Great choice for the family with kids - Extremely kind and flexible. Highly recommend if you are taking trip with small children. We have 6yr and 4yr kids and they enjoyed this tour very much. The guide was well experienced and the driver was cautious, they also arranged us some additional tour in Aurangabad out of the program.

Mr Taqui's wonderful tour - Mr Taqui is a native son of Arangabad, having grown up here when it was a small village. His intimate knowledge of the Caves and other sites in the area such as a 500 year old fort and the Deccan Taj, modeled after the Taj Mahal, made our excursion memorable. His friendships with local weavers enabled us to view first hand their amazing work with silk & cotton. He can be reached at [email protected] or by mobile at +91-9890363536

Astonishing Sites & Awesome Service - I found Travel Greed through Trip Advisor after a long search on the web for some tour company to organize a 2 day trip to Aurangabad to explore Ajanta & Ellora caves. I knew the sites were a drive from Aurangabad, and the roads were very dad to Ajanta which is about 100 kms from Aurangabad. I thought it would be a nightmare planning myselves. Thankfully I found Hrushikesh at Travel Greed who helped me plan the trip from the adventurous tours & transfers. The whole process was very organized and professional. Hrushikesh was always checking in with me or the guide throughout our trip to make sure everything was to our liking. Thank you Hrushikesh! I had an amazing trip after a couple of weeks traveling to India on Business. These caves were in my bucket list for many years and were beyond my expectations. The drives were very good, particularity on the drive to Ajanta. My guide Rajesh Raut was extremely professional, great photographer and extremly knowledgeable. Ask for him if you book a trip to the cave with Travel Greed. Highly recommend Travel Greed!

M - Nice tour, our guide Mr. Patil is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and was willing to share his personal thoughts as well, really enjoyed it. The road trip to Ajanta was brutal though, the road is very bad. One thing that would make the tour better given the cost is for them to include lunch and water along the way.
