Elephanta Island - well worth a visit. - This was our second tour with Kavita as our guide. She was friendly and informative and made sure we enjoyed our tour. The Elephanta caves were wonderful to visit and we enjoyed learning about history of the Hindu god Shiva. The ferry trip to the island was also enjoyable.

Understand the historical significance of the caves. - Our guides Neha and Trikal were top notch. Neha lives in the city and Trikal is the 4th generation on the island. They really know their stuff providing fantastic information about the city and the caves themselves. Neha greeted us as we arrived to take the boat out to the island and served as our escort up to the beginning of the tour. We were then handed off to Trikal. Neha waited for us to escort us back to the mainland on the boat and help us find taxis afterwards. Both were very friendly, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and kind. I highly recommend the company for any of their tours and will be taking another one before I return back home.

Too bad about the portuguese - After an hour long boat ride you arrive on the island Which has monkeys and a lot of memorabilia to sell. The cave part of the tour has a guide from the island itself. The caves were partially destroyed by the portuguese when they were Trying to convert the locals. Unfortunately they destroyed the lower part of each carving / scene / statue. Imo this is the best Unesco site of Mumbai. A guided tour is good as you get a lot more background for how the island works etc. My tour guide was Kavita and the whole process was smooth.

Good cultural experience - The first time I came to visit this place, I needed to take a boat and a small train after arrival. My guide was Neha and Pankaj. They made the whole process quite smooth, which saved a lot of time to check the data. I also shared some local culture and stories, so that my gains exceeded expectations and made me know more about Indian culture.

Cave exploration - It was a seamless transfer from my hotel to the Elephanta Cave. Our guide Pooja and another were amazing. Their enthusiasm and careful planning made out trip stress less and enjoyable. Once we reached the cave, Pooja introduced us to the local guide. His knowledge and explanations made our trip very interesting and educational. Bravo to the Magical Mumbai Tours and the guides. Definitely will introduce them to my friends

Cruise to Elephanta Caves - This didn't disappoint, right from the timely pickup by my guide Armaan, to the cool cruise on the ferry to Elephanta Caves. I was a little nervous about having strangers as part of my trip, but the guide made everything smooth with a flawless coordination. I couldn't be more grateful to have picked Magical Mumbai Tours and met Armaan. He's been that little brother and a great friend who makes everything better.

Elephant Caves - The day was beautiful, the ride to the island was entertaining with the passengers feeding the birds and trying to get a picture of it. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the island, caves and the culture. He is the 4th generation of his family to work on the island. We shared our tour with two young ladies from New Jersey, just like us.
