Worth the effort. - 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.

Great short excursion from the city - I had a great time on the trip to the Caves - everything was smooth from pick up to drop off. Ravi, my guide, was a fountain of knowledge when it come to explain this history and cultural significance of the caves and the carvings (as well as the games that the monkeys like to play) and was a much better photographer than me trying to take selfies. Deepak, our driver, got use there and back safely and quickly - no small feat in Mumbai traffic. Whole trip was about 4h30m.

Awesome Kanheri Caves - Great day with our guide Ravi and driver Dinesh with Linda Tours. We visited Kanheri Caves and truly enjoyed it. Our driver Dinesh picked us up promptly at the airport and had cold water for us. We then met up with our guide Ravi that took us through the incredible caves. Ravi was very knowledgeable about the caves and his English was excellent. Dinesh was also very knowledgeable with city facts and spoke English as well. Thank you both for a great tour!!

Tour of National Park in Mumbai - The tour to the National Park was fascinating. We learned a lot about the history of the caves and the view was stunning. We also had time to observe the many monkeys living there. Ravi and Dinesh our Tour Guide/Driver were very kind and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history or nature.

Highly recommended - Ganesh and his brother guided our tour. It was an amazing and enriching experience. Nothing like getting to know a place guided by highly educated and knowledgeable locals. We learned things we wouldn’t have otherwise on our own. If you plan to visit the Kanheri caves, reach out to these guys, you won’t regret it. We also were picked up and dropped off at our hotel by Santosh, friendly, punctual and good driver.
