Perfect budget friendly trip in all safety

Claudia_Z, Feb 2025

Ajanta and Ellora caves are beyond imagination! The organiser of this trip speaks good English and he is very helpful. We had a driver called Habib that was also pleasant to talk with and very careful when driving! This package allows you to freely discover and you will be able to contract tourist guides in most of the historic sites.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the awe-inspiring Ajanta and Ellora caves. It’s great to know that the trip was well-organized, and both our team and Habib made your experience pleasant and safe. We’re glad you appreciated the flexibility of the package and the option to hire guides on-site. We hope to assist you with more adventures in the future! 😊

Great day out visiting both caves - both interesting for different reasons

Stefan_S, Jan 2025

Excellent means to see both caves in a day. Mr Suleman was a knowledgeable and friendly driver, who pointed out local sites in a comfortable car. Local cave guides offered good context and history of the places. Communication all easy via WhatsApp. Ajanta is a spectacular location with rich paintings (although bring a torch!). Whereas Ellora has more impressive sculptures and variety of caves. Both are excellent but if had to choose one, Ellora would be our pick. Would recommend visiting caves with a guide or reference book. Both caves are touristy, so do expect to be approached by local merchants.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your detailed review! 😊 We're thrilled you had a great experience exploring Ajanta and Ellora. We're glad Mr. Suleman made your journey comfortable and insightful. Your tips about guides, torches, and local merchants are spot on and helpful for future travelers. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Such a great tour!

Simple, fun and amazing

Great value, excellent experience. Ellora Caves was phenomenal. We were inundated with requests for people to take pictures with us, which made for an interesting experience, but I sort of liked the self-guided experience of it. There was no rushing. They picked us up, drove through crazy traffic with AC going on a hot day, waited for us to see what we wanted and dropped us off at the airport. Exactly what we wanted.

Response from Host, Sep 2024
