Overall rating

4.3 / 5

based on 55 reviews

The familiy where we are living was very friendly and take care that we have all we need. Especially our guide took a lot of amazing pictures of us while we were doing the camel ride, the jeep tour and staying under the stars. So we have unforgettable photos of us and this very interesting experience. Our favorite was the opportunity to sleep under the stars. We would like to stay there everytime again.

Beeindruckend, aber zu chaotisch

The guide was a neat person. It is a style to take you to the front of Ahmade Bhawan and Mehrangarh Fort, buy the entrance ticket by yourself, and see it. Meanwhile, the driver will be waiting outside. If you want to go to recommended restaurants and souvenir shops, you can take them with you.

Our guide Yogi went above and beyond giving us all of his time and attention. He was extremely knowledgable, and open to any requests we made. Yogi gave us more time than the tour outlined and included a walk through the bazaar and stops at stores we requested. Thank you Yogi!

Yogis is a really sympathetic and knowledgeable guide. We had a really wonderful trip in the blue city and got a lot of information, both about the city and India in general. In particular, we gained a lot of historical knowledge. Can definitely be recommended

Our driver was super nice and not only drove us to our hotel and the temple but also allowed us to admire the dam on the way after we requested a stop there.
