Jaipur is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Nahargarh Fort. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Jantar Mantar, Jaipur alone was worth the trip, but combined with Jal Mahal (exterior viewing) this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Our trip to Jaipur was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Johari Bazaar was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.
