We had a great day exploring Jaipur with our English speaking tour guide Mustak and our driver Mr. Shyam.

We went during the off season/monsoon season and our guide had water for us and also umbrellas for sun and rain. Would highly recommend this tour!
This is a great one day tour. We spent the day with Shyam and Mustak exploring different locations and sights. They were very helpful in understanding then rich history of each location as well as accommodating our time and interests. Since we went during monsoon season, they were also particularly great at preparing for the heat and rain. Would recommend!
An excellent tour of Jaipur, visiting the Pink City, Amber Palace, Royal Palace, Water Palace and Observatory. Our guide Tahir and Driver Vijay were both excellent, accommodating our early arrival and tailoring the tour as we went (due to our general energy levels and midday heat). Some highlights included our first stop in Pink City for breakfast was a great start to the day, thr Masala tea was excellent and I'd encourage everyone to give it a try (we had no stomach issues at all with any of the food we had in Jaipur). Anothwr highlight was the Amber Palace which is filled with beautiful buildings and scenery where there are opportunities for various activities such as snake charming performance, elephant rides and drum performances. Would thoroughly recommend this tour for any visitor to Jaipur who wants an comfortable, insightful and friendly tour.
Had a great day today exploring Jaipur with our guide Himansha Kumar Trivedi. His knowledge was outstanding; we learned so much about The Pink City. The driver was so accommodating making sure we had plenty of water and reminded us to have the snacks that were on offer too. Small details like opening the car door, ensuring the AC was on for when we got back in. Made our trip. Thank you so much to Abby & Scout for organising a great day with an amazing guide, Himansha, and his very nice driver friend!!

A well planned and informative tour of Jaipur. Both the driver (Kailash) and the tour guide (Mustak) were very friendly and professional. They were ready for pickup 15 mins prior to the start time. My guide showed me all the sights and was very knowledgeable about the history of each stop. He even helped me with customizing the tour with some stops I wanted. A must do experience in Jaipur, especially if you're short on time.
The best way to visit Jaipur! We easily arranged the trip from the UK and the communication with the company was faultless. Gaurav, our guide, was simply fantastic. He was waiting in the lobby of our hotel at the agreed time and had everything planned and ready for us. From beginning to end his only preoccupation was that we should have the most memorable experience of Jaipur... and we certainly did. We spend 9 hours touring the most popular or less well-known spots of the city. The days was full of highlights, which will stay in our memory forever. This was my 4th time in India and I can confidently say that Jaipur and this tour in particular top the list of my recommendations. Jaipur is an incredible place! Many thanks to Gaurav and to knowledge and passion for making our day an unforgettable one.
As a solo female traveller I felt very safe on the guided tour with Sabir, who was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt at ease everywhere we went and was given several choices for what I wanted to do and eat along the way.
We had an amazing day from start to finish. We were picked up at the hotel by Khatri. Our tour guide was Tahir Hussain. His knowledge of Jaipur was excellent. A really good , knowledgeable guide who also had a really good sense of humour. Our lunch was excellent. Would definitely recommend this tour.
From the start all communication was excellent. Tahir, my guide, picked me up from my hotel on time and in one of the best cars I've had in India. Very polite and respectful, he explained everything and made sure that the itinerary fit my needs. The pace was very comfortable and we covered everything I wanted to see! Thank you!
We had an amazing experience seeing and learning about the rich history of Jaipur. Tahir and Vikram hosted our tour and were very knowledgeable and accommodating.
Tahir was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable on all aspects of the toured places. Vikram was also a great driver that took us everywhere in a safe and timely manner.
I went as a solo traveller on this guided tour. Tahir was a wonderful host, and was very communicative from before we even started. He was very knowledgable of the history of Jaipur and was also a great photographer. The driver Mukesh was also great, navigating the roads of Jaipur. Would recommend this!
We had a fantastic time during the tour! We took lots of great pictures (My favorite sight was the Amber Fort and you can see a picture below). Our guide Tahir and driver Rajesh were super helpful and friendly. They even provided us with lots of snacks and water in the car. Tahir knows everything and more about the city and the history. We always felt save and comfortable and I can highly recommend this tour.
We had a great time on our tour guide Tahir and driver Rajesh. We first went to the Amber Fort, saw the palace on the lake, the one in the city and much more! Our tour guide was very informative and kind.
We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable guide than Sabir Sheikh. Not only is he a good storyteller, but he also has a good sense of humor. Throughout the tour, he took care of us very well; he was indeed a likable, sincere, and friendly guy. We’d highly commend both the tour operator and guide.
Experienced guide with great hospitality. The diver also cares about safe and comfortable driving. The tour was efficiently organized and fun!
We commenced the journey around 0900 hrs. Sabir Sheikh who contacted us in advance gave a brief about the tour so that we were aware of the places and timings planned for the tour. Based on our preferences he planned the tour. Be careful of shoping around in places where you dont really know. avoid factory outlets becasue they sell damaged items unless you chek them. bargain 100% as the prices they quote are extremely high. Amber palace should not be missed at any cost
phenomenal tour which was both highly informative and fun! my guide rajesh barashar was a delight - there is no end to his knowledge of jaipur and it’s history and he’s passionate about sharing it! the driver shyam was efficient and very skilled at navigating the crazy jaipur traffic! i would give six stars if it was possible !
Wow! jaipur! Couldn't have had this much fun without my tour guide, Tahir. He gave me all exceptional service throughout the day, experience and knowledge he has. He made this so great so I could just sit back and enjoy. Thanks, Tahir.
We had a tour guide. Mr. Tahir who was just great.i"d love to come back to Jaipur and would love to have him as a tour guide again. He was very knowledgeable and flexible. He even too Is to a very local restaurant and the food was just superb. All in all. It was a wonderful experience
Tahir Hussain is a truly excellent tour guide. He has amazing knowledge of the history of Jaipur and India as a whole. He took us to the best places to suit our interest. Shyam's driving was expert. We felt most comfortable in his hands.
