Elephanta Caves Tour including Lunch and Transport

Our guide, Devu, arrived right on time and took us to the dock for the trip to the island with the caves. Since this was our first time in Mumbai, he provide us with a history of the cultures of the city. This discussion flowed into an explanation of the Hindu religion. Devu spoke to out level, something like "Hindu for Dummies." After what I thought was an arduous trek up the steps to the caves, Devu turned us over to another guide, also an employee of company. He was a native of the island knew about the cave in depth. He spent nearly two hours explaining the statues in the caves. That evening we compared our tour with another couple who had also taken a tour of the caves earlier in the caves. We all agreed that we had the better tour. Also we met a second couple heading up to the caves the next day, and they asked where Devu had taken us for lunch. I provided the name and location. The next day, we encountered the couple who said that it was quite good and thanked us for the information.

Had a great day out with my tour guide Retro to see the Elephanta caves. It was a very worthwhile experience and Retro was very knowledgable and made sure my experience was the best it could be. We had a great lunch on the island before returning back to the mainland and on to my hotel. This was my second trip with Bollywood tours and everything is very professionally run and dependable. Highly recommend them for your sightseeing around Mumbai and surrounding areas.

My second tour (Part A) with this fantastic Tour Company, run by a true professional in the Mumbai Tourism Industry - Mr Rahil Khan. his love for his city - Mumbai - truly shows! He makes you feel welcome and truly goes out of his way to give you an amazing time. (This was combined with the LGBTQ Friendly Mumbai City Tour on the same day, which continued after this in the afternoon - so apologies if some of it sounds the same) Now for the Tour - Wow! The guide - Wow! Suraj - call him “Retro” - I now refer to him as a friend. He is a great guy and has an absolutely fantastic work ethic! His knowledge of Mumbai, his friendly and caring nature, his overall enthusiasm for his job is an absolute credit to him. Also hearing his back story and upbringing - he is a shining light and deserves everything that comes before him. I can truly see him becoming a major force in the tourism industry. First saw India Gate, then a ferry to the Island, a ride on the cute Toy Train, climbed the 120 or so steps, then got a comprehensive and detailed tour of Elephanta Caves by a Local Guide - Deepak. Plenty of time to take photos, Retro without hesitation assists with photo taking - he makes you feel so comfortable - I had such a great time! I made so many memories and truly recommend you to consider this tour. The lunch provided at Metro Cafe was delicious also & snacks and drinks we’re provided throughout the Tour. No hesitation in recommending this tour - my Tour Guide Retro and the World Of Bollywood India Tours.
