fascinating caves; beautiful park - Sanjay Gandhi National Park is just 1.5 ~ 2 hours from Mumbai City. And the caves inside the park are fascinating. Mr. Sameer introduced Mumbai and the caves along the way. Very professional. I was able to take my time enjoying the beautiful park and Kanheri caves. He gave great tips for what to look for and to listen in the caves and in the park. Deers, many cute monkeys and hawks were spotted. The tour ended with Mandapeshwar Caves. A great experience you must have when you visit Mumbai.

Great Tour Guide - 10/10 tour. Sameer was a great tour guide and super friendly. We were picked up right on time and didn't feel rushed at all during the tour, Sameer really took his time to carefully explain the meaning behind each cave. Would recommend anyone wanting to explore the local caves of Mumbai to give the tour a go.

Cave Tour and Bogota - Sameer is the best guide with a great deal of knowledge about the history of Mumbia. His is friendly and easy to talk to. As the owner of the company he went above and beyond to make it a great experience. You will not be disappointed.

Cave monasteries - This is a great place to experience the forest that once covered this whole area, as well as to visit the caves and view the carvings made by Buddhist monks centuries ago.

Amazing day trip during long layover! - This trip was SO worth the cost!! We had a 20hr layover and Vikrant was SO accommodating for us. He picked us up from the airport, took to a great breakfast spot then we headed to the caves where we got amazing pictures (he's a great photographer) and had wonderfully detailed stories. He was helpful if we needed help hiking up and steep sides but it was very manageable for us three. Then we went for a local bus ride which was cool to experience local means of travel. Then we got into the Mumbai part of the tour where we explored so many spots, including a train ride to experience the most used mode of transportation in Mumbai. We had an amazing lunch stop and then we kept exploring. We got to see an amazing Hindu Temple and service and felt so welcomed. Our flight was really late (2am) so Vikrant helped us arrange to keep the car an extra 5 hours to explore more. We were exhausted after traveling for 2wks but he was very kind and helpful and made the extra excursions worth it!! It was wonderful and I'd highly highly recommend!! Note: I tried to upload pictures but the website wasn't working but it was amazing!

Fascinating Kanheri cave tour - I was staying in Goregaon so I decided to book this tour as the national park is nearby and this company offer pickups from the area. The tour was quite expensive for just one person but I wouldn't have gone alone so it was worth paying for. Sameer is an excellent guide and the caves are fascinating. The cave area is very peaceful which is unexpected so close to the city. The park and bus are quite busy at the weekend so go in the week if you can.
