“Informative, warm-hearted guide with a great sense of humor - Both Indra, our guide, and the driver Mukesh were terrific. They went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Indra shared a lot of historical info about Jaipur and its sights. He helped us taking pictures, negotiating with the shopkeepers, and was accommodating enough to suggest a place for lunch, even though it was not part of the tour. By the end of the day, we felt like part of his family.” - Reviewed at 2024-11-05
