“We had a lovely time being shown around Kuala Lumpur with Shiva. We went to some of the main sites, like the Bantu Caves, and Shiva answered all our (many) questions about the city and life in Malaysia. A great guide and a good way to see the city if you're short on time.”

Review of Mumbai’s private Elephanta Caves tour, with ferry, local guides, hotel pickup, UNESCO temples, costs, steps, and practical tips.

“We are so glad we booked this tour. It's totally worth the price. Our guide Rajat (a local of Elephanta Island) was early to our meeting point. He was very friendly and accompanied us on the ferry ride and to the caves answering all questions we had on Mumbai. Once there, he captivated us with the stories of each and every sculpture at the site. He also took some amazing pictures of us and was kind enough to wait for us buy local souvenirs. We were really impressed with his knowledge and are very grateful to him for making this tour memorable for us. Thankyou Rajat !”

“Jose was our guide and was wonderful! He picked us up at the cruise port, and we went to see and swim in a small cenote that is mainly used by locals. It was amazing. He told us some history about cenotes and their uses. We then drove to a restaurant/resort area on the beach and did some nice snorkeling. Afterward, we drove to the Jade Cavern and learned about some Mayan history. The cavern is gorgeous and we were able to swim and also jump in from a ledge up above. We then went to learn about making chocolate, tortillas, and tequila. This area is very touristy. We didn't…”
