    We had the absolute best time with Deepak! This was an amazing way to start our trip in Jaipur and is totally different than your average tour. Deepak takes you through the back streets and shows you what daily life in Jaipur is like + shares tales and stories of Jaipur through the years. He’s extremely knowledgeable and also incredibly kind. We would highly recommend this to anyone else!

    I am a travel planner and my boyfriend and I have been full-time traveling for a long time— I can honestly say that this is one of the best walking tours we’ve been on. Deepak walked us through a neighborhood in the old city and shared the genuine history of Jaipur culture with beautiful story telling (and snacks!). You won’t get this kind of tour from the every-day tour guide.

    Deepak is a fascinating character that really cares about his town, Jaipur. It’s not the usual tour where the guide just repeated what he was told, but a truthful and very personal description of life in the old city. We saw some places that the average tourist never sees and asked questions about life in Jaipur. My wife and I had been in Jaipur several times, therefore we were not interested in the basic tourist sites. This tour accomplishes exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended.

    Having visited Jaipur many times. I took the opportunity to see a different side of the old city I was collected in a super old Ambassador car and driven to Joh’ri Bazar in the Jewellery making district Our first stop was a Temple hidden away up sone steps on top of the houses and shops. We then proceeded down the back streets where my guide Deepak showed me beautiful havelis and told me the history of them . We bought food from a street vendor and sat with our Lassi at the back of the shop to talk about the people who came before us and developed this area. We continued our walk until we reached another Temple where we could look down on to the Flower Market. In all we were out about 3 hours and had a most enjoyable , interesting tour.

    This private walking tour opened our eyes to the real Jaipur. We ate the local food, shopped at the local markets, met the local vendors, and learned about the place's customs, culture, and history. Our guide Deepak was great fun to be with and very knowledgeable. A thoroughly enjoyable morning. The only thing I would ditch next time is the temple visit. Definitely not a fan of temples. But that's just a personal preference.

    What to expect

    Join me, Deepak, on a walking journey through the heart of Jaipur and discover the Pink City beyond the famous monuments. I will personally meet you at your hotel before we begin our walk into the old city. From there, we’ll explore Jaipur on foot, wandering through colourful bazaars, narrow hidden lanes, historic havelis, old temples and lively neighbourhoods where everyday Jaipur life continues much as it has for generations. As we walk, I’ll share stories about the people, traditions, architecture and fascinating characters that have shaped the city. We’ll see local artisans, discover unusual corners and hear stories that you are unlikely to find in a guidebook. There will be plenty of opportunities to stop, take photographs, ask questions, meet local people and simply enjoy the atmosphere around you. This is not a rushed sightseeing walk or a checklist of monuments. It is a chance to slow down and experience Jaipur on foot, through the eyes of someone who has known the city for decades. Come prepared to walk, explore and be curious—and leave with a different understanding of the Pink City.
