Private Jaipur Local City Sightseeing Tour With Car

Jaipur is a beatutiful city with incredible tourist sights. The tour was interesting and we were well looked after throughout. Hiring a guide brought to life everything that we saw through expert analysis and nuanced information and enhanced the tour immeasurably. Our guide knew the best spots for photographs and helped create for us what will become treasured memories. The driver was incredibly polite and ensured that the day was effortless.

We have just returned from a 7/8 day booked through Ecstatic India. The whole experience has been truly excellent. Arranging the tour was very easy with it primarily being discussed via WhatsApp, and confirmed via email, including some specific requests. When we landed in India our Driver Ashok was ready waiting for us - he stayed with us the whole holiday, navigating the Indian traffic, making us feel very safe, and making suggestions from his vast experience of doing these tours, as to where to go for food, specific shopping and points of interest. Ashok is well worth asking for if you have the chance, although i expect all of the tour guides from this company will be of a similar high caliber. At every location we also met a Local Guide, who would take us round each city or site, and provide us with the background knowledge we needed to understand a site properly. In general these were very good, with a thorough knowledge and a high level of spoken English, although one or two did take us to their preferred retailer of certain goods, where, taken into a backroom we felt fairly pressured to purchase very expensive goods (we didn't though!). In particular our guide at Agra, for the Taj Mahal and Red Fort was fanastic and also Vinnie, who took us round Jaipur. Both had thorough in depth knowledge of their areas, a very high level of spoken English and took genuine care of us through the day. We did find it a little difficult at times to make it clear we wanted to not only got to high quality shops, but also browse real Indian bazaars and mix in more - but it believe this is only for care of their clients. All in all I doubt you can do any better than book a tour through Ecstatic India, and when we return we won't hesitate to use this company again!

I was concerned before my initial enquiry to this company that we wanted a bespoke tour that might not be practical, but Vishal Sharma made it happen. We had a quote from another company but Ecstatic India offered better value. We visited Dehli, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Agra, Bandhavgar and Kanha over a 3 week period driven for the initial 9 days by the wonderful Santosh. The charming Santosh was our driver and navigated beautifully through awful city traffic and was obviously proud of his wonderful country. The car was a very comfortable Toyota Innova which was so important due to the long distances covered. We loved Santosh's jokes' and he was very caring and we always felt very safe. He was always on time and knew exactly where to go and what our itinerary was for each day. Every connection was timed perfectly - there was always a guide waiting for us and no problems checking into hotels early . Highlight - hard to chose but I think it is the Amber fort and City Palace in Jaipur - awsome! All the safaris Vishal booked for us were timed perfectly and we were fortunate to have had 8 excellent tiger sightings as well as Sloth bear, mongoose , Gaur and lots of birds, antelope and deer. We can't wait to go back to India and will be asking Vishal to organise once again for us - hopefully with Santosh behind the wheel! Best tip - the metro in Delhi is wonderful - safe, super clean and cheap!
