- Shane H0 contributionsAmazing day in MumbaiWe had an amazing time. Kamlesh was brilliant and having him as a tour guide with all his knowledge of the city really brought things to life for us. My partner and I had a great time listening to the history but also the new modern parts of Mumbai and the cultural changes. We experienced both traditional tourist places but also experience the temples and less places of significance. Also, we were treated to a chai and tea and black tea which was freshly made. Tasted amazing! We had such a great day and would recommend to anyone.Written 28 October 2024

We are preparing a ‘foodie group’ visit in 2025 and find Rahul’s commitment to detail, local knowledge, service and standards to be top notch. To see the real Mumbai one must walk the markets and eat the neighbourhood food. This is where an expert is important to navigate our exact needs and ensure that the eateries are hygienic and safe for non-local palates. This can never be done out of the window of a coach or on the cheap. We have always got what we pay for with Youngs Tours.Written 12 October 2024

I especially recommend him to solo traveling girls since he makes sure everything is fully safe and properly plans the tour like integrating clean toilet stops. I heard from many women that they feel very comfortable with him. He has a broad knowledge of the global world as well and explains you everything in a way that western tourists like me will understand India better :)Written 11 October 2024

Hello! Did this tour last week and it was the highlight of my trip to Mumbai!!
Our guide Kamlesh was very kind, informative and helpful, beginning the tour before we’d even left Mumbai. He took us to visit two ancient caves, a local sweet factory and restaurant and an incredible vantage point.
The scenery at Lonavala was stunning, incredible green hillscapes, waterfalls and ancient architecture, but it was Kamlesh who made the whole thing extra special, proving context to everything we saw and going the extra mile to make sure we had a good time.
Couldn’t recommend enough!

I had the opportunity to experience my second tours with them :
Lonavala is one of the rare opportunity to visit the countryside if you only stay few days in Mumbai. In few words, Caves are surprising, mountains view are also beautiful, the visit of local candy factory is also very interesting, restaurant for the lunch is just delicious. On time; Many thanks to teams members that I met : Aadesh very pleasant safe car driver expert, Kamlesh Guide encyclopedia of the area with also broad knowledge of India. his company, is just above expectations. You can easily see it’s very well prepared upstream. They leave no space inconvenience, disappointment, no waste of time for parking, entrance tickets, great restaurant selection if included. They can adapt to your requests also. you can feel they have a code of conduct, you can close your eyes and trust them safely. Also ethical and sustainable. you can contact them afterwards for advises on anything. It was just the most interesting and reliable contacts that I met in Mumbai....so many thanks to them, It was great.

Excellent experience - smooth transactions, communication and pick up. When we learned that a road closure would prevent the original itinerary, Kamlesh thought quickly and found great alternatives. Highly recommend and would certainly use again!

This tour was really unique! We got to see caves, a fort and take pictures from Lion Point and Tiger point. Both beautiful views! Be warned that there is a bit of steep climbing involved so if you are not limber, be prepared to take it slow. Kirtan was an awesome tour guide and had a ton of knowledge to share at each site along with being very personable and fun! Didn't love the restaurant we ate at but otherwise it was an overall outstanding tour that got our heartrates up!

Amazing day! Everything that was promised on the description was delivered, and we had several surprises as well! The driver was very punctual and professional! The guide (Kamlesh) was very kind and had a lot of knowledge and personal experiences to share! We started with the caves, which were amazing and then we stopped on a local factory where they make treats that are famous in the region. We loved the candies and we got some as souvenirs! Afterwards, we drove the Lonavala to have lunch and very nice restaurant. We really loved the food. Lastly, we closed the day with beautiful pictures in the highest place around.

Well planned. Our tour lead (Kamlesh) was informative and helpful. Both, he and the driver, were pleasant company and we had a wonderful luncheon and tea experience.
This tour requires one to climb several (hundred) stone steps. So, important to have proper footwear. Also, as the tour proceeds towards the noon hour, it gets rather warm, so, advisable to wear a hat (or some head covering).

The tour with Sid was great! he is so knowledgeable about the area and locations we went. Sid was not only knowledgeable but personable and funny, a great way to spend our day. There was no rush when on this tour, allowing us a lot of picture-taking opportunities. We stopped for lunch and chia, both were amazing. Highly recommend this tour company and Sid as well!

Thank you for a wonderful visit today. Hardik was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and he explained all the details perfectly.
The two caves were fascinating, and the paramonic view of the valley was stunning.
We enjoyed the meal at the restaurant and we weren't expecting it to be so good - how wrong we were! It was a special treat to visit the Darshan Chikki business. We bought some of the delicious sweet treats for our friends too! A special shout-out for the driver who looked after us on the road.
Overall, it is a thoroughly enjoyable day out and a chance to leave Mumbai and reach out to nature and the great outdoors.

Stay away from lonavla if you do not own a personal vehicle. Local transport (cabs and autos ) are cut throats. They will charge you unjustified high fares.
Some places in lonavala are worth seeing, but the local transport kills all the good things about the place.
Also they will prevent cab aggregators like ola and uber.
Came once, not coming again.

Hello there
Thank you for your feedback, although we were surprised by your review since you did not book a tour with us.
Lonavala is indeed one of the best hill stations near Mumbai, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Families visit regularly to relax and spend quality time together. While local transportation can be challenging and fares high, this is typical of popular tourist destinations.
Our tours provide fully air-conditioned private cars with hotel-to-hotel service, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free experience. If you had booked with us, your concerns about local transport wouldn't have arisen.
Regarding your comments on cab aggregators, it's worth noting that local policies support the livelihoods of local drivers. For concerns about transportation regulations, we suggest addressing them directly with local authorities.
If your review pertains to local transport and not our services, please consider removing it, as it impacts our business unjustly. We are dedicated to providing excellent service, and we hope you'll book a tour with us next time for a truly enjoyable visit to Lonavala.
Thank you
Rahul

Excellent day out of the city.
Beautiful views and a delicious lunch in the best company posible. Pooja as the guide and Ashafak as the driver are the perfect duo.
I felt safe all the time even when I suffer from PTSD. Ashafak is an excellent driver.
And Pooja, this young woman goes out of her ways to try to place you. Took so many good photos of me. Being traveling solo that’s so helpful.
Was good also to be picked up and drop off your hotel.
And the 500 steps up to the caves were the perfect exercise lol
Will plan my other tours with them for sure.
