I met my tour guide Anthony in the lobby of my hotel at the scheduled time. He was friendly and professional from the start. I was impressed with his knowledge and the pace of the tour, it did not feel rushed. Elephanta Cave was amazing, climbing the 120 steps is so worth it. Kudos to the driver also, Manoj, who did not talk much but was always there with a smile. Thank you guys for making me feel safe and for an amazing experience, one I will not soon forget ❤️

The ferry to the island was an experience.The island is filled with wild monkeys. Our tour guide was excellent & very knowledgeable & personable. We were unaware of having to climb 120 steps to the cave & opted for another means of transportation, which was most embarrassing for me,when 4 men with a chair nailed to 2 posts appeared & carried my partner & I individually. The cost was an additional $75 + TIPS. Quite a unique experience

Raj, Samir and Mikesh were amazing! Right on time arrival, extremely knowledgeable and very cooperative. The experience from the tour itself is that it's very easy one - no need to climb anywhere, light walk and was not too hot. I learned a lot about Hindu from Samir. If I haven't asked to guide me to the island it would have been very fast and bored. But with these folks it turned into an educational adventures!! Thanka and warm regards!

The tour of the elephant caves were absolutely amazing, our guide Dev took such good care of us making sure we were safe and having the best time, he also took so many photos for us trying to make sure to capture every moment of our experience for us! It was like hanging out with an old friend. Our guide for the elephant caves explained so much of the beautiful history and shared the story’s of living in the local village and was very patient when we wanted to take 5000 photos of everything, our guide took us to places that the other tourists couldn’t go and it was just an amazing experience all round. I highly recommend booking this experience once in a life time opportunity, and I will definitely be back! Take care guys ❤️✌️
