My parents and I spent two days in Udaipur area with the help of this tour company, which provided us with a skilled driver and a guide fluent in English. Coming from the U.S., we have been touring all over Northern India. We added Udaipur at the end of our trip, with no planning beforehand. Our guide picked us up at Hotel Chunda Palace, and on the first day took us everywhere within the city. In the morning, we walked around Lake Pichola, and learned the history of the lakes and the flora lakeside. He helped us get a boat ride to Jag Mandir Island; then we saw ruins and a garden for the queens' friends. We had a dinner at Ambrai restaurant, with a stunning view of the Lake Palace and the City Palace. The following day, we went outside the city, west into the mountains. The drive to Ranakpur was fascinating, with numerous people making a religious pilgrimage walking and biking along the road to a shrine hundreds of miles away. It felt like a festival the entire 90 kms. Our guide knew all the details of the various people and the history of each monument, city, and people we encountered. It was liberating to find someone with this depth of knowledge about such a beautiful area. We really liked the trip to Ranakpur for the Fort with the Great Wall of India and the Jain Temple. Both were constructed around the same time in the 15th century -- one built to protect a people during war with foreign invaders, and the other built to encourage nonviolence and respect for all life. Along the way, we learned from our guide about the different religious philosophies, talked about cattle, dogs, camels, mongooses (?mongeese), status of men and women, and the vivid Rajasthani fashion. Great fun and also an education to boot -- I look forward to coming back and perhaps doing a tour to a second region in Rajasthan. Would use this same company again. [One more thing: I had a little trepidation before our journey about driving through the mountains, but as it turned out, we felt very safe the entire way. Our driver did not take any radical chances and was familiar with the road.]

 Excellent udaipur trip   We used Udaipur Magic Private tours after seeing the recs on tripadvisor, and were very pleased. We just did a day with our guide Prem, and he was terrific: Really knew his stuff, and was a lovely person as well. Communications with the company ahead of time were also very professional, and Yogendra gave us a call the evening before the tour to reconfirm the time and which guide would be coming. We covered the city palace, Jagdish temple, gardens and the cenotaphs (the city palace and Jagdish temple are on everyone’s itinerary for good reason, but if you have time, we’d suggest seeing the cenotaphs as well at the end of the day, when the light is particularly evocative.)  We would vote as Excellent udaipur trip . We traveled on our own to Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh, and these are must-sees (and I believe Udaipur Magic can take you there if you don’t have your own transport) - in our opinion these two sights together with Chittorgarh are the most outstanding attractions in southern Rajasthan - don’t miss them.   testimonial copied from   udaipur magic tour  tripadvisor pages  may contact guest SK DAS USA

We recently spent a fabulous 8 days in Rajasthan with Yogendra and Udaipur Magic - 2 nights in Udaipur, 2 nights in Jodhpur,1 night Pushkar, 2 nights Jaipur and almost 1 night in Agra! We booked hotels ourselves, but all the transport and site seeing was sorted for us. Yogendra was knowledgeable, friendly, kind and went out of his way to help us sort out problems that cropped up in the next part of our travels. Ratan's car was clean, reliable and we felt perfectly safe with his driving. Our itinerary changed as Yogendra got to know us better and he suggested a few alternatives that we thoroughly enjoyed. His English is excellent, and he now knows a little more about the birds we saw than when we met him! Thank you for making our holiday as good as it was, and for getting us on the train at the end!    this testimonial is original views of  a jersey girl  we have taken from our tripadvisor pages. contact udaipur magic for   more details  and  tour packages
