Our guide Nasir was good but the private car was sh&t and I realized that Bombay doesn’t have so many places to visit. I could have rented a taxi for 10% of the cost and seen everything. Re the car, after paying $250 for 2 people, they arranged for a beat up old car that didn’t even have vents in the back. So while the driver and guide were good, it’s not worth $250. More like $50.

Memories of Mumbai

Rishi was an excellent guide. He made the trip very memorable ensuring our trip was safe and seamless. The guide on Elephanta was very knowledgeable and helpful too. Great value for money. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Disappointing but a beautiful moment

Genevieve_P, Mar 2024

Use Viator all the time- but first time it was disappointing. Our tour started off with our guide about an hour late. He arrived rushing us in the car and barely spoke to us and then he began talking when we realised he was on the phone. He continuously was on the phone and would make a random comment now and then about something and we never were sure if he was talking to us or whoever was on the phone. He lacked personal attention and was basically just transportation. Then we were transitioned to ANOTHER tour guide for the ferry ride to Elephanta. HOWEVER, when we arrived at Elephanta Caves, the was yet ANOTHER Tour guide who was absolutely AMAZZING! He saved the day with his personal attention to detail, wealth of knowledge and helped us take some amazing photos. We joined our previous tour guide for the ferry who seemed nice enough but when we arrived back to be picked up by our original tour guide, he was no where to be found. Our 2nd guide was trying to cover for his tardiness but then ANOTHER guide came and started talking to us without introducing himself. We thought we were trying to be scammed by someone for another tour when we eventually realised he was from the same company trying to by time for our.original tour guide to arrive. That was nice of him but he should have clearly introduced himself and that should not have been necessary to begin with. FINALLY our original tour guide arrived and took us to a different Laundry site than was pictured on our booking and was very vague with an information that we asked about. While walking a young man seemed friendly and we asked him a question about the site and then our guide gave us a huge attitude saying how long he had been providing tours and that he knew the answers to all questions. Amongst ourselves we were complaining a bit in Spanish and it seemed he may have understood we were unhappy so he tried to appease us by making a quick stop at Victorian Station where one of group members wanted to stop for a photo.

Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable of local areas. Easy to communicate too.

The Elephanta Cave was spectacular and very scenic. The local tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Took perfect pictures for us. Highly recommended.

Dear Guest , Thank you so much for writing such a beautiful review for us. We are very happy that you have loved and enjoyed all the experiences in Mumbai. We highly appreciate your effort and the time that you took to write the review. Thank you Kind Regards Bombay to Mumbai Tours Team

A great tour!

Hal_J, Feb 2024

We had a great experience on this day-long tour. We had a private car with AC and a very safe driver. We had a guide with us all the time, which is especially helpful to streamline the process of getting tickets and getting on the ferry, which is a bit hectic. You see a lot of Mumbai. We had 2-3 hours walking on the island with a great local guide who shared a lot of information. We never felt rushed. I highly recommend this tour when you are in Mumbai!

Worst Tour of my Life

Jacqueline_N, Jan 2024

This should have been a fantastic trip, but the service was non existent. I booked a private tour with air conditioned vehicle. I was met with an old taxi with windows rolled down. The guide took me to the ferry dock and told me someone else would take me over to the island. That would have been ok, but…That person arrived with his group. What happened to private tour? When we got to the island, he handed me over to another guide who took me up the mountain and explained about the cave. That guide was really good BUT at the end of the cave visit, he handed me off to another guide who took me down the mountain. He left me there. I was stranded. I had no guide to take me on the boat. Everyone asked where my guide was. I had already had four at this point. Another guide finally reached my “guide” on the other side of the river. This fifth guide put me on the boat but did not stay with me. I am a very senior woman who needed some assistance climbing on and off the boat. Strange people assisted. My “guide” was on the land waiting with no car. We walked variously places until car arrived half hour later. Afternoon tour of the city was to take place. The entire time we were in the car, the guide was answering telephone calls. Even at the outdoor laundry he was talking. I met another couple the next day who took the same tour and had a wonderful time with one guide. This tour ruined my time in Mumbai.

Packed Day!

victoriahegedus, Dec 2023

The Elephanta caves were beautiful and worth it! My guide for the day was Nisar. We got to the caves via the boat and I was handed off to another Elephanta tour guide who explained the history of the location, and gave an explanation of the sculptures of Shiva. From there we did the outdoor laundry, Gandhi’s house, and the hanging gardens. Nisar is a local from Mumbai and gave some interesting insights into the ongoing politics and current happenings.

Elephanta caves and mumbai tour

Matt_S, Nov 2023

Our tour of the Elephanta Caves with Nitin was fantastic. He was really knowledgeable about the caves and their history, and he made sure to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. Nitin took the time to take great photos for us even if we didn’t ask him to. He also gave us plenty of time to ask questions and explore on our own. The whole tour was really well-paced, and we never felt rushed. Overall, we had a great time at the Elephanta Caves, and we would definitely recommend Nitin as a tour guide. Our recent tour of Mumbai was an absolute delight, thanks in no small part to our exceptional guide, Neha. Her extensive knowledge of the city's history and culture shone through in her engaging explanations and anecdotes, making our exploration truly enriching. Neha's friendly and approachable demeanor put us at ease, encouraging us to ask questions and delve deeper into the city's captivating stories. Her passion for Mumbai was infectious, leaving us with an even greater appreciation for this vibrant metropolis. Without a doubt, Neha's expertise and enthusiasm made our Mumbai tour an unforgettable experience.

Amazing tour

Pamela_S, Oct 2023

Great tour which hits the highlights of what see in Mumbai with a good mixture of the Elephanta caves and the city sites. My sister and I had a wonderful time exploring Mumbai and learning about the history. And the Elephanta caves are amazing to see in person! The driver (Shambhu Singh) was very punctual and arrived early to pick us up from the hotel. There was an incredible amount of traffic and he did an amazing job navigating through everything. The only down side is that the amount of traffic makes it a very long day which was a lot more than the 8 - 9 hours mentioned in the tour description. But it was very nice that they didn’t cut anything out due to the traffic delays so we still got to see everything. Sahil was an excellent guide and took the time to describe each of the locations we visited in the city as well as some of the things we saw while driving by in the car. He took the time needed at each of the sites for us to walk around, ask questions, and take pictures. He also recommended places which were good to take photos of the sites as well as taking several pictures of us with our camera. We would definitely recommend him and this tour… and want to come back and visit India again!

Enjoy Mumbai

IChun_H, Oct 2023

I would like to thanks Nitin and Sunny to provide such good tour experience. Nitin is very knowledgeable and he is also a good photographer. I had a very good time at elephanta cave. Sunny is able to manage the city tour even with such bad traffic in Mumbai.

We had a great tour - both were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend, especially if you are in the city for just a short time.

Excellent Elephanta Tour

Good tour, but it's hard to avoid crowd, traffic, and heat in Mumbai

Lili_F, Dec 2022

The guides were very good and very experienced. The driver was excellent, very knowledgeable about the city, history, and people and he speaks good English. If it wasn't the heat, the dirty air , the terrible traffic and complicated concerns of the traveling routes, I would surely enjoy this tour more. My tour was on a Saturday, supposedly to be picked up at my airport hotel by 8:30am. There was a short delay because of the security requirements. I was still hoping to visit Elephanta before the crowd and the rise of temperature, but we made a few city stops first, I arrived there during the busiest and hottest hours. For some reasons, the elephanta guide the company booked for me was almost 30 minutes late, although the tour went well after. Both guides gave good explanations of the visited sites and took good photos.
