Knowledgeable guide, professional drivers and clean cars! - We enjoyed our trip to Ajanta & Ellora with Mr. Ali as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and patient. Highly recommend this tour company if you are visiting the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar area.

Would highly recommend this tour - We liked Ellora caves more due to the impressive Kailashnath Hindu temple. Also there were electric buggies and wheelchairs available. The Ajanta caves involved a lot more walking and climbing which at times can be challenging for seniors or people with mobility issues. However they had the chairs which four people carried on their shoulders but looked a bit scary. The caves themselves were very impressive. Our tour guide Deepak was wonderful throughout the trip and was excellent in narrating the history of these places. Our driver Mr. Sulehman was excellent and friendly. Overall trip was great.

Magical antiquity - We had a wonderful trip visiting Ajanta and Ellora. The driver was very personable and accommodating regarding everything. He took us to very good local restaurants that were not touristy or expensive. Absolutely would recommend this outfit.

Awesome private guided trip to Aurangabad’s best attractions - I booked a guided solo trip with Tour My Choice to visit the Ajanta and Ellora Caves, and Bibi Ka Maqbara. I am really glad that I decided to book this trip. Sher Khan was very responsive to my list of questions prior to the tour. The driver and the guide were professional and accommodating. I especially appreciated my government tourism office-certified expert guide, Deepak. He was very pleasant to be around, extremely knowledgeable, super attentive and understanding. In addition to his tourism knowledge, he is equally intelligent and informed about the current affairs, geopolitical issues, and cultural differences around the world. I really enjoyed talking with him. The time he spent in the caves explaining the history, religion, stories, and the connections was most helpful. Even though I only remembered a fraction of the vast amount of information presented to me, I have significantly deepened my understanding of the multi-cultural and multi-religious aspect of India. If you decide to visit, I highly recommend considering Sher Khan’s tour packages to get the most out of your trip. I would definitely book with them again.

Great way to see the caves! - This was a great experience! Having a driver made the whole trip to Ellora and Ajanta smooth and easy, and my driver (S S Patel) was very accommodating and flexible. I didn’t request a guide but am sure it would have been a great choice as well. I would definitely use this company again in the future.

Great - This two day tour was a highlight of my EPIC holiday in India. I took this part of the trip solo. My guide, Mr. Deepak, was knowledgeable, kind, and generous. One of my favorite moments was when we stopped at a little roadside market, roamed as Mr. Deepak told me about the local fruits and veggies, and then stopped to enjoy a most deliciously sweet mango. The restaurants over the two days were excellent. The first day we stopped and ate a a little roadside restaurant with a great view of rolling mountains (and roaming cows, of course). I ordered a mango lassi, chapati, masala aloo, and then topped off with a tiny coke. It was here that I had my first Indian after dinner mouth refresher of fennel and sugar crystals. YUM. We'd been in India for several days at that point and this was the first time l'd had it. Getting from place to place was a breeze. Mr. Santosh, an expert driver, got us comfortably everywhere we needed to go in a clean and cool (but not too cold) vehicle. Now for the reason of the tour, the caves. They are spectacular. Mr. Deepak's cool demeanor and knowledge about the caves was a cherry on top. From pointing out and telling the stories of Buddha depicted on the painted walls of Ajanta, to giving meaning to the carvings in the many caves and monuments in Ellora, I was blissed out. I have always heard that Ellora was the must visit. Kailasa is extraordinary, true. But Ajanta is fascinating, too. The wall paintings, faded and time corrupted as they are, came to life with my guide. We also went to Bibi Ka Maqbara, which is looks like a miniature Taj Mahal. It’s indeed referred to as the Taj of the Deccan. Lots of stories and architectural history here. Very nice, of course. I feel as if I was blessed there in Aurangabad. I feel as if I was blessed there in Aurangabad. From the instantaneous and concise communication of Sherkhan, to the knowledgeable and kind nature of my guide Mr. Deepak, to Mr. Santosh, the expert driver, to the caves (!) and Bibi Ka Maqbara ...everything. I am forever grateful.
