Extraordinary caves tour - I had an amazing tour with Sameer to the Mumbai national park and Kanheri caves. The pickup was in time and the vehicle well maintained. Sameer gave me some insights about the Indian culture as well as the caves we have visited. I was surprised about the nature and the history of the caves. I can highly recommend the tour!

A must see in Mumbai - The network of Buddhist caves are beautiful and inspiring. The ancient Buddhists carved large stone megalithic carvings. I was surprised by their size. The water hydrology was very sophisticated with water canals and dams. A must see with our knowledgeable guide Sanseer. Our car was a nice SUV with excellent AC. Good Driver.

fascinating caves; beautiful park - Sanjay Gandhi National Park is just 1.5 ~ 2 hours from Mumbai City. And the caves inside the park are fascinating. Mr. Sameer introduced Mumbai and the caves along the way. Very professional. I was able to take my time enjoying the beautiful park and Kanheri caves. He gave great tips for what to look for and to listen in the caves and in the park. Deers, many cute monkeys and hawks were spotted. The tour ended with Mandapeshwar Caves. A great experience you must have when you visit Mumbai.

Great Tour Guide - 10/10 tour. Sameer was a great tour guide and super friendly. We were picked up right on time and didn't feel rushed at all during the tour, Sameer really took his time to carefully explain the meaning behind each cave. Would recommend anyone wanting to explore the local caves of Mumbai to give the tour a go.

Fascinating Kanheri cave tour - I was staying in Goregaon so I decided to book this tour as the national park is nearby and this company offer pickups from the area. The tour was quite expensive for just one person but I wouldn't have gone alone so it was worth paying for. Sameer is an excellent guide and the caves are fascinating. The cave area is very peaceful which is unexpected so close to the city. The park and bus are quite busy at the weekend so go in the week if you can.
