Amazing caves thanks to D. Akash for his helpful suggestions!

4.00The caves were amazing. It was very helpful for the organizer D. Akash to suggest the best caves to see! We had trouble with our hotel wifi so I didn’t get the tickets for the second day! But they solved it instantly by sending them to the driver and I just took pictures of the tickets. We were impressed with his quick thinking! The driver was difficult to understand but he was pleasant and helpful. He could’ve been better at providing water bottles but other than that we really enjoyed the 2 days tour!
Don’t miss these caves

3.00The driver was nice but hard to understand. We were promised water but had to ask for it. I had to show the driver what was included in the tour as he didn’t seem to understand or chose not to follow what was promised. The car was comfortable and the AC was great. I’m glad I didn’t pay the extra for an SUV - didn’t need it. The caves were amazing!
Memorable couple of days.

5.00We had an amazing 2 days with Ameen. He was extremely helpful and friendly and arranged to pick us up earlier than stated on both days because it was so hot and adjusted our itinerary at our request - again, due to the extreme heat - 38-40 degrees. Both lots of caves were absolutely stunning. The Ajanta caves were older, covered a smaller area and had incredible paintings. The Ellora caves were more recent, covered a much wider area, with 3 different religions and had stunning sculptures. We had plenty of time at both locations and had no trouble finding Ameen again afterwards. Less able travellers need to be aware that there are a lot of uneven steps at both locations. We chose not to go to the fort due to the heat and the fact it has 750 steps! But Ameen stopped in a suitable spot for us to take a few photos. The Bibi Ka Maqbara was beautiful and quite atmospheric despite the fact that it is no longer in use. The gardens were well set out, although it was the dry season, so I should imagine they are lovely after some rain. The views were also great. Ameen drove carefully, kept us supplied with bottled water and pointed out places of interest along the way - lovely man.
Great way to get to Ellora and Ajanta

5.00Delightful tour and visiting of Ellora & Ajanta magnificent caves over two days. Those beautiful temples were definitely worth the drive. Vincent, our French speaking guide has shared so many interesting things about the history of those UNESCO sites and also about his personal long lasting experience of India. Booking this tour was a great experience, as well as staying at Akash's family homestay. Akash has been very helpful at organising all the details of the tour, plus accomodation and transportation. Thank you very much, I wish you all the best. Mathieu

5.00I contacted the akvin tourism agency to visit the caves of Ellora from Aurangabad because it offered me a guide speaking French which is quite rare in the Maharastra.I must say that I was more than delighted with my excursion and my French guide Vincent l associate of Akash has something to do with it.Vincent is passionate about the history of the Maharastra and has provided me with explanations beyond my expectations ...so I decided to call on vincent and Akash to visit the caves of Ajunta the following day.In the evening I slept at Akash s family or I received a very good welcome.I highly recommend this agency on Aurangabad. They are very friendly and love what they do...
Amazing experience - highly recommend

5.00Amazing experience in Aurangabad with Vincent and Akash - very spectacular caves, very insightful commentary and perfectly smooth logistics, from airport pick-up to various car travels & restaurant recommendations. First time in India and very impressed by the warm welcome: I highly recommend Alvin tourism and will definitely reach out to them again when I come back to India.

He also gave very interesting information hard customs. With all this unique culture I almost missed... Thanks again. You understand, I can no longer recommend that you have the same good idea as me. Good discoveries out of the ordinary!!!
