great experience - The journey from Jodphur to Udaipur was just very good. We were picked up directly at the haveli. The car was very clean and appeared to be in good condition. Our driver Ganesh was very personable and friendly. In Ranakpur we took our time because of the beautiful temple. Wasn't a problem for Ganesh at all. Thank you Genesh for your patience and understanding. Ganesh is a very attentive driver and got us safely to Udaipur.
Overall we would highly recommend Balaji Forex Tours & Travels.

Very nice day trip - We wanted to visit the Ranakpur temple and heard that Udaipur is very nice. We got our driver Bittü who was excellent. He was punctual and was super nice to pick us up at our hotel in Jodhpur. We had a very comfortable ride and he was fine with us spending a lot of time and Ranakpur temple. We even got a "safari" on the way as we saw a couple of crocodiles and peacocks. He was very knowledgable about the whole route. That he is booked for already the next weeks how wanted Bittü is. He also gave uas some good recommendations for food in Udaipur which we are going to try out.
Thanks, Bittü for the excellent day!

Bittu from Udaipur, Rajasthan was my driver for the day. He drove very well, speaks good English and made my day very enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt very safe all day.

Friendly and talkative guide! - Travelled from Jodphur to udaipur with Bittu. Bittu is a very friendly and talkative guide, and tries to make you feel at ease. Ranakbur temple is impressive and worth a stop off on the journey.

Excellent transfer - Very comfortable transfer from Jodhpur to Udaipur, the stop at the Ranakpur temple is spectacular. Quiet drive with the possibility of stopping for lunch, it's a shame that our driver didn't speak a single word of English, so communication was a bit difficult

Traveling by car from Jodhpur to Udaipur with BIttu was a great plan - The chance to see the countryside between these two cities was excellent. Our driver was helpful and careful. THe temple itself was interesting and worth seeing, but doesn't match some of the other excellent places we visited in Rajasthan. We totally agreed that our driver, BIttu, was EXCELLENT

Trip from Jodhpur to Udaipur - We spent the day with Shankar, really nice driver that explained us a lot of things about India and the culture.
Really nice road from Jodhpur to Udaipur where we stopped at Ranakpur temple, which is amazing !
He provided us chai tea and bottle of water. At the end, he invited us at his home, really interesting !
Only thing I am disappointed of, is that we were supposed to go also to Kumbalgarh Fort but we didnt have time. Maybe the agency should start the day earlier as it takes time to reach the site, or tell at the begining its not possible. Not really fair to assure you that you can do both and finally not.
We were given back 500rp for this.
