A Perfect Sunday Morning - A great morning trip out to the Island with a highlights tour of Mumbai. Great guides including within Mumbai, at the Island and then our car and boat driver. And for a bonus, they all take great photos! Highly recommended.

Educational and exciting experience. - This was my second tour with this company, loved the first and was not disappointed with this one. Every courtesy and care extended and the tour went very smoothly. Enjoyed the whole experience and appreciated the tour of the caves provided by Hanesh. The significance and history of the site was clearly explained, as was its ongoing significance as a holy site and economic support to the people of the island.

Good tour with a gentle guide. - Sameer was a little silent but very very nice and gentle guy. He explained the attractions historically and kindly answer to whatever I asked. And, he always take care of our safety from the crowded people and the rush of cars. Also we could have a good experience thanks to him. The AC vehicle was clean, the driver was also nice. But, I'm sorry for not remembering his name. Anyway we had a good time with Sameer.

We learned a lot - It was great to see a historical site of worship. Our tour guides were also excellent. We learned so much about marriage rituals, religion, history of the caves, and information about city land marks on the way to the ferry.

Fantastic Tour - The tour was great! Sameer picked us up from the hotel in an air conditioned car and was a great guide with a lot of knowledge of Mumbai! He accompanied us on the ferry and introduced us to the local tour guide from the village on the island who walked us through the history and meaning of all of the stone carvings. I highly recommend.
