Great tour of Mumbai and Elephant Caves - Great tour of the city Including Elephant Caves. Even through the traffic is horrendous in the city, there was no rush to end the tour, and we ended up extending late into the evening.

lovely guides and sights, misleading timing - we did enjoy our tour, but we had to cut out a lot of it as the “2 hour” elephanta trip took up 5 hours of our time. the caves were beautiful, but we wish we’d known how long it would take luckily our guides helped us determine the best stops, which were some absolutely gorgeous buildings with rich history behind them. Sharon and Prithi (really sorry if i’ve misheard these; Mumbai is loud!) were both absolutely lovely guides. incredibly kind and clever people who offered us so much information and made us feel welcome in this country
