Best blue City walking tour - Bantu is an exceptional guide with in-depth local knowledge that you won't find in a travel brochure. I highly recommend his walking tour. Bantu's English speaking is perfect and the walking tour is not rushed with plenty of time for detailed information, asking questions and enjoying local street food, sweets and masala chai. It was a wonderful experience and I will be recommending it to all my friends and family who visit Jodhpur.

Book a private tour for your arrival - We called Bantu last minute and he picked us up from our hotel for a private 2 hour tour. It was a fantastic introduction to Jodhpur. We saw backstreets and met locals and enjoyed every minute. Book a private tour for when you first arrive and it will set you up for your whole stay.

Excellent experience with Bantu! - Our private walking tour of Jodhpur with Bantu was excellent. We contacted him ahead of the trip, via Whatsapp and he was very responsive. On the day of the tour, he came to meet us at our hotel, perfectly on time. He has a very kind and calm manner, his English is excellent, he is very knowledgeable and a true pleasure to talk to. He made sure that we were ok with the amount of history and facts he was sharing with us, open to any question and tailored the tour to our needs. We were really glad we engaged him for this tour as we would not have ventured in the narrow streets of Old Jodhpur without him. Bantu guided us patiently through the wonderful maze of old shops, where we could see bangle-makers or the lovely gentleman who repairs the sewing machines (yes!), historical buildings, blue facades and lanes, helping us with pictures as well, up to a breath-taking panoramic viewpoint at the feet of the Fort, where we had drinks (needed after the little climb!) while admiring the city at sunset. He will ask you if you are interested in seeing specific shops but he will not pressurize you into going - we appreciated his attitude. We actually chose to visit an antiques/textiles shop as we had not had the time to do any shopping up to that point and, even if it can be a bit time-consuming (we expected it so just went with the flow and enjoyed the experience), we went for it and actually bought a few items. We loved our tour with Bantu and we would 100% recommend his services - thank you!

Walking tour with a local - The walking tour with Bantu was excellent. He showed us some beautiful hidden gems, great for pictures, and told us stories and insights. He is a true local with deep knowledge of the history of the place and you can really feel that. There is no way you can get such insider view without a local. Highly recommended.

Beyond just a tour guide… - Bantu was beyond a tour guide, he was reliable, sweet, super knowledgeable, very welcoming and made my solo trip to this city an amazing one. He doesn’t just give you the internet information but knows beyond that. He’s well read and it shows in his in depth knowledge Must book with Bantu if you want the authentic experience

Walk to the blue city afternoon tour with Bantu. - We really cannot recommend Bantu enough. Definitely the best tour we have done in India so far, an unmissable highlight of our time in Jodphur. It was the making of our short but sweet stay in Jodphur, as we felt like we really got to experience the heart of this beautiful city - from the people and the culture, to the history and street food. No question went unanswered and no request was too big. Bantu catered to the kind of tour we wanted and was extremely informative. We loved every moment with him, and hope he can continue to share this city with many others! Thank you Bantu!

Jodhpur highlights - Looking back at my photos from last year's trip to India, I felt the need to review this great tour as it was definitely one of the highlights of the time we spent in Jodhpur. Bantu was a great host; interesting and informative. We learned a great deal about the history and inhabitants of the blue city plus, very importantly, where to find the most amazing local treats - the tastiest chai, creamiest lassis plus the samosas of dreams!
