One reviewer shared, “Great experience - Monis is a great guide. He is very serious about his job and very knowledgeable on local history and culture. My favorite attraction is Jantar Mantar. If without Monis, it would be just a bunch of meaningless instruments. Monis made it so much more interesting. Very glad we have him as our tour guide.” (Reviewed on 2024-10-24).
