Jaipur

it was a great tour. My guide, Mr Ali Amzad was very professional and engaging during the tour. He cared about the tour and the guest, and how the itinerary will be accomplished. He is easy to talk to and always asks if I’m okay as a guest. His guide about the places are very informational. The driver and the itinerary are also good. very recommended tour operator

Opas oli erittäin perehtynyt jokaiseen kohteeseen, ja opin paljon uutta. Kuljettaja ajoi turvallisesti, joten Intian kaoottisessakin liikenteessä oli suhteellisen turvallista matkustaa kyydissä. Kuten tosin jo etukäteen tiesimmekin, aikataulu oli hieman tiukka ja automatkoja oli paljon, mikä teki olon väsyneeksi. Suosittelen osallistumaan retkelle niin, että ennen sitä ja sen jälkeen on hyvin aikaa levätä.

it was a nice experience to visit Taj Mahal and and other destinations in Agra. The guide is knowledgeable about the place and the driver is very nice

All the hassles of arranging transportation are completely solved. Meeting my driver, Sanjay, was even more wonderful than visiting the Taj Mahal. The driver stayed at a nearby accommodation and spent three days with me. Not only did he take me to my destinations, but he also took me to recommended restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at whatever time I preferred. While I ate, he waited nearby for me. To me, he wasn't just a driver; he was my travel companion in India. Of course, his safe driving skills were also flawless. At the sightseeing spots, I requested Japanese-speaking guides. The guides were different for Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, and each of them is a local who grew up in their respective city. All of them have deep knowledge of history and architecture, and their Japanese communication skills were completely fine. I traveled alone, and I think that 23,000 yen for all of this is unbelievably cheap. To mention a drawback, there are many visits to local shops that are not on the itinerary. It is fun to look at folk crafts, but being pressured to buy them each time is honestly a hassle. If those visits were just stops, that would be one thing, but visits to some famous sites were cut as a result. For example, we didn't visit Humayun's Tomb because there wasn't enough time and on the grounds that it looks similar to the Taj Mahal. I almost had Itimad-ud-Daulah skipped for the same reason, but I spoke up and had him take me there. As for Jaipur, I didn't visit any of the four places on the itinerary. I think this was partly because I added the elephant village experience option. However, it was nice that I was able to visit Amer Fort, which wasn't in the original plan. The tour company probably builds the schedule flexibly, taking into account traffic congestion caused by local festivals. While I am deducting one star for these drawbacks, the original value for money is so incredible that it feels like a six-star experience, so I am ultimately completely satisfied with five stars. Come to think of it, being asked to post a TripAdvisor review every single day was also a bit of a hassle. On that platform, I mainly wrote reviews about the guides.

Meillä oli upea Kultainen kolmio -kierros. Shamin, Delhin oppaamme, oli asiantunteva, ystävällinen ja kärsivällinen. Hän jakoi Delhin historiaa ja kulttuuria mielenkiintoisella tavalla ja teki vierailustamme nautinnollisen. Zeeshan, Agrassa oppaamme, oli ammattitaitoinen ja erittäin asiantunteva Taj Mahalista ja Agrasta. Hänen selityksensä ja tarinansa auttoivat meitä arvostamaan näitä uskomattomia monumentteja entistä enemmän. Hän otti todella kauniita kuvia kuin ammattilainen. Monis Ali, Jaipurin oppaamme, oli todella poikkeuksellinen ja kierroksemme kohokohta. Matkailun tohtorina hänen intohimonsa tiedon jakamiseen oli selvää alusta alkaen. Hän herätti Jaipurin historian, arkkitehtuurin ja kulttuurin eloon kiehtovilla yksityiskohdilla ja inspiroivilla tarinoilla ja auttoi meitä valokuvien kanssa. Ja kiitos kuljettajallemme Sanjulle, joka oli aina täsmällinen, luotettava ja mielellään jakoi tietoa Intiasta. Erittäin suositeltavaa!

We received no confirmation call the day before, so we approached the day with anxiety. Not knowing how to contact them, I broke out in a cold sweat, feeling desperate and wondering if our booking had been arbitrarily canceled or forgotten. The driver arrived nine minutes past the scheduled time without a single word of apology for the delay. Normally, I would expect someone to arrive a bit early and wait, but I suppose that's just how things are in India.

Tämä lippu on tarkoitettu vain Hawa Mahal -palatsin sisäänpääsyyn. Yleensä ulkomaalaisten on maksettava 600 rupiaa (noin 990 jeniä) sisäänpääsyneuvonnassa. Kun ostin sen Klookista verkossa, se maksoi noin 580 jeniä. Suosittelen tätä lippua, sillä säästät lähes 400 jeniä. Paikka sijaitsee kätevästi noin 1–2 minuutin kävelymatkan päässä metroasemalta. Luulen, ettei maksullista opasta tarvita, sillä paikan voi kiertää noin 20 minuutissa. Hinta: 580 jeniä

Amazing experience! Well-organized activity, friendly staff, and beautiful views. Highly recommended for everyone visiting!
