Fantastic tour and guide! - The walking tour with Deepak was such a great experience! My daughter and I loved it. First, the organization was flawless - V Care Tours helped us along the way of getting to Jaipur and the instructions were all clear and reliable. On the walking tour (we also took two days with a driver and guide which were equally good), we got a good feeling for the city as a place where people live and work. Deepak knows the old city and its people and is eager to share his thoughts and ideas as well as his knowledge. We went in the morning because it was June and quite hot. This allowed us to watch the market vendors setting up shop - something really special for us. We then also got a lot of great views. I can't emphasize enough how terrific this tour is! Thanks, Deepak, for all of your care - looking forward to another trip.

Best morning in Jaipur! - 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!

Best tour ever - 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.

A real look at Jaipur - 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.

Heritage Walking Tour - 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.

Fabulous walking tour with a knowledable local - 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.
