It was nice but the price for the tour was too high. I was lucky to get a student price (1500 rupees- per person). But even then it was too expensive and the place wasnt as big Amber fort, where me and friends collectively paid 1000 rupees for a guide. Didnt learn much, just where the royal guests stayed and they tried hard to sell expensive sarees, paint work and scarfs. I recommend to just pay the basic ticket and look around the palace. The private grandeur tour was not worth it.

It is the most beautiful palace complex whech has separate entrance ticket INR 3500/- per foreigners tourists (other than regular visit of City palace museum) it include visits of 7 palaces of 4 floors with complimentary tea / coffee /juice / minral water bottle and cookies , it is recently opened for tourist but if you craving to see beautiful palaces in original form than must go for it . You can take photos except first palace .

Chandra Mahal was the main residence of Jaipur Maharajas. It was constructed by Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur in 1727.Now visitors are allowed to explore the stunning private rooms of the Chandra Mahal.Entry is from the Sarvato Bhadra (Diwan-i-Khas) courtyard.This seven-storeyed palace was built in just seven years. Each floor is lavishly adorned & has a specific name.Pritam Niwas on the ground floor has a wide verandah with Italian paintings, facing the Jai Niwas garden.Sukh Niwas on the second floor is the royal dining room ornamented with Mughal miniatures, silver & glass dining tables.A glass dining table engraved with two spectacular peacocks made by renowned artist Marc Lalique is displayed here.Rang Mahal has mirrors on walls & ceilings.Shobha Niwas on the 4th floor is fully decorated with mirror, lacquer, blue tiles with mica & gold leaf.Chhavi Niwas on the fifth floor is stunning. It is an open arched room painted in bright blue & white floral patterns.Shri Niwas (Sheesh Mahal) on the 6th floor displays Jaipuri mirror work on its walls & ceilings. The reflections of candlelight all over the room as tiny stars is beautiful.Mukut Mandir is an open pavilion on the top most floor, with a beautiful bangaldar roof.One can have panoramic views of Jaipur from this terrace.At the top of the Mukut Mandir flutters the Jaipur state flag known as Panchranga.Above it is a smaller quarter flag which denotes Maharaja Padmanabh Singh is in residence.Maharaja Jai Singh  was given the title of Sawai (meaning 1¼) by Aurangazeb as he was impressed by his witty nature.Since then the title Sawai was adopted by the royals.Chandra Mahal dominates the Pritam Niwas Chowk that has four beautiful gates.

Chandra Mahal is situated inside the main City Palace, which occupies around one-seventh area of the city. This mahal was built by Maharaja Jai Singh II and later on renovations were done by his descendants. It is presently the residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur and has a seven-storeyed citadel. This mahal is known for its floral decorations, mural paintings, decorated ceilings and mirrored walls.The first two floors of the Chandra Mahal is part of the Sukh Niwas Hall and above this hall is the Rang Mandir. Shobha Niwas which is known as a House of Beauty is situated above the Rang Mandir. The topmost section belongs to Chavi Niwas or the House of Mirrors.

We had booked a special tour that also allowed us access to the Chandra Mahal. The seven-storey palace is not accessible to visitors. The Chandra Mahal is located on the west side of Citypalast. He is the residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur. Chandra Mahal was built by Jai Singh II, the king of Jaipur, and covers almost a seventh part of the city palace. Considered to be the most important and powerful building of the City Palace, it has a seven-story citadel that offers unparalleled panoramic views of the city of Jaipur. All floors are lavishly furnished.
