Mumbai is the cultural capital of India, home to world-class museums, stunning architecture, and some of the world’s busiest streets. Most tours only cover the Elephanta Caves or Mumbai, but on this guided visit you tick off the highlights in both areas, including Marine Drive and the famous rock-cut temples. Because it’s a private tour, you get plenty of personal attention, and hotel pickup makes for a hassle-free experience.

Elephanta Caves are a must do! Absolutely spectacular and our guide, Anand Sharma, was so knowledgeable and happy to share information with us. He coordinated with the driver and our transportation to and from the island and around the city was seamless. For lunch we went, at Anand’s recommendation, to a tiny restaurant serving the best Bombay sandwiches in the city. They were absolutely delicious along with the chai! Anand has a deep wealth of knowledge and is an excellent guide. Just wish we could have spent more time with him.
