Great trip
Our guide, Sameer, was very informative and friendly. His explanations and history of the caves and pagoda was very interesting. The caves were quite jagged up and some stone steps have to be navigated, but there are frequent rests between caves. The Pagoda is stunning and the boat ride there very pleasant.

Passionate Guide through Mumbai
Vikrant was an amazing tour guide filled with plenty of passion to go around. It was an intimate experience to go all around South Mumbai to see what the city has to offer. It's like your own hop on/hop off tour. You'll see plenty of places - touristy and not so touristy. He's really passionate about this city and wants to make sure you're entertained the entire time. He will fill you in on as much as possible in a fun way. Highly recommended.
