The tour begins with Bapu Bazar, Jaipur’s most famous shopping street.

A quick 30-minute visit lets you browse traditional cookware and decorative items, making it a good spot for those interested in authentic kitchenware or unique souvenirs.
Channi Carpets & Textiles is a must for lovers of handmade crafts. Here, you can see a wide array of silk and wool carpets in all sizes, crafted with traditional methods. We appreciated the opportunity to learn about carpet-making while browsing the intricate designs. The hour spent here feels well worth it for the quality and craftsmanship on display.
Heritage Textiles is another highlight, especially for fans of block-printed fabrics. You can purchase scarves, bed covers, cushion covers, or even get tailored dresses. The shop’s specialty in pashmina shawls adds to its appeal. The guide’s local knowledge helps you understand the different printing styles and fabric qualities, making your purchase more meaningful.
The Gem Palace on MI Road is famous for exquisite jewelry featuring rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds. If jewelry is your passion, you’ll find this shop’s collection irresistible. The experience is about appreciating craftsmanship, with a chance to see some of the most exclusive pieces Jaipur has to offer. The hour-long visit ensures you have enough time to browse without feeling rushed.
Finally, Anokhi, just a quick stop, is a renowned shop for block-printed textiles. It’s a great place to pick up souvenirs like scarves, pillow covers, and clothing, all crafted with traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations.
This private tour, priced at just $25, includes air-conditioned transportation and a local guide who knows Jaipur’s markets inside out. The flexibility in departure times—morning or afternoon—lets you choose what fits your itinerary best. With group discounts available, it’s also a cost-effective way to explore with friends or family.
The hassle-free pickup and drop-off at your hotel remove the usual logistical worries, and the private setting ensures you get tailored attention. The guide’s role isn’t just to lead you through the markets but also to help you understand the craftsmanship, advise on authentic products, and assist with bargaining. We found this particularly helpful, as it turns what could be an overwhelming shopping spree into a manageable, enjoyable experience.
Most of the stops are free to browse, though you’ll want to budget for purchases. The tour’s length varies from 6 to 10 hours, depending on how much shopping you want to do and how long you linger at each site. It’s worth noting that the tour is designed to be flexible—you can skip stops or spend more time at places that excite you.

And, because the tour is private, it avoids the chaos and distractions of larger group tours, allowing for a more relaxed, focused experience. You’re encouraged to ask questions, explore at your own pace, and really get a feel for Jaipur’s vibrant markets.
