Best Guide - Awesome experience of boat trip to Elephanta cave with Linda Tours. Guide, Mr.Rajat was punctual in starting the tour. He was polite & caring all through the tour. He is from Rajabandar, one of the three villages in Elephanta mountain. So he had rich knowledge of the place & history. He explained everything in detail, took lot of fabulous pictures of me in my camera, in the cave and made sure I am enjoying. Felt lucky to have Mr.Rajat as my guide today. I will strongly recommend Mr.Rajat & Linda tour.

Great tour with Sam! - Sam was an incredible guide for the Elephant Caves tour! He spoke excellent English, making it easy for everyone in our group to understand and engage with the rich history and cultural significance of the caves. His explanations were clear, insightful, and added so much depth to the experience. On top of that, Sam went above and beyond by helping us capture some great group photos, ensuring we have wonderful memories to look back on. Highly recommend taking a tour with him – he truly made the experience unforgettable!
