This guided city tour in Jaipur lasts about five hours and covers key landmarks including the City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal, and Jal Mahal. The tour begins with a flexible pick-up from any location in Jaipur between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM in a private air-conditioned car with a professional chauffeur. The first stop is the City Palace, a former royal residence that partly still houses the royal family and partly serves as a museum. Visitors can explore courtyards, halls, and exhibits of royal costumes and artifacts. Next, the tour visits Jantar Mantar, an 18th-century observatory featuring the world’s largest stone sundial and other large instruments for astronomical observations. After Jantar Mantar, the tour continues to Hawa Mahal, a five-story palace made of red and pink sandstone with 953 small windows designed to let royal women watch street life unseen. The final stop is Jal Mahal, a palace built in the 17th century that sits partially submerged in Man Sagar Lake, offering a quiet spot for photos. The tour ends with a drop-off at the chosen location in Jaipur. Included are private local guides, entrance tickets if selected, bottled water, and transfers.
