Lovely morning tour with a local guide - Sam was very knowledgeable and patient, as well as very skilled taking pictures for us. The caves are a nice showing of ancient Indian heritage, and having a local explain it all was definitely a highlight

Elephanta caves tour with Sam - Did a tour with Sam. He's a great tour guide who is really friendly, funny, and great story teller. I definitely recommend doing this tour with a guide and going in the morning when the site is nearly empty. Sam is also an excellent photographer.

Elephanta caves, great UNESCO site. Great local guide - Great tour to Elephanta caves (we did only Elephanta, without the half day tour). The guide Sameer was amazing. Sammer and his family are from the island. He explained the caves cravings with a lot of detail, made us pictures and had no rush. He allowed us to take the time we wanted in every place during the tour. The tour was very good organized. We did not need to do any line for buying ferry tickets, etc, or entering the caves. After the tour, the guide even offered us to visit his village if we wanted. I definitely recommend this tour with Mumbai Dream tours.
