Thanks to Anu for the wonderful and interesting tour this morning in the old City of Jaipur. Perfect combination of learning and discovering. Perfect !

My wife and I had a guided tour of some of Jaipur’s markets and artisan’s shops located in it’s many side streets. This busy evening walk took both shops and local vendors selling food which allowed us to sample what was on offer. There were paper makers, fabric sellers, a lot of shops catering for wedding apparel which gave us an insight into the regional culture. Our guide was very knowledgable and introduced us to life lived by local people.

Pranshu took us on a fascinating tour through the streets of old Jaipur where you can only go by foot! We tasted different foods and saw the many trades that have settled here up to 150 years ago. We saw building for the merchants given by the king in 1780s and still lived in today. We would never have seen such sites from a bus or a car. He was very friendly and knowledgable on all aspects of Jaipur life and smoothly took us from place to place. He knew the merchants and their present as well as the past. It was great fun, very educational and good exercise! A super guide leading us gently on a great tour made for an excellent experience! Thanks Pranshu!!

Kumkum was an excellent young guide who explained history and general trade of Jaipur in a very pleasant manner. She also was very aware of our safety and appreciated that we, as an elderly couple, had to take the tour quite slowly and arranged for our trip to end just a little early with a tuk tuk trip back to our driver when we tired. A good tour.

A fabulous tour guide with an exceptionally detailed understanding of the rich history of the market, Anumita colorfully described vendor after vendor. At literally every turn she explained all facets of the area, vendors and relationships to Jaipur culture. Anumita is a walking encyclopedia of Jaipur tradition! The bazaar is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting Jaipur! We only spent a couple of hours, but would recommend as much time as your schedule allows.

Pranshu is a wonderful guide, knowledgeable, interesting, entertaining and looked after us beautifully. We finished the tour understanding a lot more than when we started!! Thanks again.

We can’t recommend the cooking experience highly enough. It was wonderful to walk around the local vegetable market with Akshat,choosing the vegetables we wanted to try later. We then went back to his home, met his lovely wife and his parents. Before we knew it we felt like one of the family, cooking alongside them, following their directions. The food was delicious and we learned a lot. Thank you so much to you all for making us feel so very welcome. This was, for sure, a highlight of the holiday which will stay in our memories for ever.

We did the Bazaar, Cuisine and Crafts of Old Jaipur walk with Anshu around mid-February and had a wonderful time learning about the history of the crafts people and industry in Jaipur, as well as architectural details of buildings in the area and the other interesting information Anshu imparted. The food stops along the way were delicious and it was an enjoyable tour. Would recommend to anyone interested learning more about the history and culture of this fascinating part of Jaipur.

Enjoyed a really informative couple of hours walking the old streets of Jaipur. The colours in the shops, the sounds of the hustle and bustle of the streets and sampled some tasty savoury and sweet snacks. Lots of information about life in Jaipur, time passed so quickly and we would definitely recommend.

We walked around Jaipur bazaar with Pranshu. He was a great guide, very enjoyable to walk with. We got to try a lot of fun food, very tasty. Would recommend him as a guide!!

Excellent tour with Manali, knowledgeable, fun and caring. Would highly recommend. Loved visiting and interacting with the local shop keepers and seeing streets only accessible by walking.

Lovely guide, Kumkum, who was very knowledgeable and an absolute delight. We saw many colourful sights including people making the “paint bombs” for Holi

A delightful evening started with Sonal taking us round to her local market. She asked us whether or not we wanted to go vegetarian or non-vegetarian. We chose the former because our experience of India is how good people are at making interesting vegetarian dishes. She then allowed us to explore all the fruits & vegetables in the market, before purchasing. Many are similar to those in the UK, but there are others as well… and the carrots are red here… at this time of year. We returned to her house, met the rest of the family, her husband & in-laws, who are all very engaging, before getting on with the cooking. All of it starts with mustard oil & frying, on a gas hob. It’s made more efficient & faster by extensive use of pressure cookers… they have 7. Great chat along the way & then we all sat down for a delicious home cooked meal. After all that, my wife tried on a Sari. Great additional experience that made her feel fantastic Thanks for a lovely evening!

We did the tour with Anuminta who proved a knowledge and informative guide. We learned a lot about Rajasthani and Hindi customs as well as the wonderful haveli, even going inside one to watch turbans being made. We enjoyed the tasty snacks and the fascinating background information about how they are made. Anuminta took great care of us, especially crossing the busy roads. We would recommend her as a guide.

We both enjoyed our experience cooking with Sonal and chatting and eating with her family. We first went to purchase fresh vegetables from her local market. We were then treated to Masala tea and homemade savoury snacks whilst chatting to her mother and father-in-law. This was followed by chopping and cooking under Sonal's supervision - Dahl, aubergine dish, mixed vegetable curry & cumin rice. Her traditional way of cooking using various pressure cookers proved a tasty way to eat. She is passionate about cooking with fresh vegetables every day and sharing her enjoyment. We had a very relaxed sociable evening.
