          The car that was sent was horrible. Didn’t have any pick up in the hills. The AC filter didn’t work.
          The car was very old, horrible, had no power to go up the hills. The AC filter didn’t work and there was smell of diesel in the car and our bodies got covered in some black carbon stuff.

          Such a memorable experience.
          We had a wonderful day at the Ajanta Caves. As a practicing Buddhist it was so amazing to experience these caves. Our driver was wonderful, very sweet. Afterwards he took us to an amazing vantage point where we could look down on the caves and really see the whole geographical view. Totally amazing! Our guide was very knowledgeable and his English was very good.

          Awe Inspiring Testament to Skill and Artistry of Ancient Indian Craftsmen
          I recently visited Ajanta Caves - a UNESCO Heritage Site. We drove there from the Kailas Resort near Ellora where we were staying. Since we left early, it took us just over two hours to cover the 100-odd km. There is ample parking space and since we reached early, we could get a nice shady spot. From the parking, one has to walk through a small area filled with shops and dhaba-type restaurants, where we chose to have our breakfast. It is thereafter a short walk to the bus embarkation point and the bus takes about 10 minutes to reach the actual site. After purchasing your tickets, you are required to do a fairly steep climb of about 10 minutes. The climb has both steps as well as a ramp and there are also dolis for those who may be physically challenged. One reaching the top, one gets a good panoramic view of the caves as well as the valley below, through which a stream runs. blown away by the beauty and grandeur of the place. Though there are 29 caves in all, you can only see and explore 26, with Caves 1, 2, 16 and 17 having the most famous paintings and Cave 26 having the most famous sculptures, including one large sleeping Buddha. You have to remove footwear while entering most of the caves. Also, videography and flash photography are not permitted inside the caves. The caves are a true testament to the skill and artistry of the ancient Indian craftsmen who created them. The intricate carvings and paintings on the walls are simply breathtaking, and the sheer scale of the caves is awe-inspiring. I was particularly impressed by the way the caves have been preserved and maintained over the years, which has helped to keep them in such excellent condition. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Ajanta Caves to anyone who is interested in history, art, or ancient architecture. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience that you won’t forget anytime soon!

          Highly recommend! Definitely visit Aurangabad and engage the services of Aurangabad by Local!
          I had a positively seamless experience with my dealings with Aurangabad by Local. They arranged my forward and returned Aurangabad airport transfers, 1 day Ellora Caves and Aurangabad city sightseeing tour and 1 day Ajanta Caves tour. My driver Salman was friendly, knowledgeable and drove safely on some very rough roads that were being upgraded. Aurangabad is a 'dark horse' as it was a highlight in my one month tour of northern India.

          Basically it was a good trip. The driver is modest and very nice person. He could propose various plans for me other than going to Ajanta caves. One thing. I was told that from my guide that it is good to visit here in rainy season because trees are beautiful.

          Nice driver. Guide was official guide from the cave(only official guide from the cave can guide), maybe because I was alone, I was sent in joint group started from the middle. Don’t know why some other guy was sitting with me in the car and showing his shop in the end of the tour.

          Mohsin is a fantastic driver. He is also a wonderful human being. We booked his taxi service for three days to visit Aurangabad Caves, Ajanta and Ellora Caves. He was patient, cordial and most empathetic.

        I had the team tailor a package to my requirements as a solo traveller. I was picked up from the airport dropped at my hotel & collected the following day for a full day (7am until 8pm) travel & sightseeing.

        Everything ran very smoothly, educated driver with great english even stopped for food at very reasonable priced restaurants

        After all the sightseeing I was also picked up & dropped off at the airport

        Highly recommend

        I was a solo traveller to Aurangabad. Stayed three nights. I had a comfortable stay .
        Mr.Shoaib contacted me even before my arrival to enquire if I needed any arrangements to be made by him. I was so relieved that he called me because I did need some help for arranging a vehicle for my travel around the city for sightseeing and shopping. He was good enough to help out and even sent a pick up to the bus station for me.
        Knowing very well I was a solo traveller he made sure I had a comfortable and safe stay.
        Aurangabad is a truly beautiful and historical place to visit. People are hospitable and helpful...specially Mr.Shoaib who made sure I had a happy and comfortable stay.

        The advertisement is misleading, the price of the two-day tour is not the 36 euros it says, when you hire it you get that it is only the visit to Ellora, there are other agencies that do both for less. The driver stopped us so he could eat on the first day, having had 3 hours to do so while we visited the caves. The second day for which we paid 2750 rupees he tried to stop three times again but we asked him not to because we were in a hurry. I don't recommend it but if you hire it, specify the price first.

        It’s a unique experience to see the sculptures, structures and paintings in the caves of Ajanta and Ellora. They are beautiful and astonishing.
        The roads to Ajanta which are 120 km from Aurangabad are not maintained well and in poor condition.

        Our trip was made special by our wonderful guide and driver, Shoaib who took special care of us. Certainly ajanta and ellra caves are a MUST SEE. My sister and I were given the freedom to do the cave exploring on our own or have an escort. We had extra time to do textile shopping or take scenic tours of the city. Everything was perfect. Shoaib was certainly entertaining, warm and on time. I would highly recommend him.

        Wonderful experience visiting the caves - a long overdue trip. We are so glad to have finally made it. It was a truly beautiful trip - both the natural beauty and the paintings and sculptures. Mr Shoaib’s wonderful service and suggested itinerary made it easy to cover the wonders in our stipulated time!
