Privé dagtocht naar Chittorgarh Fort vanuit Udaipur

Chittorgarh Fort definitely worth a visit, it's a magic place in on a hill with amazing views. The visit is better if you have a car or a driver. This simply because of the extension of the place and the many buildings and areas to visit. If you are well prepared about it you can also visit on your own, without a guide. However a professional guide can help you to prioritise places and tell you about their history and the many stories around. Unfortunately the driver and the tour guide I paid for this trip weren't everything but professional, well below the standard I expected for the paid price. 1. The driver's car was old, uncomfortable and going to a very slow speed. On the motorway we've been overtaken by almost every car. 2. The driver didn't speak a word in English 3. We met early morning, I didn't do any breakfast and on the way the driver never asked if I needed to stop (it's a 2 hrs journey). Instead, at halfway he stopped saying he needed a tea, basically leaving me in the car. I instead get off the car and took the opportunity to have a tea myself and some biscuits. He took the opportunity to have his tea and biscuit paid by me too. 4. When we approached the Fort, the tourist guide jumped on the car with his nephew, a young girl about 9 years old. He was unshaved, speaking a fast and at trait incomprehensible English. He wore no tourist guide badge. 5. We arrived at the ticket counter, he asked me the 600 Rupees to buy my ticket, he did so but didn't give me the ticket. I had to ask for it later. 6. Instead of entering the main entrance and have the ticket checked by the guards, he asked me to sneak from a opening on the side, as if we hadn't the ticket. 7. He showed me around with very little and at some traits very inaccurate or contradicting himself. Many times he left me enter the buildings alone with no explanation o what was inside. Few times, when i came out of buildings, he gave some information about a question I raised earlier. I spot him twice checking on his mobile phone I suppose looking for information. 8. At some point he showed me and entered the cafe where I could go to the toilets if needed and have some refreshments. I did so, but once I've ordered some snacks, he went in the kitchen saying something in Hindi to the cooker. Once my snacks were ready, I sat on a chair in the corner for eating and saw the cooker laughing and the guide and the driver arguing. I'm not sure about the expectations, but I'm sure I had more in my plate than I ordered. I suppose he interfered with my order to have some for them too. He didn't ask me anything nor sat with me. 9. On the way back, the driver asked me if I wanted to have lunch somewhere, I said no I didn't. I was utterly tired and annoyed for the service I received and I couldn't wait to be back home. Nevertheless, halfway he stopped in a service area, left me in the car and had 30 minute stop for having his lunch. I paid 6700 rupees for being treated like a cattle to transport from one place to another, and then like a child to send to pull around with no explanations worth the price paid.

Bezocht fort Chittorgarh afgelopen dinsdag. hield van het fort. we boekten taxi van rijden en ontspannen en taxichauffeur vertelde ons dat hij een van de beste gids kende. We vertrouwden onze taxichauffeur en we zijn totaal teleurgesteld. Gids was zielig en was niet in staat om gedachten en verhalen op de juiste manier over te brengen. Toen ik vroeg naar ergens, vertelde hij kopie kar Liya mevrouw. kopieer kar Liya mevrouw. . . Toen we bij Padmini Palace kwamen, vertelde de gids dat het niet de moeite waard was om te bekijken. . omdat we een klein kind hebben en vanwege zijn gedrag voelden we ons ook gewoon deze plek verlaten. . terugkerende gids en taxichauffeur vroeg ons enkele tribale producten te bekijken. ze stopten een winkel in de buurt van de uitgangspoort van fort. De winkelman toonde veel materiaal en stond erop dat we de stam moesten helpen. Geen prijskaartje aan producten en het was een winkel met een vast tarief. . we vonden de kosten te veel. Ze praten aardig en emotioneel en uiteindelijk kochten we dingen die we niet wilden. . Gids heeft zijn aandeel en ook taxichauffeur. Gids was te druk toen hij uitlegde over fort, maar in de winkel was hij helemaal gratis. . dus een goede gids is een must als je Chittorgarh bezoekt. Overal in Chittorgarh is het fort geweldig en sommige mensen geven alleen om geld en pas op voor hen.
