Fantastic tour of Jaipur - Ashok Sharma was our guide for the day and he was fantastic. You can tell that being a guide is his passion. He shares so much information and it was a pleasure to discuss many topics throughout the day. In addition he showed us many hidden gems that were not on the agenda. The tour was very well organized and made our day truly memorable.

Memorable day in Jaipur - All monuments we have seen were fantastic. Our tourguide Ashok Sharma was exceptional with so much knowledge and he really made the day to remember. He also shared other sights with us that were not on the itinerary. The entire day was very well organized.

See Jaipur from a local lens! - Ashok toured us to all the popular attractions but also we got to experience things from the local point of view!
He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I gained a new friend in Jaipur to be sure. Thanks for making us feel comfortable and taking the time to explain things to us. We definitely learned more than those on other tours…you could tell because people wanted to listen in on Ashok’s explanation of things, he was so good!

Perfect intro to Jaipur - I booked this as a way to get an introduction to Jaipur’s many sights. Tour lasted the full day (close to 9 hours) with guide and driver. Cannot say enough about my guide Ashok. He was knowledgeable, friendly, generous and with the driver Manohar, I felt like I was really taken care of. No sight felt rushed and every question I had was answered throughly. Ashok is like an encyclopedia. You get introduced to a few industries of Jaipur (block printing, jewelry, and rug making) with the opportunity to buy items in store - unlike in other places, I did not feel pressured to buy anything and if I wanted to go, I would just let my guide know it was time. Cannot recommend this tour enough!

Best tour in Jaipur - We had a wonderful day touring Jaipur with Shakul. He is knowldgable, easy going, funny and just a lovely guy. He adjusted what we wanted to make the experience tailored to our needs. Not touring with him would be a missed opportunity.

Best guide and driver ever! - We absolutely loved our time with Ashok and DK in Jaipur- they made our trip unforgettable and amazing! They were extremely knowledgeable, flexible, patient, and kind in taking us around to see they best of the city (while in a beautiful, clean car with AC!)
We met Mr. DK in Agra while touring the Taj Mahal- we loved him so much that we hired him to drive us to Jaipur and then back to New Delhi for our flight home. Each day Mr. DK picked us up with a warm smile and greeting. It is an understatement to say he a professional driver! His skills while navigating the insanely busy Golden Triangle streets between Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur are unmatched by any other driver in the world! He is the best and it was such a pleasure to be in his company! Ask for DK when you book!
As for Ashok- he is a kind, smart, thoughtful person and it was an absolute joy to spend time with him in Jaipur. He told us about the impressive monuments we saw and answered the millions of questions that came up along the way. He helped us negotiate deals at shops and even took us to meet his beautiful family! He truly a renaissance man-an attorney, guide, yogi, astrologer, story teller and business man. His block printing business is impressive to say the least and we enjoyed every minute with him. When you go to book ask for DK to be your driver, ask for Mahesh in Agra and Ashok in Jaipur- you will not regret it and they will treat you well. 💕 Many thanks to each of these men for everything.
