We did a heritage walking tour with Lalu. We recommend him very strongly as he is very knowledgeable and makes sure one has a good time with him. He does not rush through the walk. He is very proud of his culture and passionate about his work.

We were recommended this tour with Lalu and we were so glad that we booked with him as we had such a lovely morning learning about Jaisalmer and the fort. Lalu is very friendly, funny and welcoming. He explained the history of the fort extremely well and also answered lots of questions about local life and culture. Lalu was also very helpful with recommending local restaurants in the area and assisting with a lovely camel trip and sunset ride. We would really recommend Lalu as a guide in Jaisalmer - 10/10 :)

We were recommended to book with Lalu by friends and family who visited Jodhpur shortly before us and so we booked on. From our very first message Lalu was extremely helpful and excited to take us on a tour and also gave a helping hand to any questions we had about the area … even where to watch the football! We were picked up by Lalu at our hotel and he planned the route to beat the crowds, get the best lighting for all the photos and to stop off for lunch. Lalu has fantastic knowledge of the area, its history in the silk route and how the town evolved over time. Having a degree in english literature Lalu can speak english very well and his german is great too! He took us to all the sights and made sure we didn’t waste money on certain things which are currently tourist traps or still being restored and therefore not much to see. I seriously recommend Lalu as a tour guide in Jaisalmer and if you book with him he will treat you like a good friend and help you organise your stay and trip beyond as best as possible! Thanks lalu!!!!

Lalu ji or I can better say lalit ji is such a great man and a knowledgeable person that he will explain each and every details perfectly. He also lives in the Jaisalmer fort which quite exciting. I went there and meet Lalu ji as he was my guide but believe me it never felt like guide to me. It felt like he is my family member and he just want us to enjoy the trip as much as we can. We even did a lunch together. If you connect with him once you will never forget his personality and humbleness. I will always prefer him as my guide where ever I go.

Jain temples inside the fort. Lalu ji gave us all the background information which was very interesting. Walking around the city with all the tidbits and seeing him interact with the locals. He pointed us to places where we can buy or not buy souvenirs. He made the walk enjoyable and educational. I had my old parents (85yrs) with me and he managed the walk with stops and rest nicely. I would recommend hiring him as a guide to anyone interested in touring Jaisalmer city. You will save time and you will get lot more out of the time spent. We also had debates with him on God/religion etc while eating samosas and onion kachoris inside fort restaurant 🙂

Lalu is one of best tour guide we have came across. He was very knowledgeable and gave us exceptional insights about the place. Lalu has a very good sense of humour and kept the entire walk very interesting. There was never a dull moment in the entire walk and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Strongly recommended!

We booked a walking tour of Jaisalmer (including fort and havelis) during our visit in November of 2022. It was a great introduction to the city and the history behind one of the most interesting places in Rajasthan. As a guide, Lalu was very knowledgeable and his family has been living in the Jaisalmer fort for many generations so you'd be hard pressed to find a more authentic local guide. He has a good sense of humor and many excellent stories to tell. But most importantly, he is honest in recommending which places to visit, where to buy clothing and souvenirs, and which paid entry monuments are worth paying for. It can be hard as a foreign tourist in India to trust anyone (including tour guides) as often commission is paid by shops or there is some other scheme involved. Lalu is forthcoming about these practices but does not participate in or condone them -- he just wants to share his knowledge and experience and perhaps in return learn something himself. He also went beyond what we expected by giving us written breakfast street food recommendations for the next day and taking us by motorbike to Gadisar Lake hours after the formal tour had ended because the lighting for photos was better then. Overall, Lalu is a great guide and you'll have a great time seeing the best bits of Jaisalmer and learning some really cool bits of history. COVID has hit the tourism industry hard especially for foreign tourists, so if you're visiting Jaisalmer don't hesitate to book Lalu on TripAdvisor for a reliable local perspective.

Lalu was a fantastic, knowledgeable, and entertaining guide. He is someone whose family lives in the fort and has an innate understanding od the city. Get ready for a great mix of architecture, history, cultural tidbits and also some excellent shopping recommendations all in the span of a couple hours! A wonderful way to get to know Jaisalmer and begin to appreciate this unique and beautiful city.

We had great experience walking around Jaisalmer fort and the various heritage places around. The guide is very friendly, knowledgeable and caring in nature. He explained all the historical facts with great zeal.

Lalu bhai is not only a superb guide to the city of Jaisalmer but an excellent person to know . He is full of information and knowledgeable.

Lalu is an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, friendly & on time. Very trustworthy guy. Also he found good car driver for us. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide for Jaisalmer.

Amazing guide in Jailsamir. Lots of knowledge about the town and great at handling guests. He gave me and my fam a tour of the town. Was honest and helpful

Lalu was a great guide, and very accommodating given that we had four small children in tow! I can only recommend him highly!

I read every (I mean EVERY) review of Lalu before I emailed him. They're all great. Glowing. His guests loved him! So it seemed certain we'd have a fantastic experience. We did. Lalu is brilliant. He put up with my many emails sorting out details. He met and greeted us at the train station. Joined us for a bite to eat. Offered stellar advice about things to do. Oh - and of course he's a knowledgeable, savvy guide, who's completely fluent in English, happens to have some Masters Degrees and loves what he does. He knows the local area intimately and he sorted our driver and car for the next two days after we left Jaiselmer. Thanks Lalu - we appreciate everything and we look forward to confirming your hat size with you sometime soon. Cheers - Adrian

Lalu was a fantastic guide! Authentic, knowledgeable, friendly, sharing stories from this city that no written guide can give you. It was one of our highlights during our whole trip in India. We would recommend his services to anyone who wishes to visit Jaisalmer the right way.
