City Palace alone was worth the trip, but combined with Amber Fort this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Booked this as a couple trip and it was well paced. Pink City walls and gates in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to Jantar Mantar, Jaipur and Pink City walls and gates. Great communication from the consultant before departure too.

Jaipur is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Jal Mahal (exterior viewing). The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Our trip to Jaipur was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Jal Mahal (exterior viewing) was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.
