Best experience in Aurangabad - I had really good experience and would like to recommend Akvin Tourism. Communication with Mr. Akash was very easy and I could get quick response. The driver in Aurangabad, Mr. Salman is really nice guy. First, he is very friendly. He's always smiling and easy to communicate, speak English very fluently. Second, he is polite and good at taking care of clients. He communicates well but let me sleep when I was tired and sleepy. Also, he kindly brought cold drink when I come back from long walk in Ajanta. Lastly he is very knowledgeable and told me a lot of things including Hindi, Marathi languages, Indian history, culture and food. Thanks to Mr. Salman, we really enjoyed Ajanta&Ellora&Aurangabad and it was fruitful trip. I'll recommend Akvin Tourism and Mr. Salman to my friends. Thank you very much.

Memorable, comfortable and happy - Akvin Tourism has profoundly changed my view of Indian tour agencies. Besides being punctual, accommodating to personal needs and reasonable pricing, their care, sensitivity and good arrangements proved that their only concern was the client. Their sense of professionalism speaks beyond words, it spells of a memorable experience. Thank you, Akvin Tourism.

5/5 for Akvin - I'm so happy I decided to book with Akvin...If I instead opted to go by myself, I wouldn't have understood a fraction of the beauty and history found in the carvings and paintings at Ellora & Ajanta. I also had lovely interactions with everyone who worked with Akvin...they were honest and very focused on providing a quality service. Thank you, all!

Very friendly, imaginative and honest travel agency and homestay. - We stayed at Akash's place (he has a homestay on AirBnB) and really enjoyed it; we felt invited into the family, and saw quite a bit of Akash and Vincent, who even organised tickets for a great concert that happened to be on during our visit. It wqs great to have someone to chat with in the morning. The homestay is in the city, so transport everywhere is fairly easy, and, incredibly for India, it is really quiet!! If you want to stay there, I think best is to WhatsApp Akash on +91 78753 77569. Aside from that, with Vincent they run a travel business specialised in the state. There is so much more to see around Aurunagad than just Ellora and Ajanta....you could probably spend a week, and have a varied and fun trip. Aurungabad isnt so bad also to get to; there are flights non-stop to Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderbad; but plenty of trains too, and, if you are coming from abroad, they'll organise a train ticket for you (as that is so difficult to do from abroad). Aside from being professional, they are also very nice people and I really recommend that you work with them.

Excellent tour to wonderful sights - We had an excellent trip with Akvin Tours and in particular Afzal our driver to Ellora and Ajunta in Sept 2022. The road to Ajunta is still under construction so its a long journey but definitely worth it - the caves are wonderful. And at Ellora the Kailasa temple (cave 16) is up there with Angkor Wat IMO even though its not as famous. Note that one of the good things about this tour is that they sort the tickets out for you in advance, most of the other tours I looked at do not do this. We visited off peak but in peak time avoiding the queue to buy tickets would be an excellent advantage. Our driver -Afzal went above and beyond his duties in trying to find us a cash machine that would allow us to withdraw money from UK banks , we must have tried about 6 (finally Axis bank came up trumps). Both he and his boss Akash were super helpful all the time even 2 days after the tour when I was confused about entries in my bank account from shops and the cash withdrawals.

Go with Akvin!!! - Akvin tours handles your travel program with professionalism and creativity. We had a delightful time as the guide, Pankaj, was very informative and knowledgable and Akash, manager of the company, was most helpful and pleasant. They may our visit to Aurangabad and the sights a delightful one.
