Day tour of Ajanta and Ellora caves from Aurangabad - My tour guide, Mr Sherkhan, was professional, pleasant, helpful and accommodating. The local guides he picked for me for Ajanta (Mr Nasir - I hope I got the spelling correct) and Ellora (Mr Ali) were knowledgeable and enhanced my enjoyment of the whole experience

We did not get the service from Viator for which we paid and ended up getting the service from paying another provider. - We paid Viator for a guided tour of Ajanta & Ellora by pvt AC car from Aurangabad airport (IXU). The Viator assigned local tour operator did not respond to our or Viator attempts to contact him at the Viator provided phone number. We flew from BOM to IXU per our own prior flight booking for this tour. But did not find the Viator assigned tour operator or his driver at the airport pickup point. B/O that, in the last minute we ended up hiring a Taxi to go to the tour.
