Full-Day Jaipur Private Tour: Pink City by Car with Guide
Explore Jaipur’s major landmarks in a single day with a private car and English-speaking driver. This guided route covers Jal Mahal, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, City Palace and local markets with time for photography and short walks.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start at first light
Begin early to avoid traffic and the mid-day heat—most monuments are quieter in the morning hours.
Carry water and a refill bottle
Bottled water is often provided, but bring a refillable bottle to stay hydrated while walking between sites.
Dress modestly and comfortably
Light, breathable clothing that covers shoulders and knees helps at temples and during palace visits; comfortable shoes for uneven courtyards.
Plan market time separately
If you want to shop, set aside at least an hour for bazaars—bargaining takes time and is expected.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Historic monuments face wear from heavy tourism and Jaipur’s water scarcity; reduce plastic waste, respect site rules, and use authorised guides to support local conservation efforts.
Jaipur was laid out in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as a planned capital; its pink-painted central district was unified in color in 1876 to welcome a visiting prince.
