Had a most fabulous day visiting Elephant Caves and city tour of Mumbai.
Javed was so professional and knowledgeable about his most wonderful city and was so attentive to any requests I had. He answered all my questions and made the day so memorable.
His driver Deepak was lovely stocked with lots of water and extremely helpful in ensuring I was dropped off at every sightseeing place with minimal walking.
Would highly recommend this trip

Javed was an amazing guide and Deepak our driver made the journey even more fun with his extra knowledge as we drove past important landmarks.
Trikal was the guide through the Elephanta caves and his detailed knowledge was impeccable - it was like walking with a traumas encyclopedia.
