          Nasreen our tour guide was wonderful , she explained everything very clearly and made the tour very memorable. We really enjoyed the spice market the historic buildings of Mumbai. We also had a great time at the Bollywood dance studio where Nasreen managed to get some amazing video shots. All in all the 5 Senses tour was a superb day out. Mike & Tina From Bath UK

          A memorable experience of Bombay heritage walk.
          Pankaj is a good human being and he knows the details of the heritage of Bombay and the UNESCO Buildings. He is effectively communicating the information which makes the tour fun and joy. As a host also he is very good. I would recommend Pankaj to all and especially to my friends and relatives.

          Experience India's amazing history and culture.
          Our guide Pankaj from 5 Senses Tours created a truly memorable experience. Not only did he provide valuable insight into the development of Buddhism in India but he also gave great descriptions of the amazing artistry of these 2000 year old carved Caves. Pankaj introduced us to some delicious local cuisine at a popular Lonavala restaurant. On our drive back to the Colaba area of Mumbai, he pointed out important attractions and recommended restaurants and monuments. He also ensured that we got properly checked in to our hotel.

          Amazing historical experience with great pictures and delicious food
          Ajit our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable not just about the Karla, Bhatia caves but the Maratha empire, the Buddhist religion spreading throughout India and a deep dive of the Indian freedom movement and Pune, Maratha empires role in it. Akshay our driver was really good as well. After taking many tours throughout India, in Rajasthan, etc, I found 5 senses to be one of the best companies so far - from professional tour guides to great attention to detail.

          Fantastic carvings in a national park
          The Buddhist caves in the national park are a gem. I took a guided tour and it was well worth it. Pankaj was an outstanding guide and his knowledge was refreshing I enjoyed the conversation with him about Buddhism and how it compares with the other great Indian religions. The sculptures and carvings were amazing. I would highly recommend this tour.

          Great experience with a lot of history
          We went to visit Bhaja and Karla caves. Our tour guide pankaj was a huge help in learning more about these caves and how they have changed throughout the years. He was also extremely helpful in choosing a great restaurant as well as picking out some of the best local food options!!! At the end of the tour he mapped out other sites and hidden gems for us that were in walking distance to our hotel! Great experience all around

          An excellent trip. The company truly cares about customer .
          A wonderfully informative trip where changes were made easily to accommodate an unexpected illness that happened during hike up to the caves. Pankaj is a very knowledgeable guide and the company truly cares for their customers. Best tour company I have seen anywhere in the world.

          The caves
          I recommend 100%. We learned a lot of interesting things and the guide has a lot of knowledge so if you have a tour with Pankaj, ask a lot of questions. The Caves and the Pagoda were beautiful and the guide was very nice

          Good tour of the city!
          Good laid back tour of Mumbai. I liked the pace and the info from our guide Pankaj. He was informative and knowledgeable. Some tour guides feel they have to chatter every minute and I hate that because I also like to enjoy driving around the city and observe. Pankaj was quieter but friendly and interesting. I really enjoyed the tour. It was raining and I had a knee injury - Pankaj and the driver rearranged the itinerary to take into account the rain and to help me manage the steps. Much appreciated!

          Great Overview of Mumbai!
          Pankaj and Prasanth were very competent guides around the city! As Mumbai locals, Pankaj was able to give us the facts and historical context about all the places we saw, and Prasanth was able to navigate the crazy traffic like a professional! We were well looked after and also got to enjoy a traditional lunch!

          The five senses tour was great, Every part was fascinating. Krupesh is a fantastic story teller full of great information about the culture, history, architecture of Mumbai and much more, Learning Bollywood dancing was a surprise and wonderful. The school for the abandoned children was very moving and genuine, The spice market and lunch was an explosion of smells and tastes, The colors of Mumbai will never be forgotten.

          Amazing Trip
          It was an amazing trip not much as expected but more of what it should have been like. Mumbai is and has always stayed amazing. Living in Mumbai never really got the time to explore it. It is simply amazing!

          Outstanding tour
          Wow this was a memorable tour. Madhu was an encyclopedia of knowledge and had tons of patience as well. He showed us remarkable sculptures, many 2000 years old and more importantly he examined the significance of each of them in Buddhism. He also helped is visualise this place as a global university for Buddhist education in the first century! I would highly recommend this tour.

        No journey anywhere near the Aurangabad District of Maharashtra State would be complete without a visit to the Ajanta and Ellora caves. These magnificent ancient Buddhist rock-cut architecture and cave paintings depicting the life and legends of the Buddha are an absolute must see. And 5 Senses Tours makes this journey safe, easy and, in general, incredible by coordinating the travel to the sites, lodging and accommodation and great guides that provide in-depth background on the caves and life in the region.

        Fabulous trip with 5 senses tours and Pankaj our guide. Very well organised and great hotels. Pankaj was very knowledgeable and taught us so much Indian history. We would rate this tour higher than 5 out of 5.

        We took this 6 day tour with Five senses tours to see 2 world heritage monuments at Ajanta and Ellora. These masterpieces are really one the best works of man. The Ajanta paintings are so life like. The temple at Ellora needs to be seen to be believed. The entire temple was carved out of Mountain top down. Zero margin for error. Incredible! Our guides were remarkable and the food was fantastic as well. We also enjoyed the lonar meteorite landing site. It a giant crater lake and our guide got his apparatus to show why the water is alkaline and saline at the same time. We were convinced after seeing a few more anamolies, about the extra-terrestrial impact on this land.
        The tour was organised remarkably well. I look forward to my next trip with this wonderful team.

        Thanks so much. It was our pleasure to help you experience the world heritage monuments of Ajanta and Ellora. I am also happy you found the meteorite Lake of Lonar also fascinating! It was our pleasure.
