good to know...I don't need to visit Incredible india!! Keep it up and no one will visit India. This is a harassment! We don't go on vacation to be harassed. If India does not have a Tourism Minster they need one to stop this...or they are corrupt and benefiting from this nonsense! The Tourism Minster should be watching this to see what they can do to improve the country. Either lazy and needs to be fired!

[@ajsuryavanshi759]

I remember I visited Jaipur with my girlfriend and Needed to go to Nahargarh fort from Amber fort. One guy got on our back trying to convince us that his is the best price and we ended up taking his auto. He literally would not let us talk to any other auto and while we were returning he again was there right outside the gate and started to harass us again into taking his auto. I had to shout at him just to get him off our back. I am an Indian and this is the case with Indian Tourist, I can only imagine what happens with foreigners. Later I got to know he overcharged us in the first trip.

[@the_tersorium]

I'd love to visit India, but I cannot tolerate scammers, which makes me consider the whole idea too much hassle.

[@Rivertalk229]

[@LOKESHPAWAR20]

Jaipur is just an overhyped city. They attract tourists just by advertising heritage buildings. But the behaviour of localities towards tourists is pathetic. All just want to loot the foreign tourists especially the Autos and Taxi walas. And this is the same in all Central Belt (Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar). I belong to this belt only and when I visited different states, there were more beautiful places/cities in India. You will get better treatment from the localities like on the northern side above Uttrakhand, Himachal, North East States and Maharastra and southern states.

Hi Chris ! I'm a subscriber that loves watching your videos ..I think I can speak for all of us when I say I've watched most of your videos. 😊. You are only about 4 and a half hours away from Agra India..the home of the famous Taj Mahal. Please consider visiting there and making a video. It is one of the most breathtaking experiences you'll ever have. I remember when I visited when I was about 12 years old..I am now 45..and I can say ..it was one of the most magical experiences of my life. 😊

[@ziplin5412]

[@SubrataSarkaar5076]

Why did you cancelled the Uber booking and agreed to go with their price in the first place? Don't ever place yourself inside that kind of gangs, instead go a little far and call the driver from the Uber app to pick you up from there. And if there's no other option than cancelling, then cancel with a complaint then book another. And if that driver does do the same then cancel that too with a complaint. These people are need to be teached a lesson. We indians ourselves are not happy with these kind of dishonest greedy people.

[@ChickenNugget-wy2hc]

Wow thanks for this video Chris my husband and I will be visiting soon you have opened our eyes in terms of these drivers pretty scary

[@rupshekhar8101]

Whenever i see your videos and get to know more about how we should greet anyone in our country, I always have a smile on my face. And you're too kind as well that makes a good interaction and sometimes u had to deal with some unpleasant situation and you handle those with peace. I could say you're a perfect tourist. 😇

[@rahilmalhotra001]

I remember when i went to road trip to Jaipur from NCR, and a police officer literally scammed us for not wearing seatbelts in the Amer fort parking. Such is the level of corruption there. Never visit Jaipur

[@raghavmalik2561]

[@simpletechniques63]

No worry boss, this is life best of luck, and keep uploading

[@jamesgeorge777]

These touts are used to fleecing foreigners especially tourists. This situation is the reality in several Indian cities including Jaipur. Dishonesty, greed, lies actually destroys their credibility. Sooner or later, foreign and domestic tourists will avoid their extortion and blatant corruption. I still believe that most people in Jaipur are not greedy, corrupt or dishonest but the repeated harassment of visitors by such touts should be addressed by the government in Rajasthan and local citizens as well as those running shops, restaurants, hotels, tourist spots and selling items and handicrafts to tourists. Silence in the face of ongoing extortion = loss of business and reduction in tourists. Tourists will go to other cities and places in India where extortion is not rampant.

You gave the big tip to the sugarcane man next the auto driver turned around and went to the guy to ask for his share and will say you said to share that. But the sugarcane guy will not share it and the next day you will see his sugarcane wheels are damaged bruises on him and severely hurt.Dont bless anyone openly.Its a request.I have seen people getting mean for money so much especially in north india.

[@youtubelover9209]

wtf is 'north India'? You sound like a commie. India is India, and good and bad things can happen anywhere, even outside of India. Also there's no such thing as 'north India' or 'south India'. It's not because of one belonging to a particular region that one behaves a certain way, more because of their upbringing and manners. Also Rajasthan is in the WEST of India. Also, going by your stupid logic everyone in 'south India' would be saints (because they are from 'south India') and everyone living in the northern would be demons. Stop looking down on your own countrymen, you don't even know 1% of them.

Your timing is perfect. Read a news today about Jaipur - someone sold fake jewellery costing 300 rupees for 6 Crores rupees to an American tourist!

The common American tourist does not have 6 crores to spend on jewellery. Must be rich man who does not care about 6 crores, that said, it is not okay to scam people- whether rich or poor. Karma is there.

[@SubrataSarkaar5076]

This video was awesome. I loved that historic hotel. The staff was very polished. I appreciate staff like that when I find myself abroad. They can make or break a hotel.

I am from Delhi and I am sharing with you our real bad experience of Rajasthan that we feel when travelling by our car in Jaipur and there biggest problem was for us baggers or you can call them scammers because they were not haopy with only 10 or 20 rupees they need packet of Aata (it means minimum 200 rupees for aata), they were almost everywhere wherever we stopped our car, and these same time of people came in Delhi you can see them at every traffic signal of Delhi. We faced one scammer of car too! One car stopped in front of stopped car on side because I was checking google map, two man came and knock window of my car and said I hit their car come and see! I talk strongly to them and I moved.

Being an extremely touristy city has its own drawbacks. Yes your experience was bad but I have to say Jaipur is one of the best cities, if you have a person who knows the city. Also 400$ is way too much. Same room is available for less than $100 online.

[@markclayton626]

Yes Jaipur is like Agra for tourists, scam after scam, quality is poor in these cities too, in Jaipur the forts are great, in Agra the Taj and the fort are great too, in fact the Taj is in my opinion the most beautiful building in the world, but I’d suggest visit them and get out. Delhi and Mumbai are so much bigger, yet you won’t get hassle like you do in Jaipur and Agra…. I think most tourists will agree with what I’m saying.

[@user-wl5ro7jj6q]

I love this since it shows what it's like to be to be chased and harassed. As a women in many cultures, this is typical and we owe everyone to make it easier for them. Glad you know what it's like. White guys in SE Asia and India have their own problems since people treat you as if you have power, but I would guess you have extra respect in many countries for being your identity. It's awesome. You're a superstar for your identity and even moreso for your language skills and manners (unusual versus expected.) I think it must be a different experience from mine that usually feels like everyone is nice and open to your presence since you are the ideal identity as a white dude.
