The well-maintained vehicle and Dipen's professionalism made us feel at ease throughout the journey. He accommodated our preferences and suggested great restaurants for local cuisine. Overall, our Lonavala tour with Driver Dipen was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, creating lasting memories for our family.

First experience of Mumbai - Did a family trip from 22 TO 30 DECEMBER 2023. Stayed in RAMADA PLAZA BY WYNDHAM PALM GROVE ( 3nights ) followed by FARIYAS RESORT LONAVALA (2nights ) and back to PRESIDENT IHCL BY TAJ GROUP (3nights) All the hotels were amazing especially Fariyas which had the Water Park rides. It was a hit with our kids who enjoy playing in the Pool. In all the hotels we liked the Christmas ambience of the foyer and the hotel in general. Our two kids enjoyed the Christmas decorations. All the rooms were clean. Places visited: In Bobbay - famous Marine Drive, Hanging Garden, CST, Mani Bhavan, Bandra Worli Sea Link, Crawford market, Rajabai clock tower-the big ben of India, Juhu & Chowpatty beach. A Bollywood studio visit is a must. Elephanta Caves a collection of cave temples predominantly dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, which have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shopping: in the Dadar and Colaba areas is good to pick very good bargains

AVOID THIS CAR TRIP IN FEBRUARY. JUST DRY HILLS AND 5 HOURS OF DRIVING - Avoid this tour in January February. Five hours of driving and all you see is some dirty dry hills. We were taken to one overlook which was a dirt parking lot with empty cellar stalls (see photo), no greenery, no nature experience at all. THE PHOTOS ON THE LISTING showing LUSH HILLS ARE NOT WHAT YOU SEE. Just dry dirty dusty roads. No waterfalls. The TripAdvisor listing is NOT A HONEST DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPERIENCE WHICH IS NOT A "TOUR". Just a full day car trip to some modest hills. Driver kindly eliminated the second dirt overlook and took us instead to an ancient Buddhist cave, there we had to pay admission fees and there is no pamphlet or interpretation or guide. Multiple sites listed online for itinerary were skipped including gardens and shrine. Then we drove back to Mumbai. Exhausting day of heavy traffic and driving and all we got to see in six hours was one dirty parking lot and one Buddhist cave. Mumbai traffic is hair raising and the roads are bumpy. There were no stops for lunch or using bathroom facilities. We were offered one road stop on the outbound trip when we didn’t need it but we’re not informed that there were no other facilities available the rest of the day. Despite contacting tour operator ahead, we were not advised to bring our own food or water. We contacted the tour operator with our complaints, and they refused any partial refund. This trip is actually just car transportation, back and forth to see dry hills, it is not a “tour“ as there was no guiding and no sights.
