      Great short excursion from the city
      I had a great time on the trip to the Caves - everything was smooth from pick up to drop off. Ravi, my guide, was a fountain of knowledge when it come to explain this history and cultural significance of the caves and the carvings (as well as the games that the monkeys like to play) and was a much better photographer than me trying to take selfies. Deepak, our driver, got use there and back safely and quickly - no small feat in Mumbai traffic. Whole trip was about 4h30m.

      Elephanta caves
      Manoj has been an amazing tour guide. He told us the history and story behind the Hindu religion and kept us very interested the whole time. He made the tour very fun and exciting and his camera skills are great 😊

      Wonderful elephanta caves visit
      Unexpectedly enriching trip. Driver Satyam , very punctual and efficient. Guide Neha , very resilient and eager to our every question , took very serious care especially of our mom every step of the way. Cave guide Manoj , very knowledgeable and pleasant, also fed us with homely meal made by his own mom in his very cozy and warm home while taking shelter from rain!

      Great tour!
      This trip was absolutely brilliant. Was lucky that it was during the Ganesha festival so got to see a lot of culture and dancing on the streets. Ravi and Satyam were both amazing hosts. Very knowledgeable about Mumbai and India more broadly. I was travelling here for work so the night tour was perfect for me to see the city when I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise Highly recommend this tour!

      A Fantastic time!
      This was a first class tour from start to finish. Neha collected us from our hotel and was charming on our journey on the ferry to Elephanta. On arrival on the island she introduced us to Manoj who was our guide on the island. A local gentleman who shared his wealth of knowledge with us and ensured we understood the history and stories of the caves and statues. Lovely people and a must do trip when visiting Mumbai. Thank you Neha and Manoj 😊

    The tour of the Dharavi chawl was fantastic. Divya was a terrific and charismatic local guide who really understood the neighbourhood and its intricacies. Arun was an excellent and very accommodating driver, full of insights and able to answer every question we had about the city. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Mumbai.

    Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mumbai. Hari helped us book the tour and was incredibly patient with us as we waited out the rain. Yash was our guide for Dharavi and was incredible throughout the tour, showing us the different commercial industries in Dharavi and the residential areas. He layered in his personal experiences with an extensive amount of information about the area, which made this experience so memorable. thank you Yash and Hari!!

    A great way to experience and appreciate the commercial and residential way of life in Dharavi. I recommend our guide, Chirag. His knowledge and personal experience living in Dharavi made our visit very real. He made us feel very welcome, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the entire tour.

    Our tour guide was ‘Diva’, she was amazing, very knowledgeable. Diva is a local to Dharavi, born and raised which was great as she gave us a real insight. It was an eye opener for sure, not what we expected, no spoilers here but it is a must do tour.

    We were met at the cruise terminal gate by our driver who then drove us to Dharavi Slum. Upon arriving, we met our tour guide. He was a resident of the slum so knew first hand everything there was to know about it. We enjoyed the tour very much and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

    What a unique place! Thanks to my guide Rohit I have a new understanding of India and the slums. It changed my perception so much. Rohit was amazing and let me ask so many questions. I wouldn't be anywhere though with out my trusty driver Dinesh. He was so kind and helpful and made some very important extra stops for me. He even took me to a pharmacy and helped explain my problem. Please ask for Dinesh and Rohit!
