Elephanta Caves UNESCO Marvel: Mumbai Half-Day Guided Tour

Was not given specific meeting point just at gateway to India This is a vast area I had to make several calls before finding out the exact location Not good enough

Guide was extremely knowledgeable. The trip was a treat. Booking was easy. Great religious background

Due to internet issues (Australians -Telstra doesn’t work in India!) the intended guide couldn’t contact me so I began the ferry ride without guide. The company, without my knowledge, arranged another guide who met me on the island, Avinash who was wonderful. Very knowledgeable (local to the island) and taught us a lot about the history and religion that we would not have learnt from reading the plaques. A beautiful experience.

A very enjoyable tour of the island and caves with a knowledgable guide with extensive photography skills to help capture the moment. Highly recommend visiting the island and caves if you have a half day to spare in Mumbai. The ferry trip provides great views of the city and is a lovely way to get around.

The elephant caves were amazing very interesting!! Well worth the ferry crossing which is a bit long one hour !! well trained guide , Thank you

Let me start by saying I only reduced one star because the actual tour company is awful, but our guide was just wonderful. The company overcharges massively, they wouldn't put me in touch directly with the guide until I called and texted several times, and they tried to get our guide to ask us to come on a combined group tour two hours earlier than what we signed up for. Avinash Madhvi was our guide, he's native to the island and knows so much about the caves you wouldn't be able to learn or read on your own. Try reaching out to him via his FB page directly. Highly recommend him

great place to visit, guided by very experienced person all the time. To visit the caves half day is sufficient

Have just returned from this excursion but not all items were provided for the tour - hotel pick up was included. Getting to the island was fine and cold drinks were provided followed by an informative chat from our friendly and attentive guide. Despite saying Indian snacks would be provided, none were offered. We were then left at the island ferry port to come back on our own. When asked what was happening about the pre- paid taxi our guide said nothing he could do about it. We ended up having to pay again for a taxi on our return journey- an included and paid for item of our excursion. We could have done the trip on our own for a tenth of the price but chose the luxury option in the anticipation of a good experience. Very unhappy customer.

wonderful statues that teach the story of shiva, in an amazing place. People really kind. The local guide has a lot of knowledge

Elephanta Caves are an amazing site to see. This tour ensured that I made the correct ferry, and had a knowledgeable guide (Avi) to explain the many Shiva in the caves. This tour is a must-do. Avi even showed me the local village on the island!
