Magical antiquity - We had a wonderful trip visiting Ajanta and Ellora. The driver was very personable and accommodating regarding everything. He took us to very good local restaurants that were not touristy or expensive. Absolutely would recommend this outfit.

Awesome private guided trip to Aurangabad’s best attractions - I booked a guided solo trip with Tour My Choice to visit the Ajanta and Ellora Caves, and Bibi Ka Maqbara. I am really glad that I decided to book this trip. Sher Khan was very responsive to my list of questions prior to the tour. The driver and the guide were professional and accommodating. I especially appreciated my government tourism office-certified expert guide, Deepak. He was very pleasant to be around, extremely knowledgeable, super attentive and understanding. In addition to his tourism knowledge, he is equally intelligent and informed about the current affairs, geopolitical issues, and cultural differences around the world. I really enjoyed talking with him. The time he spent in the caves explaining the history, religion, stories, and the connections was most helpful. Even though I only remembered a fraction of the vast amount of information presented to me, I have significantly deepened my understanding of the multi-cultural and multi-religious aspect of India. If you decide to visit, I highly recommend considering Sher Khan’s tour packages to get the most out of your trip. I would definitely book with them again.

Great way to see the caves! - This was a great experience! Having a driver made the whole trip to Ellora and Ajanta smooth and easy, and my driver (S S Patel) was very accommodating and flexible. I didn’t request a guide but am sure it would have been a great choice as well. I would definitely use this company again in the future.

Great - This two day tour was a highlight of my EPIC holiday in India. I took this part of the trip solo. My guide, Mr. Deepak, was knowledgeable, kind, and generous. One of my favorite moments was when we stopped at a little roadside market, roamed as Mr. Deepak told me about the local fruits and veggies, and then stopped to enjoy a most deliciously sweet mango. The restaurants over the two days were excellent. The first day we stopped and ate a a little roadside restaurant with a great view of rolling mountains (and roaming cows, of course). I ordered a mango lassi, chapati, masala aloo, and then topped off with a tiny coke. It was here that I had my first Indian after dinner mouth refresher of fennel and sugar crystals. YUM. We'd been in India for several days at that point and this was the first time l'd had it. Getting from place to place was a breeze. Mr. Santosh, an expert driver, got us comfortably everywhere we needed to go in a clean and cool (but not too cold) vehicle. Now for the reason of the tour, the caves. They are spectacular. Mr. Deepak's cool demeanor and knowledge about the caves was a cherry on top. From pointing out and telling the stories of Buddha depicted on the painted walls of Ajanta, to giving meaning to the carvings in the many caves and monuments in Ellora, I was blissed out. I have always heard that Ellora was the must visit. Kailasa is extraordinary, true. But Ajanta is fascinating, too. The wall paintings, faded and time corrupted as they are, came to life with my guide. We also went to Bibi Ka Maqbara, which is looks like a miniature Taj Mahal. It’s indeed referred to as the Taj of the Deccan. Lots of stories and architectural history here. Very nice, of course. I feel as if I was blessed there in Aurangabad. I feel as if I was blessed there in Aurangabad. From the instantaneous and concise communication of Sherkhan, to the knowledgeable and kind nature of my guide Mr. Deepak, to Mr. Santosh, the expert driver, to the caves (!) and Bibi Ka Maqbara ...everything. I am forever grateful.

Great tour to see the best of Aurungabd! - This 2 day tour was perfect to see the main attractions that Aurungabad has to offer. Over the 2 days we visited Ajanta Caves, Bibi Ka Maqbara and Ellora caves. Sherkhan contacted us soon after the booking and was very responsive on whatsapp. We also arranged our airport transfers easily with Sherkhan. Our driver Mr Asad was very courteous and our guide Mr Siraj very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, he explained the history in great detail. All the sites covered in this tour are truly remarkable, it's mind blowing to see the architectural creations that were created without the use of modern technology, in particular the Ellora caves being carved out of a single rockface. A must see if you are travelling to see the great wonders of the world. Tips - some temples you have to take shoes on and off and leave at the enterance, be prepared for this by ensuring you wear shoes that are easily removable but also comfortable as there is alot of walking. Pack or buy plenty of water, take sunscreen and a hat and always have toilet paper as many bathrooms do not have this. There will be a number of local sellers, you need to be prepared to say no alot if you are not interested, however always be polite.

Good two days - Had enjoyable two days. Ajanta first day, long hot drive, not many places to stop for toilet or breaks, so be aware of that. Second day was more enjoyable to Ellora caves as it is closer to town and the caves are more amazing, Mr. Sherkhan the guide was excellent, explained everything very well. Ajanta has more expensive street sellers, so be aware. Ellora caves just had small street sellers.
