The experience

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel or airport, then heads into the Pink City to the Flower Market as vendors set up their stalls. From there, the e-rickshaw takes you past Hawa Mahal, the five-story sandstone structure with its 953 small windows, and on to Jantar Mantar, the 18th-century astronomical observatory with the world's largest stone sundial. You'll see the City Palace complex, which still houses the royal family, and pass Jal Mahal, the Water Palace floating on Man Sagar Lake.

The tour includes a stop at local factories and warehouses where women artisans work with carpets, embroidered fabrics and handcrafted goods. You watch the skilled work firsthand and learn how these pieces are made. The e-rickshaw is electric, so the ride is quiet and produces no emissions as it navigates the city streets.

Your guide provides commentary throughout the morning, and the tour wraps at Albert Hall Museum, which holds ancient coins from the Gupta, Kushan, Delhi Sultanate, Mughal and British periods, along with paintings, jewelry, carpets, ivory carvings and stone sculptures. Bottled water is provided, and you get complementary tea, coffee or lassi with a samosa during the tour. The money you spend goes directly to the women drivers and their families. Many are widows or sole earners supporting households on what they make from these rides.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.

What is the Flower Market like when we arrive in the morning?

The Jaipur Flower Market transforms at dawn as vendors set up stalls with blooms in every color. You'll see an array of vibrant flowers and scents filling the market. It's the opening stop of the tour, before heading to the walled city landmarks.

Can we enter Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar, or do we just see them from outside?

Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar entry fees are not included in the tour price, so you view these landmarks from the e-rickshaw and hear about them from your guide. If you want to enter either one, you can arrange that separately or ask your guide about options on the day.

What happens at the artisan factories and warehouses?

You stop at local factories and warehouses where women artisans create carpets, embroidered fabrics and other handcrafted items. The tour includes a visit where you can watch the skilled work and learn about the pieces being made, giving you a direct look at the craftsmanship behind the goods.

Does the tour include entry to Albert Hall Museum?

Albert Hall Museum is the final stop on the tour, but entry to the museum itself is not included in the tour price. Your guide will show you the building and explain what's inside (ancient coins, paintings, jewelry, carpets and sculptures from various historical periods), and you can decide whether to purchase entry on the day.

How does the e-rickshaw differ from a regular auto-rickshaw?

The e-rickshaw is electric, so it runs quietly and produces no emissions as it moves through Jaipur's streets. It seats passengers comfortably and is the standard transport for this tour, driven by women who earn their living operating these vehicles.
