A Perfect Sunday Morning

Published on Jan, 2025

A great morning trip out to the Island with a highlights tour of Mumbai. Great guides including within Mumbai, at the Island and then our car and boat driver. And for a bonus, they all take great photos! Highly recommended.

Elephanta Island tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Very well organized with on time pickup in nice air conditioning car. Sameer was very attentive and knowledgeable; same for the local tour guide Harich on Elephanta Island.

Educational and exciting experience.

Published on Oct, 2024

This was my second tour with this company, loved the first and was not disappointed with this one. Every courtesy and care extended and the tour went very smoothly. Enjoyed the whole experience and appreciated the tour of the caves provided by Hanesh. The significance and history of the site was clearly explained, as was its ongoing significance as a holy site and economic support to the people of the island.

Great Tour to Elephanta caves

Published on Sep, 2024

Excelent explanation and full support from Pooja all time. Local guide at the caves provided a lot of details regarding history

Good tour with a gentle guide.

Published on Jun, 2024

Sameer was a little silent but very very nice and gentle guy. He explained the attractions historically and kindly answer to whatever I asked. And, he always take care of our safety from the crowded people and the rush of cars. Also we could have a good experience thanks to him. The AC vehicle was clean, the driver was also nice. But, I'm sorry for not remembering his name. Anyway we had a good time with Sameer.
