Namaste!

My name is Santu Lal but everyone knows me as Santosh. Thank you for visiting my website and considering me for your tour to Jaipur, Rajasthan and North India!
My Story

I was born and raised in Jaipur and live here with my wife and two children. I started my career in the early 1990s by apprenticing with my brother who was a professional driver and had his own Ambassador car. My job was to spotlessly clean the car every day and make sure the car was working in tip-top condition. Without telling my brother, I also started learning how to drive and surprised him with a ride in his Ambassador when I was sixteen. He was very happy and I joined my brother as a licensed professional driver a year or so later.
Soon afterwards, I bought my own Ambassador car and we both used to park our cars near Sindhi Camp bus stand to greet visitors and tourists and ask them if they needed a driver for their stay. This was the only way to reach tourists back when there were no websites, no social media and no way to make contact with a visitor before their trip.

Our business took off because our customers appreciated our knowledge of the city, our spotless cars, and enjoyed the respect and hospitality we offered. In Rajasthan, we believe that a guest is a form of God visiting you and we treat our guests with the same respect and love that we offer to our God. Many guests returned to Jaipur and would ask for us to be their driver again and this is how I grew my career over many years.
I still love working as a professional driver because it brings me great joy to share the the charm, history, and culture of my hometown, Jaipur. I also take guests to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra as well as destinations around Rajasthan including the blue city of Jodhpur, the living fortress city of Jaisalmer, the green city of lakes Udaipur, and to the colorful towns of hand-painted havelis across the Shekhawati region. There is so much to do and see in Jaipur and Rajasthan!
Not only do I get to do something I love as a professional driver, I also get to learn! I have met people from many cities all over the world. I love to hear about the cities where they live and their cultures. Over the my many years as a driver, I have also learned and improved my English speaking and communication skills which is something my guests appreciate and I am glad to always get more practice!
I look forward to being your driver on your very special Jaipur tour!
