Review Us On Tripadvisor
EXCELLENT Based on 182 reviews Subrata CVerified Visit to the Elephanta Caves with family It was a great experience, the speed boat ride to the island offers beautiful views of the city’s coastline, making the journey just as memorable as the destination. It took us 15-20 mins one way. Our guide was with us right from the hotel, was with us in the speed boat, bought the entrance tickets at arrival, and took us through all the caves sharing the history and religious stories behind each statues. It was very informative. We returned with our memories and would recommend Elephanta Caves as a must do trip. Thanks! J SVerified Fun experience! Really great experience. Managed to view some live scenes being filmed and explored some drama sets. Really professional guide and the whole experience ran very smoothly. Karaoke not really thing but the dance performance at the end was a nice touch. muzzysfieldVerified Perfect highlights tour Jaya was an attentive and knowledgeable guide. It was a pleasure spending a few hours with her exploring Mumbai. She presented in-depth details about the sites we visited. Alba SVerified For all Bollywood fans! The tour was informative and interesting. I liked best the dance performance, beautiful costumes and dancing. I was taken to various film sets and was able to see the actors in action. I was a little disappointed about the condition of the studios, but this has of course nothing to do with the tour operator! Julian TVerified An enjoyable and relaxed tour I scheduled a private tour of Mumbai to get an essential overview of the city in the little time I had there. The tour was very simple to schedule and pickup/drop off was straightforward. It was easy to get around and cover the various neighborhoods and landmarks thanks to the included driver. I took the tour as advertised and we stopped/passed by the famous sights and more. I learned a lot about Mumbai thanks to my guide Ahed, who was very knowledgeable about its culture, history and various workings. I'm very glad I took this tour on my first trip to India. John TVerified An excellent introduction to Mumbai with a great guide. I only had a morning to get to see a little bit of Mumbai and this tour was an excellent introduction to the city. Ms. Pooja was a fantastic guide. Highly informed, humorous and great company for someone doing the tour on their own. I recommend it to anyone. Sara HVerified Elephanta caves I was in Mumbai for work and started a few extra days by myself to tour around. My hotel recommended Passport Lifestyles and it was important to me to have a tour guide as I was by myself. Haresh was my guide to the Caves and he was local to the island. So very informative on the Hindu religion and the history of the island. The speedboat cost more but it was much faster and since I was solo I enjoyed have the solo ride over to the island. Would highly recommend booking with them if you are ever in Mumbai. lovetotravelcaVerified Great tour of Dharavi The tour company was very professional and punctual . The tour guide spoke great English and was very informative . All in all highly recommend it to anyone who wants to tour dharavi Exploration826603Verified City tour and Elephante cave tour - a must do in Mumbai Everything was organized and the guides were very informative. Took great care of us. The driver was also super efficient and just an overall great experience Marguerite PVerified Elephanta caves via public ferry I had one day to explore at the end of a business trip and went with a guide to Elephanta island. Car was comfortable with a good driver. The guide was amazing and knowledgeable. He explained the caves, their history, and meaning and also answered all my questions about what we were looking at as we moved through Mumbai and on the ferry. The caves were well with the trip - beautiful, unique, and set on a lovely island. the whole experience was very easy. Highly recommend.
