What to expect
Don't have much time in Jaipur but still want to experience the best of the city? This one and a half hour walking tour with an English speaking guide will take you to the most significant cultural areas of this vivid city and allow you to get a better look at its culture and locals. From where you'll meet your guide, your first destination is the Hawa Mahal, an incredible edifice built in red and pink sandstone and designed with breathtaking architectural style. This is followed by a visit to a century old sword shop where you'll see ancient weaponry and blades, and you'll get to study these old armaments. You'll also visit a local antique market full of charming items and even 150 year old cameras—definitely a flea market aficionado's dream. Then you'll head to Bhatton Ki Gali, a location where the ancient royal priests resided. The area is also full of old houses, giving you a glimpse into the architectural style of the time period. Then you head to the City Palace Chokh, and here you can get that perfect panoramic photograph of the city for your memories. Then you head to a famous UNESCO World Heritage site, the Jantar Mantar, a collection of astronomical instruments, including a gigantic, gnomon that's been designed parallel to the Earth's axis. Don't forget to have a look at the old market as you go, see some museums, and the old buildings that Jaipur is so famous for. You then head to the Swargsuli Tower, rising head and shoulders above other the historic buildings, and the tallest of the historical sites in the city. You'll learn more about local religion and spirituality with a visit to the Shiva Temple and the Krishna Temple, which has been maintained by the same family for 8 generations and counting. Your tour finally ends at the retro-styled surroundings of the Golcha Cinema.

Indiana Tourism Ancient place Ancient culture Beautiful and beautiful buildings and locations If having a chance to go again, of course, Jaipur city.
A good historical and cultural tour of Jaipur including temples, houses, the outside of palaces and much more. Yash is a good storyteller.
Captivating journey through Jaipur's heritage sites, Klook's Cultural Walking Tour exceeded expectations. Highly recommended!
It was amazing walking tour when we visited Jaipur city. Dhananja was very nice tour guide and handsome Indian boy. He was polite and protected us when we crossed the road then he said "Just relax". It make us felt calm down from many cars in the road. He recommended good Chai shop for us and clearly to explained about histories of Jaipur although first time we did not understand his English (Indian accent) but he spoke slow down and it was easy to listened. We was fun and got new friend for this trip.
Saket and Ayush - two local tour guides were enthusiastic and funny guys. They walked with me visiting various historical, architectural and religious spots including ancient houses at Jaipur to understand the famous heritages, more knowledge of Hindu and part of daily living in the pink city. Those places became more interesting with few stories unfound on the internet but shared by thoé local men. On the walk, they also invited me to try indian snack which are crispy, used with sour and spicy sauce, cakes from offerings to the God. Highly recommend the tourists to take this tour. For next time if any i would like to join their food tour.
Great tour with local insights to the Old City. Aayush was very informative and went out of his way to provide a memorable experiece. Would highly recommend this!
The tour guide did not appear on time, and waited for more than an hour at the place. Although I tried to contact and proposed to compensate again the next day, it was impossible to proceed because the trip was already going to the next city.
