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.

Crazy indian traffic. You need a local driver for any transfer. Beauriful palace architectures . Too many stops for shopping : souvenir,silk,jewels, the tourist is under pressure and we do not pay for a shopping tour. But professional guide and incredible residences.

The trip was fantastic and Kapil is a super guide with a great knowledge of Jaipur's sights and the ability to tell stories in a simple yet interesting way. I definitely recommend it.

Had an amazing day with our Driver Shabbir! Super kind and funny and also allowed us to customize our day! Highly recommend!

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