About
This tour leaves from Jodhpur and takes you to the beautiful Jain Temple in Ranakpur. The temple took 65 years of careful construction because of the complexity of the structure. The basement of this colossal temple is spread over 48,000 sq-ft. There are four entrances to the main chamber where the idol of Adinath is placed. In addition, there are also five pillars in the temple and each holds idols of various Tirthankaras. The biggest pillar, standing in the center of all others, holds an idol of Adinath. After visiting the temple, you will be taken to Udaipur, where this tour concludes.

Used this company today to transfer from our hotel in Jodhpur to Udaipur, via the famous Jain temple in Ranakpur. Everything went perfectly. I made the reservation a couple of weeks in advance (with option of free cancellation up to 24 hours before date).
Communication was good, they emailed me to confirm, and again via Whatsapp two days beforehand. The driver arrived at the hotel 15 minutes early and phoned to say he was ready when we were, and was very polite and had good information. He made a couple of extra interesting stops for us, one at the unusual "motorbike temple" (free!) which was just a few minutes, a stop at a local roadside chai vendor, and another so for lunch at a nice restaurant in the mountains which was very reasonably priced and had both Indian and western food. We had a delicious egg curry which cost 300 rupees (£3). He also pointed out some other interesting things (best was trees with huge bats sleeping, where we stopped for photos). The price I paid via GetYourGuide was same as offered through the agents in Jodhpur, plus I earned Avios in the booking so was really happy.
There was no pressure to agree to any unwanted stops, and we were welcomed to request any other ad hoc stops if we wanted photos etc. I have no hesitation in recommending this service - 5 stars! *****

Virendra drove us from Jodhpur to Udaipur. Before the trip he contacted us introduced himself, left a contact number and arranged a pick up point a few minutes from our accommodation located in a street too narrow for cars! He immediately helped us as he saw us arriving and put our luggage safely in the boot.
After 29 days in India and having numerous encounters with with guides, tuk tuk drivers and hotel staff we would rate Virendra very highly . His knowledge was strong and we were able to ask him numerous questions and found his responses clear and helpful.
He had a good understanding of English and answered questions about the landscape, nature, understanding some areas of the culture/ Hinduism that he clarified and although we were keen to get to our destination swiftly he would have stopped for phots had we asked !
I would highly recommend Virendra, ask for him when you book as he certainly helped in making our onward journey smoother!

Ganesh our driver was helpful and kind. He talked to us a lot, answered our questions and played Rajasthani music for us in the car. He is a good skilled driver that we could trust. We met at their office in Jodhpur and he dropped us off very close to our hotel in Udaipur. On the way, we stopped at the Ranakpur temple which was simply amazing and at a restaurant Ganesh recommended for lunch, where we had a nice tasty meal. We’re happy to have met Ganesh and for choosing this company for our transfer to Udaipur.

Our driver was very competent and clearly knew the road well, slowing down for judder bars and other obstacles that others might not have noticed. His English was good enough to understand what we were saying, though it was sometimes hard to understand him. The car was comfortable and nicely air-conditioned, and swallowed our luggage nicely. After the temple, he suggested a nice restaurant for a late lunch or early dinner.
However, as another reviewer noted, the road as you come out of the hills towards Udaipur is not in good condition. Especially going through the villages, it is full of holes, making for a slow and bumpy drive. This is not the fault of the company, of course; merely something to beware of. With modest breaks for the temple and the restaurant, it took us about seven hours to make the trip.

Happy with the driver service. Suresh was nice and got us there in good time (approx 7.5 hours total).
While I know this tour was via Ranakpur temple, which was a very nice Jain temple, I didn't realise that the roads leading from the temple to Udaipur were quite poor. We spent nearly 2 hrs on bumpy, gravel paved roads until we reached the highway/main road to Udaipur.
I would question whether it's actually worth it to go via the temple but that's my personal opinion. Overall I couldn't fault the organisation of the tour, driver was there early, and even stopped for lunch on the way. Only downside was the subpar roads - something to keep in mind if you aren't a great car traveller.

Our driver started by telling us he was hangover, then stopped 15min to get a juice to wake up.... But our pain just started, as on the 6 hours total of the trip, he spent 3 hours on the phone arguing with his boss and potential clients. We started to argue with him about safety issues and the nonstop disturbance that we’d rather avoid for a private trip at that price (3000), having him yelling at the phone all along But it just kept going. He even stopped on the side of the highway to take a call after we pointed out the safety issue of calling while driving.....
We had a quick stop at a very expensive restaurant lost in the middle of nowhere, and even though we asked for not staying long as he wanted a lot of time on the first half with dozen of small stops to get his juices, snacks, cigarettes etc... we still took 45 mins, which was not crazy short either, but had to wait for him another 20mins to finish his lunch......
Worst part, once finally arrived, he started asking about his tip that we obviously were not very willing to give, being extremely insistent and annoying, so just gave up, tired of fighting the whole day with him, with something very minimum, but so he could let us finally go to our hotel....
Maybe just an extremely bad experience with a single driver, but definitely our worst day in our whole Indian trip, very upset about the service quality for the price paid, never seen that, be careful with whoever you are being driven...

We had a pleasant drive from Jodhpur to Udaipur, stopping at Ranakpur Temple and Kumbulgarh Fort. Our driver was wonderful - friendly and fairly flexible. He was a very safe driver as well. Overall, the drive was as expected (although ran a bit late - we didn't get lunch until 2p).
The reason my review is not higher is because immediately afterwards, our driver sent us tons and tons of messages to write this company a high review on TripAdvisor. We told him that we would write the review once we returned from vacation, but that did not stop him from sending us many more messages, multiple times a day, every day thereon with links to this TripAdvisor page. While we enjoyed our ride, we did not enjoy being harassed afterwards, particularly as we were on holiday!
We learned that the owner of this Tour company gives extra tips to drivers for getting their customers to write good reviews on the site, which is what incentivized our driver to send us a million messages, even after we asked him to stop. We liked our driver fine, but did not appreciate the haranguing.

We had a trip from Jodhpur to Udaipur via Ranakpur to visit the temple. That was really worth it. Also our driver Ganesh was super friendly, funny and reliable. He also helped us with the airport transfer later on. We were very happy with the trip and definitely recommend it.
