Peak Experience - Ravi was an amazing guide. He spoke excellent English and had answers for all my questions about culture and history. He also helped us navigate public transportation and was helpful and kind. I highly recommend taking a tour with him. He made sure we were safe and was flexible about stopping for lunch and adding on an experience. Kanheri caves is a beautiful and interesting place. Path ways are uneven and may be tricky for older people. The Golden Pagoda was beautiful and visiting them together gave a fascinating viewpoint into Buddhism’s past and future. This day with Ravi was a really peak experience of our trip. He was an excellent guide and made sure we had a great time.

Excellent, informative, and well-paced tours! Would highly recommend! - Kavitha was an amazing tour guide; super informative, engaging, kind, and an extra perk was that she takes excellent photos. From start to finish, the tour was incredibly well-paced. Deepak was a considerate and very good driver; my husband and I felt very secure throughout the tour. Additionally, they were all incredibly adaptable when we needed to change our date due to our flight getting in late. This tour was an excellent way to get to see the caves and pagoda!

Great Experience with Our Guide Ravi - We had a really wonderful tour with our guide Ravi – authentic, relaxed, and incredibly interesting from start to finish. You could immediately feel how much passion and knowledge he brings with him. He didn’t just share facts with us, but also stories, background information, and little details you would never learn otherwise.
What we loved most was how personal and approachable he was in his explanations. We could ask questions at any time, had lots of laughs, and still learned so much. The time just flew by!
We can truly recommend him from the bottom of our hearts. If you’re looking for a tour that’s fun, informative, and gives you a genuine insight into the region, he’s definitely the right person. Thank you for this wonderful experience – we would join you again anytime!

Fun interesting but very hot - What a long day, but a lot of fun and worth the work. Kavitha was a lovely tour guide. Very sweet and informative. Great with answering our questions. The the caves are neat and beautiful. The history is very cool. Downsides are that it can get very very hot, we went in November and it was still pretty brutal. The safari is nice because you’re on the bus and it’s air conditioned, but you’re don’t get to get too close to the animals.

Very informative and enjoyable tour - Fantastic day with our tour guide Ravi and driver Kaleem.
Ravi is very professional and incredibly knowledgeable - we came away with a great understanding of the Bhuddist culture but also had a lot of laughs along the way.
It is a tour definitely worth doing!
