Tranquil site in the center of Bombay - They made the entire experience more efficient, from pickup to park access. Professor Jagdish provided great insights and had answers to my many questions about the park. I was not expecting so much hiking to the caves, but it was worth it. I had a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone.

Must-do tour of the Kanheri Caves! - I highly recommend this tour with Ravi! He was so knowledgeable and passionate, answered all my questions and walked us through at a good pace to get to truly experience it all. I learned so much, and enjoyed the beauty of the caves and the views out over the park. My driver, Dinesh, was on time, smooth and gave me lots of information about Mumbai and the areas we were driving through to get to the park! All around a great experience!!

Smooth and Engaging Tour - Rovi and Lucas were great. They together made the drive to the site smooth and interesting. Rovi did a great job explaining the history of the caves. The caves weren’t super crowded and we really enjoyed being able to explore at our own pace. Highly recommend!

Fab tour and a welcome breath of nature - I took the tour on a Sunday morning in Monsoon with a charming and very knowledgeable guide called Kavitha. Kavitha gave an excellent explanation of the history of the caves and was able to answer all my questions. Whilst there were a lot of visitors it was wonderful to find an oasis of nature in Mumbai. Highly recommended!
