Summary:
Loved this experience! Yash (our guide) was terrific - warm and funny as well as super-knowledgeable. He showed us the most famous sites, but also beautiful places that are not as well visited by the mass tourism set. He was also super-accomodating to our requests (like stopping for stamps, which was an adventure of its own). The driver Guman was excellent, too - careful and always ready when we were. Thanks again!

Summary:
Our driver Hansraj from V Care Tours was a real blessing. Over a period of about a week, he drove us through Jaipur, to Ranthambore, and finally dropped us off in New Delhi.
Hansraj drove us around in a very clean and non-damaged car (very rare in India), which was prepared to everyone’s comfort with hand sanitiser, tissues, water, and candies. He was able to make us feel safe in the terrible city traffic and even in the nightly country roads (with surprise animal crossings everywhere). Moreover, he took initiative in being on time, proposing alternative and better routes and showed his skills as a tour guide with detailed knowledge of everything we saw.
Most importantly, Hansraj is a very kind man, with a great sense of humour, a trustworthy friend.

Summary:
Narender picked up a group of us after a very long flight. We drove overnight from New Delhi to Jaipur in order to make it for a wedding that day. Driver stopped a few times for rest breaks and we made great timing! After the wedding we were picked up at the wedding venue and driven to various points in Jaipur that we wanted to see and finally dropped off at the airport. Driver was friendly, professional and accommodating. The cars were spacious, comfortable with wifi and air conditioning. Would definitely book again!
Thanks for everything!
