur. So much food included surpassed our expectations. Fantastic knowledge of Jaipur and just a delight to spend time with
Vivek did an awesome job showing us Jaipor, he was a true gentlemen and showed us so much local food and culture, I would 100% do another tour with him and he even showed us an amazing spot for a drink after.
Outstanding walking culture and food tour through the streets of Jaipur. All the best spots and very interesting facts. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Enjoyed it so much - we decided to book another tour the next day!
★★★★★ Fantastic tour! We learned so much about the city’s history and local food while trying loads of delicious dishes. The guide was friendly and fun, and we finished completely full and happy. Highly recommend!
Vivek was an awesome, laid-back guide with loads of interesting insights. The walking tour was great, he took us to loads of hidden gems we’d never have found on our own, shared cool bits of the city’s history, and showed us the best local food spots. Highly recommend!
Vivek was an amazing guide, showing us all the hidden gems of Jaipur. A really lovely way to learn more about the city and taste some of the amazing food it has to offer. Vivek was happy to give us suggestions on places to eat and shop during the rest of our stay and made us feel very at easy in a busy city. Would highly recommend his tour!
I had an amazing three days with Vivek enjoying the people, tastes, sights and sounds of Jaipur. He customized my private tour to enjoy a little bit of everything - temples, markets, shopping, photography and had insights about each that made my experience unique. I would highly recommend him and his company for your trip to Jaipur and surrounding area!
Awesome!!!!! Vivek was a blessing! We personally found Jaipur so overwhelming to navigate and explore on our own, Vivek completely put us all at ease, we got to experience the real beauty of Jaipur… from back alleys, to playing cricket with a family to experiencing the best food and views on offer. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Jaipur!!!!
Thank You Vivek! We had been in Jaipur for 2 days and were overwhelmed, so we decided to book this tour hoping to see what we had been missing. This tour is perfect for westerners travelling to Jaipur, you can see the artisans working on their craft, walk through laneways you would never find on your own and of course taste the street food which is a real highlight! We can say that this tour showed us the real beauty of Jaipur!
Vivek our guide was great. Very knowledgeable, fun, not rushed and spoke English very well. He was punctual as well. We had a terrific time.
This was one of the best walking tours we've ever had, anywhere. Vivek is wonderful. Relaxed and easy going. We walked through calm and often shady back streets where artisans work, families live and shops operate. He shared details about the culture and history. We tasted great food - sweet and savory. He helped us buy spices from a spice shop to take home with us. Great company - we were sad to part ways! I wish we could travel all of India with him :) Thank you, Vivek!
Vivek was a fantastic tour guide! The sites were amazing and the food was some of the best we’ve had in India! 100% must do activity if you’re in India
This walking food tour was an absolute delight! Our guide—funny, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable—made every stop an experience, weaving history and humor into each step. Beyond the food, it was the warmth and engaging storytelling that made the tour truly special. If you're in Jaipur and want to savour its flavours while learning its secrets, this is an experience you won’t regret!
Vivek led an amazing tour for the two of us on our first day in Jaipur which was a great way to get our bearings of the city. The food he shared with us was amongst the best we’ve had in our time in India and a great way to safely try street food. He also gave superb recommendations for the rest of our time in the city and catered the tour to our interests. 10/10
Our tour with Vivek was such a fun and memorable experience! It felt like we were hanging out with a friend who couldn’t wait to show us all the best local spots. Vivek knows the city inside and out — and it shows. He introduced us to an amazing variety of small snacks and street food, all while sharing his knowledge of Jaipur. It was lovely to see how many people he knows personally — vendors, artisans, and shop owners. You can really feel how proud he is to share his home with travellers. We loved every minute!
This tour was so so fantastic on every level. Vivek was very knowledgeable with the history of the old city but he was also very funny which made the tour interesting yet fun. The food was exceptional at every stop we made. This tour is most highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.
Vivek was a fantastic guide - friendly, funny, and full of local knowledge. His sense of humour and contagious laugh made the street food tour feel relaxed and fun, and he knew all the best spots that we’d never have found on our own. We had such a good time that we booked him again the next day for a tour of Amber Town, nearby temples, and a block printing demo. Highly recommend Vivek!
Vivek is an absolutely brilliant guide. No doubt he does great group tours, but we were a couple and he covered all the bases - history, culture, food, arts/textiles - with his trademark expertise, warmth and humour. He was flexible and adjusted the itinerary based on our needs while also making helpful suggestions based on his accurate assessment of our interests. Vivek also takes you to great places to eat off the tourist trail, whether a simple but glorious restaurant near the Amber Fort, or a near empty rooftop restaurant bang in the middle of town. Great guide, great guy.
What a wonderful tour; authentic and fascinating taking us down hidden streets and beautiful temples with exquisite tastes along the way with fresh quality traditional Indian food in tiny outlets that we would never have tried without our brilliant guide. What a great tour and thoroughly recommended.
So pleased we did this tour - we got to eat local food made by local traders, everything freshly cooked and delicious. Vivek was an excellent guide and a font of knowledge about everything Jaipur-based. We got right off tourist routes to places where we were the only non-locals (but the locals were so welcoming). My only slight gripe is that the tour lasted quite a bit longer than stated and overran by over an hour. No big deal - we had nowhere else we needed to be, but were happy to sit down at the end of the evening!
We were very pleased with Vivek as our guide! In addition to being very knowledgeable he was friendly and very good at giving us time to soak in what we were experiencing. He even got us in to some more private spots that made the journey much more special. His passion for Jaipur gave us an insider’s view of this very special place. We felt like we were being shown around by a good friend!
Vivek not only showed us the best places but he also took one thousand pictures of us and all of them were great! Relaxing tour with the professional tour guide - best combo. Thank you, Vivek!
Vivek was our tour guide and let me tell you he was fantastic, everything we ate was so delicious we came out of there stuffed but satisfied. He was very knowledgeable of the old city and took us to a plethora of establishments serving the best snacks of Jaipur. I would highly recommend using his services to get a great taste of the old city.
This tour is likely to exceed your expectations! Vivek, my guide, was an excellent storyteller as we wandered through the streets of the Pink City. His deep knowledge of the city's history, traditions, and dynamics was captivating. It was a pleasure to listen to him. As we explored, we sampled various delicious foods, and Vivek made sure the food tour was perfect, even with my many dietary restrictions. If you're looking for the best experience in Jaipur, this is the tour to choose!
This tour was absolutely brilliant. Vivek took us to spots where local people eat to enjoy authentic Jaipur specialities. We also learned a lot about life in the city.
Good fun. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Lovely tourists also contributed to the experience:) .I was brave enough to try all the street food the guide recommended . The food was tasty without unpleasant effects the following day! Thank you
