It's a satisfying tour. - The guide, Sheikh, spoke fluent Japanese and the explanation was very easy to understand. Even the occasional joke helped. They explained on site the huge murals, the works that could never be removed from the statue, but the others were just rough explanations, and we were free to spend our time on our own. We had prior knowledge so that was rather good. I was able to skip the queues with my face pass and drive an electric cart to a Buddhist cave that was originally only accessible on foot in Elora. We communicated in English with Madhu, the driver. It was a pleasant drive, with a polite reception and gentle driving. The tour ended when we got back to the city on the last day, but they picked us up again around 7pm to go to the airport, which was very helpful. It may be more expensive than other tours, but it's well worth it.

Outstanding, informative - A visit not to be missed. - From booking this tour last minute, to dropping me back at the airport safely, the staff of Mr. Kaif and driver Mr. Tausif, could not have done more. Friendly and always ensuring my enjoyment, I cannot recommend this tour enough. Don't try to do it on your own... tickets, transport and guides were all included and the company was exceptional. All I had to do was sit back and enjoy. Thank you for an exceptional tour!!! 🙏🏻

Outstanding Service, Flexibility, and Care – Highly Recommend! - We had an incredible experience with Skip-the-Line: All-Inclusive 2-Day Ajanta and Ellora Private Tour, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. What truly set this company apart was their exceptional flexibility and compassion when my son fell sick right before—and even during part of—the trip. They were incredibly understanding, adjusted the schedule without any hassle, and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. Our tour guide, Mr. Seth, was absolutely amazing. His knowledge of Ajanta and Ellora was outstanding, and he explained the history, art, and significance of the caves in a way that was engaging, clear, and fascinating. He was patient, kind, and very attentive to our situation, always checking in to make sure we were doing okay. A special mention also goes to our driver, Mr. Madhav, whose excellent driving skills made the long journeys smooth, safe, and stress-free. He was professional, calm, and clearly very experienced—something we especially valued given the circumstances. Despite the challenges we faced, this tour turned into a truly memorable and positive experience thanks to the team’s professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. If you’re considering an Ajanta and Ellora tour, this company is absolutely the one to choose.

Ajanta and Ellora Caves are spectacular - This tour was a wonderful, seamless way to visit the astonishing Ajanta and Ellora Caves. Siraj was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide; he really enhanced our understanding of what we were seeing within the caves we visited. He also managed the practicalities of our two-day tour extremely well so that everything, including our pick ups and lunch stops, went very smoothely. Our driver Mahadev was also terrific; a very safe and sensible driver, with a big, welcoming smile. This tour was one of the highlights of our two-week trip to India.

Excellent staff provided great service for this tour - The tour was well organized for a one day tour covering so much ground. The driver, Mr Kalim was very competent, the car was very comfortable. Mr Kaif provided support service far above and beyond any expectation. I complement him very highly for his attitude and help with many issues.

An excellent tour to magnificent sights - I had wanted to visit Ellora Caves for many years so I booked a two day tour which also took in Ajanta Caves and Bibi Ka Maqbara. All were spectacular, while guide Deepak and driver Suleman made the experience memorable.

Truly memorable! - I can say a top item from our Bucket List is satisfactorily ticked off thanks to the excellent tours through Viator. The locations of course are a once-in-a lifetime experience and we were keen to ensure we get the most out of our visit. We have used Viator many times before and wanted to try out this one too. We were not disappointed. We were in good hands with the excellent tour guides we had. May I give a call out to Sarang Desmukh (for Ajanta caves) who was a fund of knowledge when it came to history, Kev, the young aspiring junior guide who was very engaging and keen, Mr Ali (for Bibi Ka Maqbara and Ellora caves) who was again an expert with many years of experience and knowledge in the field, who is also an excellent photographer. Thanks also goes to Tausif who drove us to these venues - he made our travel safe and enjoyable despite the pitiable state of the roads to Ajanta caves. Thank you Viator. We shall certainly be calling upon you for our future travels.
