My Jaipur Morning Heritage Walk was delightful, full of amazing surprises and ever so interesting. It was a joy to walk around the little tiny streets, be surprised by buffalo wandering past exquisite shops and be amazed by the craftsmanship of various artisans such as a beautiful young woman making bracelets. My guide was a wonderful woman who explained the culture of Jaipur clearly and eloquently as we meandered along the little streets. I will never forget this fantastic experience as it is firmly in my memories of India. Loved it!
