Riyaz was a great tour guide and driver! His tuk-tuk seems to be new and he drives very safe, I really enjoyed his company during the day. He'll take you wherever you want and if you don't know he will suggest some spots. The painting / souvenir shops we stopped by were all over priced maybe x2 or x3 so I would probably skip those.
Salim was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable on all the spots in the area and very flexible to our wants and needs. His English was near-native fluent and was very easy to converse with. Fantastic value for money - I would recommend to anyone who comes to Udaipur!
Great guide - Ghanshyam. Knew his history well and didn’t mind answering questions. The tour was timed well and covered the exact duration.
Both our driver and our guide (Gopal) were excellent, timely, easy to communicate with and knowledgable. The driver was able to provide a seamless journey to and from the City Palace (pointing out points of interest along the way) -and Gopal was able to give us great information, a great tour and take fantastic photos at the Palace.
