What To Expect
Tripolia Bazar
Explore the designated areas of downtown where local artisans and handicraft makers ply their trade. Photography is allowed, while watching artisans making lacquer bangles, brass and metal vessels, polishing old kitchenware, dying cloth, making terracotta lamps and intricate marble statues. You will come across book binders, iron smiths, gold smiths, roadside barbers and dentists. You’ll soak in the colours and the smells and see that traditional craftsmanship and ways of living still exist.
There will be a short tea break where we will enjoy “Masala-Chai” and some freshly cooked hot snacks. Later, we go down alleyways to find a wondrous assortment of incense and candles, wall decorative strings, natural perfume and herbal henna shops, then on to all the colours of a wedding goods bazaar where couples haggle over the price of Saris and jewellery.

This walk made us fall in love with Jaipur

5.00I highly recommend this guided tour. We were a bit overwhelmed with Jaipur until this walking tour. Kumarji very patiently and with a lot of love for his job showed us around the streets, markets, shops. He offered us to take tuktuks to some areas but we were enjoying the walk too much. We learnt so much about the history, art, culture of Jaipur- truly fascinating. We wanted to see more of the handicrafts and architechture. So he customized our tour and we walked through the streets where people worked with marble statues, Lakhh bangles, brass utensils, flower markets, etc. He showed us a lot of Frescos, explained to us the stories behind them. Also, we had amazing jalebis, samosas, bread pakodas and chai diring the walk. We wanted to buy some Jaipur block print fabrics and he took us to a beautiful shop. The tour felt safe and we did not at any point have to worry about falling into tourist traps. So, just half a day tour made our Jaipur experience quite wholesome.
Amazing Jaipur Walking Tour

5.00Kumar Ji is a brilliant storyteller. We would recommend all of our friends to take his tour, absolutely worth investing the 4 hours while you are in Jaipur. He paints an endearing picture of Jaipur and you can see that he is so passionate about the city and its heritage. We enjoyed the Sunday morning walk with him very much. He had planned the walking track so meticulously that we spent most of the time during walking in the shade while covering the lanes of old Jaipur. He asked us what handicrafts we wanted to see, and tailored the tour accordingly. The Jaipur famous snacks and chai were the highlights.
Highly recommended!

5.00This walk was such a great introduction to Jaipur for us. Our guide Kumar had great English and a great sense of humour. He introduced us to places (eating and cultural) that we never would have found ourselves, and gave us SO much fascinating information along the way. We were in a group of 8, which was a great size. I totally recommend this tour.

5.00Great tour of Jaipur - Kumar takes you thru different neighborhoods and explains the essence of each one. He also makes sure you are well fed and has go-to spots for street food. Take this tour if you're looking for something other than the must-see tourist spots. Tell him what you're interested in seeing and he'll take you there!
Must do tour in Jaipur

5.00Kumar gave us an excellent tour of Jaipur. We learned a lot about the history of Jaipur, interesting facts about Hinduism and life in Jaipur and India, saw some sights and tried great food. He brought us through markets and showed us some traditional products made and sold in Jaipur. At no point were we brought to shops or markets and persuaded to buy anything for commission which was refreshing. Would highly recommend Kumar’s tour for a comprehensive insight into the city of Jaipur and the culture of the people there. It is well worth the price.
Great insight into Jaipur, honest and knowledgeable

5.00Great tour of Jaipur’s streets and old quarters. In a few blocks, Kumar had already covered a number of topics including symbols, religion, traditions, etc. my understanding of life in Jaipur is much better thanks to Kumar’s knowledge and openness to answer any questions. Plus at no point do you feel like you are being dragged into specific shops for a commission, which is a welcomed change! Highly recommended.
Must do tour for anyone visiting Jaipur.

5.00Amazing tour guide who really helped us understand how people live and work around Jaipur. Affectionately talked about Indian religions and beliefs. We really felt that we saw India with a different set of eyes. A must do tour for any intrepid traveller or someone on a whistle stop visit to Jaipur.

5.00The guide was knowledgeable, courteous and took care to give us a good explanation of various aspects of life in the city as well as provide us with a great experience - sights, eats, travel, pray, shop.
Wish this had happened earlier in our Indian tour!

5.00We had a great time on the Jaipur Cultural Walking Tour with Kumar today (Sunday 12 January 2025). He is intelligent, genuine, knowledgeable and entertaining. No encouraging us to go to shops to earn a commission.There was great and safe guidance with tasty street food. Our only regret is that this wasn’t earlier in our 3 week tour of Rajasthan. We highly recommend this tour, especially for those like us from another culture (Australian).
