Highlights
- Amber Palace - Meet your guide at your Jaipur hotel or arrange to be picked up at the airport or railway station in Jaipur at approximately 8am.
Begin the tour by visiting the Amber Fort. The Amber Fort is situated on a ridge just outside Jaipur City and is beautifully reflected in the lake below. Inside the fort, you will encounter the world-renowned Jai Mandir temple with its dazzling Sheesh Mahal hall of mirrors. The walls and the ceiling of the Mahal are covered with a beautiful array of mirrors, which reflect any streak of light, illuminating the entire room.
- Jal Mahal - Continue the tour by making a photo stop at Jal Mahal around 11am. This Rajput style “Water Palace” sits in the center of the Man Sarobar lake. The lake is often dry during the summer, but the winter monsoons frequently turn it into a beautiful lake filled with water hyacinths.
- Hawa Mahal - Palace of Wind - Next, you will visit the Hawa Mahal, another Rajput landmark also known as the Palace of the Winds, for more photo opportunities. The five story Hawa Mahal was built in 1799A.D. along the main street of the old city. It is a pink sandstone masterpiece with semi-octagonal and delicately honeycombed windows.
- City Palace of Jaipur - After taking a short break to enjoy lunch at a popular local restaurant.
You will visit the City Palace and Ovservetory which is located in the heart of the old city. Once the royal residence of the King of Jaipur, the palace was built using a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal styles. It features carved arches, intricately crafted columns and two carved marble elephants that guard the entrance.
- The Gem Palace - Later in the day, enjoy an afternoon of shopping in Jaipur where you will find an enticing variety of goods. Some of the most popular items include precious gemstones, silver jewelry, bangles, clothes, blue pottery, and textiles.
- Jaipur - Your tour ends in the evening with return to your hotel, or the airport or train station around 5pm

Great experience! - We really had an unforgettable experience.
The trip was very well organized. Our private driver was very friendly, welcoming and always perfectly in time. He took us to all the destinations along the trip and we always felt safe knowing he was somewhere around. Especially having perfectly working WiFi in the car, was a great benefit on the drives between the cities. The daily tour guides and the driver always were in touch so we never had to wait and made best use of our time.
The hotels and restaurants chosen by the agency were very nice and suitable for a western understanding of cleanliness.
Overall, we can highly suggest this trip if you have limited time and want to experience the main attractions and culture of northern India.

Day trip to Jaipur - Surya and KK gave us such a fabulous day in Jaipur. We were short on time but a trip by rail was easy. Despite the train delay they helped make up time and we saw all we planned. Surya was knowledgeable and made the day a memorable one. KK got us to where we needed to be safely and swiftly. Thank you!

Brilliant day trip in Jaipur - Jaipur is a vibrant city with so much to take in. We were fortunate to have Surya as our guide and KK as out driver who are from the city and passionate about their home. Despite a train delay at the start of our trip they were easy to find and able to reorganise the day to still experience everything we hoped for. The commentary in good English and insight made us see far more things that we ever could have independently.

Impressive palace and forts - When in Jaipur, a visit to amber Palace is a must. The palace is very impressive and offers amazing views over the valley.
A visit to the water palace, Jaigarh fort above on the hill Nahargarh fort are also a must to see.
Highly recommend for a when in Jaipur ❤️

Golden Triangle - Praveen (Rocky) was a great tour guide. He shared his knowledge about the local food, sites, and shopping. Anil was an amazing driver that was always prompt and kept us safe. Both of these gentlemen ensured we had a great time in India and saw everything we wanted to, modifying the plans and activities to our liking. Highly recommend this tour!

Don’t waste your money - Tour was okay. It’s is definitely not worth the cost they are charging. The tour guide did a good job explaining the sites. Took some good pictures too. The thing he didn’t do a good job with was listening. I told him numerous times that I did not want to go “shopping”. Especially not for rugs and jewelry. Half the tour was spent in tourist traps where they “show” how a jewel is shaped or a carpet is made. Then he took me to see miniature painting. Again, complete waste of my time. I was curious about the prices at all these places and to my expectations they were exorbitant. It obviously is a scam to rip off tourists and pay off each guide for bringing tourists to these dumps. Do yourself a favor by not taking this tour. You can take an Uber and save yourself half a day and a ton of money
