Free walking tours in Udaipur

I had a fantastic experience on Manish’s walking tour of the non-touristic parts of Udaipur’s old city. He was incredibly friendly, approachable, and genuinely passionate about sharing his knowledge. It felt like exploring the city with a local friend rather than being on a typical tour. Manish’s insight into Udaipur and Rajasthan added so much depth to the experience, and he took me to places I would never have discovered on my own. He also gave some great recommendations that really enhanced the rest of my time in the city. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking to see a more authentic side of Udaipur.

It was a great tour, walking around local streets getting to know the real Udaipur! Thank you Manish!

Amazing tour!! Very fun and different side of the city

Really nice tour, the guide is very knowledgeable about the city, country and the culture.

It was a great tour with Manish! I learned a lot about the history of Udaipur, the daily life of the local people and the food! Super enjoyable, I recommend!!!

Great local stories. Prince was a fun and insightful guide. He answered all of our questions about Udaipur and even gave great recommendations beyond the tour.

Amazing walking tour by Prince. Very offbeat and great information given

Interesting tour through the non touristy parts of Udaipur. Would highly recommend!

If you’re in Udaipur, don’t look any further — this is the best tour you can do. In fact, it’s probably one of the best tours we’ve done in all of India. Manish is an incredible person. He is always smiling and has a very calming, peaceful energy in everything he does. You can truly tell he loves his job, and that’s always a great sign. Almost every shop we passed told us, “Oh, you’re with Manish? He’s a very good guide and a very good person.” And we can completely confirm that. He never rushed us at all and had so much patience. We ended up talking a lot, and what was supposed to be a two-hour tour turned into almost three and a half hours! But we had such a great time, sharing stories and learning about each other’s cultures. What makes his tour really special is that he doesn’t take you through the typical tourist areas. Instead, you walk through local neighborhoods, which makes you feel like you’re truly experiencing the city as a local. It’s also the perfect mix of walking, taking breaks for a delicious chai, and trying street food at places where you know the hygiene is good and the food is safe to eat. He also gives you plenty of time to take photos, enjoy the atmosphere, and really soak in the culture and the moment. Honestly, it has been one of the best — if not the best — tours we’ve done in India. The variety, the cultural insights, and the amount of knowledge Manish shares are incredible. He answered every question we had. On top of that, he makes lots of jokes and is a very funny and dedicated guide. So don’t think twice — book the tour with Manish. You won’t regret it!

I really enjoyed the tour with Manish. He told us a lot about Udaipur and showed us so much. I highly recommend the tour to everyone.

Prince (ja echter Name) ist ein netter Tourguide der einen durch die Altstadtgassen in Udaipur führt und dabei auch die ein oder andere Gasse benutzt die andere Touristen verpassen würden. Trotzdem sind wir an allen relevanten Sehenswürdigkeiten vorbeigekommen und ich habe auf Nachfrage auch sehr viele Infos bekommen über die Stadt, ihre Kultur und Geschichte. Prince kann auch auf Nachfrage sogut wie alles organisieren hier in Udaipur, also auch ein guter Kontakt für mehrere Tage.

Jay was a great guide! He walked us around Udaipur and gave us an interesting history of the city, the temples, and religion. He answered all of our questions and recommended some great movies and books so we could learn more about what we were most interested in. Would highly recommend

I highly recommend this tour of Udaipur with Manish. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to India. We visited local areas we wouldn’t know to visit, and Manish was a fantastic tour guide - really interesting and knowledgeable and every turn of the walk had something fascinating to see and experience. We have done quite a few tours and walks in India now, but this one with Manish was by far the best.

The tour with Manish was very good. After visiting the temple we walked through the the residential part of old town. Afterwards we visited the produce market and the spice market. He shared many interesting facts about Udaipur, its culture and traditions. He also bought us snacks and masala chai. Highly recommended!

Walking tour raccomandatissimo! Manish è un’ottima guida e una persona d’oro. Potrete scoprire il quartiere antico di Udaipur e scoprire molto della cultura e la storia del luogo.. non perdetevelo!

We’ve done Guru Walks in other countries and they never disappoint - today’s was just brilliant! Manesh explained what we were going to do then we did it - he answered questions; told stories and explained the history of Udaipur and its architecture. We met Udaipur people whose skills in demonstrating and manufacturing pottery, metal work, foodstuffs were exceptional. Manesh took care of them and us so we didn’t have any pressure to tip or buy. In fact he bought us masala tea and crisps! The pace was just right, lots of variety - we loved the vegetable market and we learnt a huge amount about real people, customs and culture. Manesh didn’t disappoint; insightful, patient, funny and a great guide! We highly recommended him - thanks Manesh

We had a very nice and interesting tour through the residential area of the Old Town with nice insights in culture and lifestyle. Manish showed us some local food specialties as well. Thanks a lot!

Very good tour, fully recommended

Manish provided profound cultural, historical and architectural background of Udaipur and showed both touristic and non-touristical places explaining the ordinary life of local people. I would not have seen those places on my own. This tour is a must, if you want to get to know real stunning Udaipur. Thank you Manish, dhanyavad!

Manish was an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable, polite and kind. He always made sure that we were comfortable and took us off the beaten path. Highly recommended if you want to explore the city beyond the touristy stuff!

Thank you Manish for show us the local Udaipur!!! Was an amazing experience, we recommend this tour 100% 🙂🫶

Absolutely the best thing I did in Udaipur. Manish was full of beautiful information and made sure we had an amazing time exploring together. Thank you for changing lives my friend! A an absolute must do in Udaipur!

I had a fantastic tour with Idrish! I would highly recommend. Because it was Holi, we flexed around to make the tour what would feel good with the crowds. I got to purchase spices and learn about spices. I really enjoyed seeing the city, hearing stories, and Idrish’s kindness and welcoming personality. I had such a good time that I did a tour to the countryside for sunset the next day which was also wonderful. I would definitely do again.

Manish took us on a wonderful tour of the old city! He is super professional and gave us an incredible insiders look into local culture, brought us to many places we wouldnt have found on our own, and I especially appreciated that he encouraged our interaction with the locals and artisans (in a very responsible and ethical manner- and without any feeling of expectation or pressure to buy anything!!). He explained about many aspects that I wouldnt have thought to ask about, but also answered any of our questions that we did ask. He also gave important historical context but without overloading on too much information, and i also appreciated the architecture explanations (Manish went beyond just naming a specific style (as previous guides have done) and instead pointed out different specific elements each time, which was fascinating and perfect). He also speaks wonderful English and I felt comfortable communicating with Manish easily. Lastly he showed us great spots to eat and gave us practical tips- a wonderful introduction to the city! We were a small group and in my opinion this also allowed for a great tour as well Thanks Manish!

Manish is an amazing guide! He is super kind and knowledgeable and gives a very interesting tour of Udaipur. Can absolutely recommend him & his tour if you want to get to know some background information about Udaipur.
