Driver and guide were perfectly nice people however we feel there were several significant concerns which were not addressed despite a text conversation with the company/organisers after the trip. 1. There is no clear itinerary on tripadvisor. The real day went as follows: we were picked up, drove 45 minutes to a temple (didn’t realise we were going here), walked around for 10 minutes then drove a further 45 minutes to Bondla. We walked around Bondla for 30 minutes (it’s essentially a small zoo) then drove another further 45 minutes to the spice plantation where we spent about an hour and a half on the tour and having lunch. We were then driven 45 mins to a random gift shop and then home after this. The majority of the time was spent in the car with random stops that weren’t mentioned when booking. Perhaps added in to prolong the day. 2. Although the guide was a nice man, I think he is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. You do not need a guide to walk you around the zoo and the spice plantation have their own tour guides who actually teach you about the spices. 3. The price point for this is way too high. It’s priced for perfection and falls far short. We went on a similar tour the day before which cost less than half the price of this tour. The cost of entry to Bondla is less than 500 rupees each. The cost of the spice plantation is 500 rupees each (including lunch). The cost of a driver for the entire day can be around $45 online. As we said previously the guide was not needed. We raised our concerns RE the price with management and were met with hostility and told we were paying for the convenience of booking from home (we don’t feel that cost justifies $100). We don’t mind paying some extra but this is incredibly extortionate. It may be convenient for us to book from home but it’s equally convenient for a business to book customers ahead of time. We booked this on a whim because for some reason it has 5 stars. But if your idea of a good day is being driven around for 5-6 hours and spending a few hours exploring random pit stops you didn’t realise you were going to stop at and paying double the price for it then absolutely go ahead and book. But instead what could do is book it as 2 half days, hire a driver yourself and visit the places you actually want to visit it. Definitely do the spice plantation as it was amazing but you do not need someone to baby sit you while you do it. Very little value added for a large price. We asked for a cost analysis from the company (we are of course happy to pay a fair price to both drive and tour guide) but were given no clarity so cannot help but feel the company is pocketing the $100 extra for the “convenience” of being their customer. If they reply I sincerely hope they include the exact cost of the trip for their customers sake.

The tour overall was great. We did the option of going to both Ajanta and Ellora. Just make sure to check the dates you plan on going, because you can only do both sites on certain days! We did pay extra for a guide, which was well worth it. These are very historic sites with lots of statues, figures, paintings, etc. So it was nice to have an expert there to explain what each thing means. You will also be shown some shops on the side, but that is fine because there is plenty of time for the tour for the most part (we didn’t get to see all of Ellora, but we did get to see 100% of Ajanta).

Had to spend a day in Delhi because of a layover . .. me being a History buff, I needed someone who I could talk through. Jai was exactly that, smart, local and opinionated. I enjoyed the walkthrough the bazaars of Old Delhi! The highlight of trip was visiting the Haveli of Mirza Ghaib!

What a experience as a Art Lover 🎨 Definitely a must see when in Delhi, also you need at least Half a Day to Explore. Also don't forget the have lunch at its famous Cafe Lota. #FolkArtbyKanika

One pf the best activities we had in Goa. The churches and cathedrals we visited were impressive: monuments of faith dating of more than 500 years, and the plantation Farm really worth visiting We were luck enough to see the body of Sao Francisco Xavier in the last day in the Basilica do Bom Jesus, iconic church and important pilgrimage centre in India. At the Plantation Farm we experienced one of the most fragrant and tasty meals in Goa. Really lovely food and interesting walk around with a local guide to get to know Indian spices Our tour guide and driver were so kind and ready to take us wherever we wanted in Old Goa and surroundings . Tips: when entering the churches and temples, make sure you are wearing appropriate attire (no short or short dresses) out of respect Ask to taste Feni at the Farm, a fragrant liquor made out of cashew apples. Very strong

The tour was smooth. The driver was on time plus very helpful. The car is also really nice and has ac. So overall would definitely recomend the tour.

This experience was phenomenal. Jai Singh is a fantastic guide with deep knowledge of Old Delhi and great flexibility. He tailored the tour to our interests and made the experience memorable. Highly recommended!

Everything went smooth, Irfan -our driver picked us up from the airport on time and we headed straight to the Ajanta caves. He stayed in touch with us to pick us up after we were done with the caves. Then we headed to Ellora caves, where he told us the must see caves and where to go and how to get the entry tickets. He also suggested a local place to eat around Ellora caves that was amazing in taste and price. Jai contacted us few days before the trip to tell us that the whole plan depends on our flights and possible delays, and if we won’t have enough time we might have to cut the trip short, which is totally understandable. But we have managed to see all of the Ajanta and Ellora caves in one day!!! We arrived to Aurangabad at 6:30am and got back to the airport at 6pm and that is just enough time for both of the caves. We truly recommend this tour if you want to see both caves in one day.

Knowledgeable guide, knows the insights of the different structures. Will make sure safety is always first as the park as wild animals.

Great day birding at a hidden gem close to Delhi. If you want to get out of the city for a quick day trip then this is a great way to find some nature and beautiful birds. Well organized, knowledgeable guides, and worth the money!

The driver, who was also my tour guide as well, was very friendly and nice. We visited all the places that were listed open on Tuesday from the itinerary, except the polo ground. But that's okay: seeing it from afar was fine for me. We also did something not on the itinerary, which was Umami Reservoir, which was very nice. I got to try on the traditional Khasi clothes there and took photos of it. The driver/guide was nice enough to offer to take me to the botanical garden on the way back even though it was not listed on the itinerary; unfortunately it was dark when we passed by it and it was closed. Some English language communication issues here and there, but the tour was worth doing, and I recommend it to others.

The tour guide was well informed, and I learnt a lot about old heritage houses and local residential areas, and he also took many photos of me near each attraction. Well worth a booking and certainly value for money. You'll feel exhausted towards the end of the tour due to the full-packed nature of the day. The only drawback of the tour was having to pay extra to be collected from my hotel, which was quite costly. Lastly, the meal at the plantation was really an added bonus.

What a day to remember. We saw so many wonderful sights including the Synagogue and Lodi Gardens. Then to Old Delhi where the chaos, noise, colours were amazing. The tour guide Jai was so knowledgeable and made the day so interesting. We felt we really saw the real India.

Enjoyed the trip. Good guide and driver - felt very safe. There were 2 unplanned stops to a hindu temple and old Goa which were interesting but unnecessary for us. It would have been nice to have been given the option for these before hand. Wildlife park is well cared for if a little scarse on animals. Some knowledge on the local birds would have been appreciated.

We traveled by road from Pune to Aurangabad. Is spite of the rainy season we had a pretty much uneventful journey. We stayed in a Tata group hotel called Ginger. Very well maintained facility with a Restaurant included for easy dining facility. We had originally planned to visit Ellora on the day of our arrival in Aurangabad but because of the crowds we decided to postpone the visit to another day. The following day we drove to Ajanta caves and spent the entire day there. It was truly an amazing experience. Even more amazing was the visit to Ellora. Both locations are worth a visit for any travelers vising that part of Bharat.
