This tour was the highlight of our vacation. Although our guide unfortunately canceled we spent a glorious day of sunshine at beautiful places like Jaswant Thada, Desert Rock Park or Merangarh Fort. Our driver gave us some information about the places visited and we really enjoyed going through at our own pace stroll the grounds. In the Mandore Garden we even happened to be able to marvel at a ceremony at a temple. A guide is not absolutely necessary in many places, but certainly recommended for the fort.

wonderful sites to see at well paced itinerary - we were also taken to a fabulous restaurant. Only regret was that we were to taken to Rao Desert Rock Park which was part of scheduled itinerary I booked - but given a lot of free time at other places so that was a good compensation. Guide was a little difficult to understand at times but very personable and knowledgeable. Tour was kept to small group of three which makes it so nice when you are navigating tourist attractions!

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable guide. Made our trip the most memorable.
