Incredible walking tour of Jodhpur with Bantu - I had the pleasure of joining a walking tour in Jodhpur led by Bantu, and it was an unforgettable experience. His incredible knowledge about the city's history, architecture, and culture brought every corner of Jodhpur to life. From the stunning blue streets to hidden landmarks, Bantu shared captivating stories and fascinating insights that made the city’s rich heritage truly come alive.
What set this tour apart was Bantu’s generosity and attention to detail. Along the way, he treated us to authentic local snacks like samosas and pakoras, which added a delicious touch to the experience. His warmth and passion made me feel like I was exploring the city with a friend rather than just a guide. If you're visiting Jodhpur, don’t miss the chance to take this exceptional tour with Bantu!

The best way to see Jodhpur - I had the most incredible experience on the walking tour of Jodhpur! From the moment we began, I knew this would be something special. Our guide Bantu, a local expert, was passionate, knowledgeable, and made the city's rich history come alive in a way that was both engaging and fun.
The walk down into the old town was just as magical, as we strolled through narrow alleys lined with vibrant blue houses, hidden temples, and local artisan shops. We stopped for some fresh street food, and the pyaaz kachori and tea were absolutely amazing!
The pace was just right — we had time to explore and ask questions, but never felt rushed.
If you want to truly get to know Jodhpur and see it through the eyes of a local, this walking tour is a MUST! Highly recommend!

The must do in the Blue City - A absolute MUST! Bantu brings the Blue City alive.
First of all he picked us up at our hotel, that was much appreciated. He showed us a couple of historic things. Then brought us to the very old part and explained heaps! He was very patient with us taking photos and videos. We learned a lot and therefore we really liked the town Jodhpur. Finishing with the best samosas is perfect. The walk is very doable, only a small climb but it’s so worth it.
Whatever you do in Jodhpur, make sure this is in your list!

Brought Jodphur to life - A fantastic tour by a friendly, knowledgable, interesting guide. We were shown iconic streets, taught about the history of the city, told what makes jodphur unique and tasted the best samosa I have ever had.
We were having mixed feelings about Jodphur before this tour. Bantu brought the city to life with his tour, changing our minds on the city.
10/10 would recommend.

Get to know Jodhpur better - Great chance to get to know Jodhpur from a different perspective. Vic was an excellent guide walking us from the new to the old town, showing us the narrow streets of indigo washed houses and told us about local customs. Thanks, Vic… it was a pleasures!

Wonderful introduction to Jodphur - We are so happy we went in the evening tour just after we arrived in Jodphur. It gave us a great sense of the magic of the city. Bantu was knowledgeable, funny, and good humored. Bantu showed us the most beautiful views for sunset, and taught us to safely cross the streets. We loved the chilli pakora and lassi as well. Highly recommend!

Excellent fact packed tour with chai and samosa - Bantu met us outside our hotel. We walked towards the Step Well first and along the streets of the old bazaars. We paused for a few minutes where Bantu explained about the Blue City and how it came to be. We then visited the streets covered in artwork and paused for a samosa and chai bazaar just outside the Clock Tower gate where. Bantu was a true gentleman and was happy to suggest places to buy from if you were looking for anything in particular however nothing was forced. Would highly recommend this walking tour when in Jodhpur.

10/10 walking tour - Bantu was a great tour guide!! We were so lucky to have him show us the amazing sights, streets and history of Jodhpur😀 he really took his time explaining everything to us from the cast systems to the way of life in his home city. We finished off the tour tasting delicious street food. To be honest we would not have seen Jodhpur if it wasn’t for Bantu. Definitely book him in! You won’t regret 👏😄😃

A fantastic tour of our guide's home city - Our tour guide Bantu was an absolute gem, providing us with a fascinating insight into the architectural and cultural fabric of Jodphur. We discovered parts of the city we'd never have found alone and finished off with some of the best street food we've had on our tour of India so far. A genuine guy with a real passion for his home city.
