“This was a great experience! Having a driver made the whole trip to Ellora and Ajanta smooth and easy, and my driver (S S Patel) was very accommodating and flexible. I didn’t request a guide but am sure it would have been a great choice as well. I would definitely use this company again in the future. And of course the caves were incredible”

“Great full-day private-car tour of Ajanta and Ellora Caves with the friendly and professional driver Samad, who picked me up at Aurangabad Airport at 6:15 AM (IndiGo from BOM) and we set-off for the 2-hour drive to Ajanta. There was time to eat a quick breakfast at 8:00 AM before the Ajanta Caves open at 9:00 AM. After about 3-hours at Ajanta, we continued on to Ellora, about 90-minutes to 2-hours away, with another quick stop for lunch. After Ellora, you may have time to stop by a saree weaving/handloom workshop and drive through a few of Aurangabad's impressive 52 city gates. Easy communication with the tour agency owner Sherkhan…”
