Review · DELHI CITY TOURS
Colors of Rajasthan Tour Is 13 Night 14 Days Private India Tour from Delhi
A 14-day route through Rajasthan is a big deal. What makes this one especially interesting is the way it ties together Delhi plus the classic Rajasthan circuit by private AC car, so you are not bouncing between buses and schedules.
I like two things most: first, the tour includes hotel stays for 13 nights on a double-sharing basis, and you get breakfasts timed across the trip. Second, the transport setup sounds solid in real life, including round-trip transfers by private car and support when plans shift, like being flexible with the driver’s route.
The main consideration is cost drift. Monument entrance fees and camera fees are not included, so your day-to-day spending will depend on how many paid sites you want to enter and what you shoot.
Key highlights worth putting on your radar
- Private AC car transport with tolls, parking, fuel, and driver allowances handled for you
- Major-city coverage in a tight loop: Delhi, Jaipur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Ajmer, Pushkar, back to Jaipur
- Fort and haveli days that focus on architecture, not just quick photo stops
- On-the-water Udaipur break with a Lake Pichola boat tour included
- Choki Dhani evening for cultural activities early in the Rajasthan portion
- Help on the ground, with strong feedback about an organizer named Mr. Ajay Verma and fast, friendly communication
A 14-Day Rajasthan Road Trip From Delhi, With Comfort Built In
This is not a fly-in, fly-out city sampler. It is a car-first itinerary that strings together Rajasthan’s most famous stops with hotel nights in between, which matters if you hate the stress of constant logistics.
The transport part is also set up like a real travel day solution. You get all transfers and sightseeing by private AC car, and the basics that often become annoying add-ons are included: toll taxes, parking fees, fuel, and the driver’s allowances. You also get a mobile ticket and an assistance-on-arrival style start, which can reduce that first-day uncertainty.
One more practical point: it is described as a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. That usually translates to less waiting around and fewer “everyone come together at the same time” moments than big shared group tours.

Day 1 Transfer Into Delhi, Then Settle In
Day 1 is straightforward. You meet and greet on arrival at Delhi Railway Station or the airport, then transfer to your hotel. After check-in, you get an overnight in Delhi.
Why this matters: after a long flight or train ride, you do not want a scavenger hunt for your first taxi or a desk that moves you around last minute. A welcome drink is included, which is a small touch, but it can also help you get oriented faster.
Expect the day to be light on sightseeing and heavy on rest. If you are jet-lagged, this first-night buffer is a gift.
Delhi in One Big Day: From Old City Monuments to Modern Landmarks
Day 2 is a full-day Delhi sightseeing route, covering a mix of iconic landmarks:
- Jama Masjid and the Red Fort area
- Raj Ghat
- Humayun’s Tomb
- Lotus Temple (Bahai)
- Qutub Minar
- Rashtrapati Bhawan and Parliament House (listed as photo/drive-by style stops)
- Jantar Mantar
- Plus additional drive-pass style sights labeled in the itinerary
This is the kind of day that helps you understand why Delhi feels layered. You bounce between Mughal-era monuments, ancient temple architecture, and the grand government-city look.
Two practical notes:
- Entrance fees are not included, and the same goes for camera fees. Some sites may be quick photo stops only, while others could be worth paying to enter.
- A full-day Delhi itinerary can move fast. If you like to linger, plan to spend a little extra time later on return visits, or bring the mindset of seeing a lot and processing details over dinner.
Jaipur Arrival, Choki Dhani Night, and the Start of the Desert-Court Mood
On Day 3, you head from Delhi to the Pink City, Jaipur. After check-in, you get the evening at Choki Dhani with cultural activities.
This matters because Choki Dhani gives you a different angle than museum-style sightseeing. You get a social, performance-oriented night that can feel like a bridge between Delhi’s big-city pace and Rajasthan’s more theatrical traditions.
Even if you are tired, this is a good fit for an early Rajasthan evening. It is not an all-day walking push. It is more of a “show up, enjoy, and go back to your hotel” rhythm.
Jaipur Core Sights: Amber Fort, City Palace, Jal Mahal Photos, and Jantar Mantar
Day 4 is Jaipur in the classical mode: forts, palaces, and the city’s signature viewpoints.
You visit or photograph key stops including:
- Amber Fort and Palace
- Gaitore Cenotaphs (listed as Front View photo focus)
- Jal Mahal photo stop
- City Palace and Museum
- Jantar Mantar (observatory)
What I like about this plan is that Jaipur’s highlights are arranged like a story. You start with the dramatic fort experience at Amber, then you shift into the city’s royal and scientific side through City Palace and Jantar Mantar.
What to consider:
- If you want the perfect Jal Mahal moment, midday can be less flattering. The itinerary positions it as a photo stop rather than a long hangout, so you will likely work with the light you get.
- Fort-and-palace days often mean uneven stone and lots of stairways. Comfortable shoes are not optional, they are your best friend.

Bikaner and Junagarh Fort: Palaces, Museums, and the Less-Crowded Feel
Day 5 moves you to Bikaner. You check in, then spend the afternoon at Junagarh Fort. The itinerary calls out multiple areas inside the fort complex, including:
- Anup Mahal
- Gaj Mandir
- Sheesh Mahal
- Prachina Museum
- Lalgarh Palace
Bikaner is a smart choice in this route. Compared with the mega-popular stops, it can feel calmer, and Junagarh Fort gives you a deeper palace-craft experience without the constant crowds you might see in the larger “headline” cities.
The practical value here is time and focus. You are not just passing through Bikaner. You get an actual fort-based afternoon with plenty to look at.
Jaisalmer, the Golden Fort, and Haveli Stops You Can Walk Between
Day 6 is the transfer to Jaisalmer. Day 7 is the big sightseeing day, starting with Jaisalmer Fort.
The itinerary notes the fort is made by unique Golden Lime stone, which is why it is also known as the Golden Fort or Sonar Kella. After that, you visit:
- Patwon-ki-haveli
- Nathmal-ki-haveli
- Salim singh-ki-haveli
The haveli circuit is where Jaisalmer starts to feel personal. You see the way wealthy merchants and families built homes that were also statements. Even the description hints that some residences are still in use, which adds a grounded feeling compared to purely staged sites.
Tip: give yourself a little patience on haveli streets. These areas are best when you slow down for details like carved facades and doorways, not when you treat it like a sprint.
Jodhpur and Mehrangarh: The Best-Preserved Fort Experience on This Loop
Day 8 is travel to Jodhpur. Day 9 is the sightseeing day, focusing on:
- Mehrangarh Fort, described as Rajasthan’s best preserved fort
- Jaswant Thada, called a Taj Mahal-style marble cenotaph in the listing
This is the classic Jodhpur payoff: Mehrangarh is big, impressive, and built for views. The route also pairs it with Jaswant Thada, which often feels more peaceful after the bigger fort movement.
Consideration: fort days can mean long on-foot stretches. If you are carrying a camera and you want clean shots, plan to take breaks and drink water, especially as the sun can get intense depending on the season.
Udaipur’s Two-Day Rhythm: Lake Pichola Boat Tour Plus City Highlights
Day 10 brings you to Udaipur, the lake city. In the evening, the itinerary includes a boat tour over Lake Pichola.
That boat segment is a smart piece of variety. After days of forts and heritage streets, being on the water breaks the pattern and lets you see Udaipur from another angle.
Day 11 is Udaipur city touring. The listed highlights include:
- Fateh Sagar
- Maharana Pratap Memorial
- Photo stop at Nehru Garden
- Saheliyon-ki-Bari (listed as Queen’s resort for their friends)
- Sukhadia Circle (drive pass)
- Bhartiya Lok kala M… (named as Bhartiya Lok kala M in the itinerary)
This layout is practical. You get one big scenic activity in the evening, then a more “see and shoot” day for the city’s known spots.
If you like photography, you will probably enjoy the mix of gardens and memorial views, because they give you different compositions than forts do. If you do not care about photos, this still works because you get a consistent Udaipur pacing without rushing you out of town.
Ajmer and Pushkar: Dargah Visit, Then a Holy Town Reset
Day 12 is a drive to Ajmer and Pushkar. You check in after reaching the area, with:
- Ajmer Sharif Dargah as the Ajmer highlight
- Pushkar described as a holy town in Rajasthan
This is a different energy from the fort-heavy days. A dargah visit tends to be meaningful even when you are not deep into religious travel, because the atmosphere is the attraction. Pushkar, as described, is known for its spiritual identity, which can make the town feel calmer and more reflective than the big-city stops.
One caution: these places are often busy. The itinerary does not specify timing, so you might want to be ready for crowds and keep your pace flexible.
Back to Jaipur: Leisure, Local Markets, and an Easier Final Evening
Day 13 drives you back to Jaipur. After hotel check-in, the evening is free for leisure and local markets.
This is a great day to do small shopping you might have skipped earlier. It also gives you time to regroup before the final day drop back to Delhi. In a loop like this, the last full travel day can feel long, so a lighter evening helps.
If you are the type who likes gifts and last-minute souvenirs, markets are where you can actually enjoy the browsing instead of squeezing it into the middle of a full sightseeing schedule.
Price and Value: What $1,499 Per Person Buys You
At $1,499 per person for about 14 days, this sits in the “organized private road trip” category. The value depends on what you compare it against.
Here is what you are clearly getting:
- 13 nights of accommodation on a double-sharing basis
- Breakfast is included 12 times
- Sightseeing as per itinerary
- Private AC car for all transfers and excursions
- Toll taxes, parking fees, fuel, and driver allowances
- GST and government taxes
- Assistance on arrival
- Welcome drink
- Mobile ticket
What is not included is equally important:
- Monument entrance and camera fee
- Personal expenses like telephone calls, laundry, soft or hard drinks, meals
- Tipping
So the real cost picture becomes: base tour rate plus whatever entrances you choose. If you plan to enter lots of paid monuments and you want to take camera fees seriously, budget extra. If you are fine with photo stops at some sites and you keep meals simple, you will likely find the package works better.
One more value note from the feedback: people praised smooth running and professional organization. That is hard to measure on paper, but it usually shows up as fewer headaches on long travel days, which is the hidden cost saver.
The Transport and Communication Advantage, Including Mr. Ajay Verma
The reviews you provided point to the human side of this package. They highlight a driver or organizer named Mr. Ajay Verma, described as friendly, helpful, and flexible.
One detail that matters for real travel: the feedback says he was willing to use Google Maps and take you to locations even if they were not in the package. That kind of flexibility is not about doing extra sightseeing for free. It is about not feeling stuck when you want a slight adjustment.
You also see the “24-hour help” theme in the feedback. If a timing issue comes up, or you just need clarity, that support can make the tour feel less like a rigid schedule and more like a managed trip.
Who This Tour Suits Best, and When to Rethink
This tour is a strong match if you:
- Want a private feel without having to plan every leg
- Like major Rajasthan highlights in one organized loop
- Prefer car comfort over internal flights or nonstop public transport
- Enjoy a balance of forts, palaces, and scenic stops like Lake Pichola
It may be less ideal if you:
- Hate “full-day” sightseeing days and prefer slow mornings
- Want every monument fully timed and entered without extra spending
- Are sensitive to long drives between cities, because this route moves through multiple towns in 14 days
My Booking Checklist Before You Commit
To get the best result, I would do three quick checks:
- Confirm what is considered an included stop versus a photo stop for each major site, since entrance and camera fees are not included.
- Ask what hotels are planned for your dates if hotel names matter to you, since the itinerary only says accommodation is included.
- Pack for mixed surfaces and heat, since forts and havelis usually mean walking on uneven stone.
Also, think about your camera plan. Camera fees are mentioned as not included, so if photography is a big part of the trip, you will want cash or a payment plan ready for paid sites.
Should You Book This Colors of Rajasthan Tour?
If you want Rajasthan highlights in a controlled, organized private format, this is a sensible choice. The combination of Delhi’s key monuments, Jaipur’s fort-and-palace focus, Jaisalmer’s golden-stone fort and havelis, Jodhpur’s Mehrangarh and Jaswant Thada, plus Udaipur’s Lake Pichola boat tour makes the trip feel well paced for a first Rajasthan loop.
My recommendation comes down to two conditions:
- You are okay paying separately for monument entrances and camera fees.
- You like the private car comfort of an efficient route rather than a slower, independent travel style.
If that sounds like your travel mode, you will likely find this package value for money, especially with the strong communication and flexibility mentioned in the feedback.
