Must see Khaneri Caves.

Thoroughly fascinating tour! The history of the building of the caves and changes through the centuries is remarkable and the tour is a must see for Mumbai. Our guide Ravi was very knowledgeable, engaging and answered all of our questions with great detail. He is an invaluable asset to Mumbai tourism !

Tranquil site in the center of Bombay

Chris_Y, Jan 2026

They made the entire experience more efficient, from pickup to park access. Professor Jagdish provided great insights and had answers to my many questions about the park. I was not expecting so much hiking to the caves, but it was worth it. I had a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone.

Kanheri Caves with Mehul!

Tejas_V, Jan 2025

Mehul is a great tour guide! He knows the caves in and out, spending his free time learning about them. He’s also a great photographer, and his knowledge of the caves along with the walk was truly memorable. The caves require some light to moderate incline via stairs so be mindful!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Mehul. He truly has a passion for the caves, and we're glad his expertise and photography skills added to your journey. We also appreciate the tip about the incline – we’re sure it’ll be helpful for future visitors. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Best regards, Prathmesh Dongare.

Great experience with Linda Tours Mumbai

Ying_Z, Dec 2024

Linda Tours Mumbai is the best. We only had one free day in Mumbai and wanted to visit both Kanheri Caves and Elephanta Caves. It was hard to find one in Viator. When I contacted Linda Tours Mumbai, they had arranged two tours in the same day with the same driver, so we had no worry for the timing between two tours. The Kanheri Caves are amazing and worth to visit. Our tour guide Ravi was fun and knowledgeable and our driver Mr. Satyam was very nice to meet our need.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Linda Tours Mumbai! We’re delighted to hear that we could help you make the most of your single day in Mumbai by arranging both the Kanheri and Elephanta Caves tours seamlessly. It’s fantastic to know you enjoyed exploring these historic sites and that our guide, Ravi, and driver, Mr. Satyam, helped make your experience memorable and hassle-free. Your kind words inspire us to keep delivering personalized and exceptional services. We hope to see you again on your next visit to Mumbai! Safe travels!

Worth the effort.

Kelvin_B, Oct 2024

Mr Ravi was an excellent guide. Best time to go is first thing in the morning. Too hot later on. Great place to visit just the same, don’t miss it.
