About Pink City Trails

A small company in Jaipur that takes the day seriously

We are a tour operator, not a booking platform. The person who reads your enquiry is the person who briefs your guide, and lives twenty minutes from the Hawa Mahal.

Who we are

Private tours, and only private tours

Your party travels alone. No strangers in the car, no coach, no departure time that was chosen to suit somebody else’s schedule.

You tell us the hour you want to start and we build the day backwards from the things that are worth arriving early for. In Rajasthan that single decision changes more than the itinerary does.

Our guides

The guide is the whole tour

A fort is a fort. What changes the day is the person walking you through it.

Every guide we work with holds a government licence for the region they work in — in India that means an examined qualification, not a badge bought online. They speak English, French, Italian, Spanish or German, and we match the language to your party rather than hoping you will manage.

Before you arrive they are briefed on who is coming, how much walking is comfortable, and whether you would rather see one thing properly than four things quickly.

Most disappointing days in Rajasthan are not caused by the wrong monument. They are caused by the wrong hour.

How a day runs

The car stays with you

Your car and driver are yours for the whole day, not for a list of drop‑offs. If the light is good you stay. If the heat wins, you sit somewhere cold for an hour and go out again at four.

Air conditioning, bottled water, and a driver who knows which gate has the shorter queue at half past eight in the morning.

Plainly

Four things we do not do

  • We do not take you shopping for commission. If you ask to see a workshop we will take you to one. Nobody is paid to steer your afternoon into a carpet showroom.
  • We do not join parties together. A private tour that quietly becomes a group of nine is not a private tour.
  • We do not hide the extras. Every tour page lists what the price includes and what it does not, before you book.
  • We do not hold your card to hold a date. You send a request, we confirm it, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the start.

Tell us what you have in mind

Dates, how many of you, and how long you have. We will tell you honestly what fits.
