5.00I could recomend this trip to someone who wants to see Elora Ajanta and Lonar but doesnt have a clue how to get there. The combined transport aspect of the trip was the most important for us. The driver Suleman has a lot of knowlege about the landscape and gives interesting fun facts. The guides Were also wery good in explaining everything.
An unforgettable tour!

5.00Tour My Choice organised an unforgettable road trip for us which started in Mumbai, continued to Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Aurangabad, Bijapur, Hampi, Badami and ended in Hubli. Thanks to the professional organisation of Sherkhan and the excellent services of Mannan, our attentive driver, we absolutely enjoyed our tour and were overwhelmed by the unique UNESCO World Heritage Sites and numerous other monuments we visited during our tour. The tour from Aurangabad to the Ajanta, Ellora and Badami Caves, as well as to Hampi is absolutely fascinating and offers the visitor the unique chance to witness cultural treasures of unique interest and beauty. We definitely recommend the specific tour, as well as the agency Tour My Choice who made this road trip possible!
Great affordable package

5.00This was a very easy, safe tour. They provided the drivers information the day before he tour and scheduled a pick up time. They even offered to have a driver pick us up at the airport the day before our tour at a small fee. This made it very easy for us. Our driver Mr Suleman was very professional and knowledgeable and a careful, courteous driver. He even assisted us in finding a guide since this package did not include a guide. Overall, I would highly recommend booking this tour!
Excellent service!

5.00We have had Suleman for two days and have been very happy with him. He is very professional and courteous and his English has been great. We’re looking forward to having him again tomorrow. (We’re a couple plus parents from Canada.) We would definitely use Suleman and Aurangabad Tours Guide again.
