About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Denise R0 contributionsFABULOUS ON EVERY LEVELWhat an AMAZING experience with Reena and her family! Priceless on every level. Wonderful food, lesson, and local experience.Written 17 November 2024
- Sightseer525206679650 contributionsExceptional Guide for an Unforgettable Jodhpur ExperienceI contacted Ram before our trip, drawn by his excellent reviews, he exceeded every expectation. Not only did he help us organize our time in Jodhpur, but he also offered invaluable tips for our entire journey through Rajasthan and recommended trustworthy guides in the other cities we visited. Ram listened carefully to my ideas and tailored an itinerary that perfectly fit our family’s needs. He was discreet, always punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. Seeing him greet us with a warm smile at the start of each day was a joy. Since we were traveling with children, he thoughtfully adjusted the pace to suit them, making the experience comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Our time in Jodhpur was unforgettable. Ram knows the city’s hidden gems, including the best local restaurants, and he arranged a fantastic jeep tour of the Bishnoi Villages. We wish we’d had enough time to do a cooking class with his family—hopefully, we’ll get to return to Jodhpur someday to make that happen! One more thing: Ram is a fantastic photographer and captured some beautiful family moments for us. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to experience Jodhpur and Rajasthan in an authentic, thoughtful way.Written 9 November 2024
- _M258MR0 contributionsA great tour with RamWe went to the fort with Ram and it was truly wonderful experience. The tour was interesting and fun, not too long not too short. Ram answered all our questions and was patient and kind. We recommend highly!Written 23 October 2024
- Dieter v0 contributionsA must visit cooking experience in JodhpurWonderful artistic family organising a unique experience. You learn about the Indian Cuisine and the unique connection they have with their food. Everything was home made (even some spice mixes). It was like being invited to their home to come and have dinner with them. They showed us how everything is made and gave us the recipes. The eldest daughter of the family is an artist at heart, and even did some Henna! All in all a wonderful experience 10/10 recommend.Written 15 July 2024
- danielledJ3665ZD0 contributionsVery professional at a great price!Great price, very professional and accommodating! We had originally scheduled one full day of touring, but the weather got very hot so they were flexible and let us split it into two half days which was much appreciated! Great history of the fort!Written 5 April 2024
- murciera0 contributionsGreat Cooking Class !!We took a cooking class with Reena and her family and it was a great time! We learned a lot about Indian cuisine, and above all we had a great time! Reena then sent us the recipes so we could make them at home. It was great!Written 30 March 2024
- Tyler F0 contributionsAmazing fort and excellent guideRam was our guide for Jaswant Thada and Mehrangarh Fort. He gave an excellent tour of each and included all kinds of history and cultural information. He ensured we saw all the neat things and got good photos. He also walked us down from the fort into town back to our hotel, which was something we really wanted to do. It was much closer than we realized.Written 24 March 2024
- Connector6693380 contributionsDelicious simple cooking classExcellent simple informal cooking class in Jodhpur. Reena is an excellent cook and showed me some great recipes that I can't wait to try again. The food was all delicious, I can't say what I liked best because everything was so good. Also very nice was the daughter who helped her mother with the translation and told me a little about her life and Indian customs and traditions.Written 22 March 2024
- Connector6693380 contributionsAmazing tourRam is a great person as well as an excellent guide. he is able to tailor the tour for your needs. He really knows everything about the city and you can ask him anything. I really recommend the tour to everyone not only for the fantastic things you can see, but also for the chance to talk to a local person who is eager and interested to hear your story and tell his own.Written 22 March 2024
- MairiMorrison960 contributionsExcellent cooking class with lovely familyExcellent cooking class with lovely family. Reena and her family welcomed us into their home and gave us a great lesson on cooking some local dishes. We even got to see some of her daughters’ drawings which were amazing. We can’t wait to try to recreate the dishes for our friends and families when we get home.Written 2 March 2024
- archieo6620 contributionsHighlight of our time in JodhpurHad an amazing time cooking with the whole family. The food was fantastic, and they were incredibly welcoming. They also shared the recipes with us afterwards, which was very helpful. It has been the highlight of our time in Jodhpur and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning how to make Indian food.Written 26 February 2024
- Y9512RFbetha0 contributionsA fantastic way to see more of the city!Loved this tour! Going by motorbike to explore the city in the morning is a uniquely immersive experience and it was such a wonderful way to soak in more of this beautiful city. There was so much to see and do on this tour! Yummy street food (and chai!), hidden streets, murals, haveli and temples- this tour has it all- and I felt so fortunate to experience so much of the blue city with our lovely guide Ram. His knowledge of religion, local life and history as well as his outgoing and kind personality helped this tour stand out- and for me, I remember this tour as a highlight of our holiday in Rajasthan. My friend and I deeply enjoyed this tour. Thank you lots.Written 23 February 2024
- Y9512RFbetha0 contributionsFelt at home and welcomed- couldn't have asked for a better experience!I had such a lovely time. My friend and I joined this cooking class- and wow!!! The family was incredibly nice, they were so warm and friendly- they did everything they could to help us feel welcomed. When we admitted that we had little to no cooking skills, they were so kind and patient with us! I felt no nervousness and really just enjoyed the experience! There's nothing that can compare to cooking with a family when overseas- this is was a true moment of feeling at home in another country- and I felt so fortunate to have this experience. But the true test is eating the food- and gosh it did not disappoint! The food was SO DELICIOUS and I found myself coming back for not one, or two but three serving top ups! If you are looking to do a cooking class in Jodhpur, supporting and meeting this lovely family is the way to go :)Written 23 February 2024
- caraawrightt04050 contributionsGreat family cooking class!This cooking class was incredible!! i’ve never had such delicious food in my life and that is all thanks to the incredible Reena who showed us all the steps to making it as we went. The class was engaging and interactive and Reena was clearly very knowledgeable and skilled in cooking. I especially loved the rice dish and creamy onions 😋 Reena and her family were also very hospitable and we enjoyed chatting with them before and after the class. What an incredible experience , and cannot wait to see this lovely family again😊😊Written 19 February 2024
- caraawrightt04050 contributionsExciting and a unique opportunity !!Me and my friend took this motorbike tour and loved it! We learnt lots about the history of Jodhpur with Ram and enjoyed seeing all the hidden treasures and beauty of the city as well as trying local sweets, snacks and chai😍 By taking a motorbike tour, we were able to see more of the city and all the bustling markets in the early morning too. This was such a great experience and was elevated by Ram’s extensive knowledge and joyful personality! also to be noted that Ram was a very safe driver. Dont miss out on this tour !Written 16 February 2024

We were extremely fortunate that the audio guides at the fort were unavailable when we visited as it meant that we got to meet the fabulous Ram. Not only did he give an excellent tour of the fort itself, we also got to spend the rest of the day with this incredibly knowledgeable, interesting, polite and funny guide. Whilst my family took to the zip-wires to do the flying fox experience (also recommended) I was able to spend more time with Ram, hearing about the history of the blue city and the cultural highlights of Jodhpur. Ram took us on one of the best walking tours I have been on - he seemed to know every nook and cranny, pointed out all the stunning architectural features and we even had time for tea with one of the street chai wallas. Ram built the tour around our wants and needs, we didn't want to visit the bazars or do any shopping, but if we had wanted to he would have done so. I wholeheartedly recommend contacting Ram if you're planning a visit to Jodhpur as his knowledge is extensive and there's no way we would have found half the places he took us if we'd set out on our own. Thank you for a wonderful day Ram.

My friend and I had a fantastic time exploring the Blue City with Ram. He had wonderful stories, history, and knowledge of the city and of the neighborhoods we explored. We met wonderful shop owners and tasted amazing food! We wandered through backstreets and areas that felt wonderfully off the beaten track. Ram was generous, thoughtful, and

My girlfriend and I had a great time with Ram. He came and met us outside our hotel and we spent a couple of hours walking around the old city. He had a great route planned out, exploring the back streets with lots of interesting things to see and good photo opportunities. He's also just a great guy to spend a couple hours with, very knowledgable and friendly and seems to know a lot of people around the place, and we had a lot of fun. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is visiting Jodhpur, especially to do early in your trip so you get a good feel for the place before maybe doing some further exploring on your own.

Early morning makes Jodhpur special. With Ram walking throught the blue city was fascinating.He will bring you to places where you never would walk. Jodhpur has many faces,Ram will show you his city in a very kind way. You start the tour as a tourist and end it as a friend.

Ram Niwas is a genuinely lovely person and so is his whole family. The city walk was excellent and gives you the highlights of the Blue City’s incredible architecture without you having to hunt it out yourself. Talks to people on the street who want to show you their homes too. We definitely stopped at 2 other houses of people he just met along the way. (I can tell because I speak Hindi and can understand the Marwari dialect they’re speaking) and got to see some incredible wood carved havelis inside peoples homes. He has also some rooftop views he shares as well to give you the full experience.
His wife also offers a cooking class which I found out about later. What I loved most was that while traditionally, one might offer payment to the man in the house, he declined and asked that I hand the money directly to his because he wanted her to feel like she was supporting the family and she earned it, not him. That sort of approach is worth its weight in gold to me.

Ram met my fiancé and I the night before when we went to his family's house for a cooking class, and we enjoyed his company so much we met him at 7.30 the next morning for a walking tour! We loved Ram's unique insights to the city, especially around Navchokliya and the fort-- Ram pointed out so many cool spots like a peaceful lake by the fort entrance, Anish Kapoor's house, and SO MUCH BLUE!! <3 We went to a Shiva Temple before Ram took us to have chai and samosas at the best place in the city, then we ended our tour near Clocktower. Ram pointed out some food stops for us to check out sweets on our walk back to our hotel and introduced us to his friend Dinesh, who had an incredible array of spices, attars, & incense at his shop. We highly recommend taking this tour!! It was such a great way to see the city and learn about everyday life in Jodhpur from Ram, who has been in the professional tourism industry for years and truly knows where the best of everything is. We recommend this to everyone!!

Ram is the BEST…. If you are considering a walking tour, do not hesitate. Book it. Ram is so knowledgeable, interesting, fun and very thoughtful. He intuitively assessed our level of interest and adapted the tour as we went to ensure we loved every minute. We are well travelled and have done many guided tours. Ram’s tour was by far the best we have done. Ram is honest and will go above and beyond to help you. It’s hard to pick a highlight of the day… the beautiful hidden streets of the blue city, chai with locals by the Banyan tree, temples, shopping, laughing, having my first jelebi (much to Ram’s delight), the cooking class at his home with his wife and daughters at the end of the day…. all so special. But really, the highlight was Ram. He made a magical day happen. Thank you Ram 🙏🏼

Without Ram, our Blue City walk could have been very boring and uneventful. Thanks to Ram, he took us to the hidden gems in the Blue City and made this trip very memorable.
When we reached Jodhour, the city had received massive rains only few days back, resulting in floods across the city. Ram was considerate enough to take us to only those spots in the city where there was no flooding.
He is a great photographer as well and clicked some amazing pics of us in the right spots and right angles.
Not only that, Ram recommended us many other places to visit in the city purely out of his own experience, and glad we said yes to them! We ended up visiting hidden gems in the city such as Khaas Bagh (a vintage car museum), Maharani Emporium (age old handicraft & fabric shop). Thanks Ram for making our Jodhour trip very memorable and fun!

We had a fantastic experience with Ram! Really friendly guy who shares his love for his city by showing you hidden gems and pointing out details in the building that we would not have noticed. He showed us to the best views of the city, helped us take fabulous photos, and gave us useful tips for the rest of our stay. Because of him we have very fond memories of Jodhpur. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!
