I had a wonderful day going to Elephanta Caves with private tour guides, Raj was excellent company all the way to the island and took great care of me throughout. Sameer, an island local, was my tour guide on the island, he showed me the beautiful carvings in the caves and explained each scene in in detail. He even took some really creative pictures for me! I had a great experience overall, definitely recommend!!
