2 Day Private Ajanta and Ellora Caves Guided Tour.
"We booked our Ajanta and Ellora tours from Viator. The arrangements from picking us up from the Airport to the destinations, taking us to our hotel and then to the tours, being prompt the next morning to pick us up again, was fantastic and so well organized. Our driver - Sher Khan…… we cannot say enough about him and his service. He really took it upon himself to ensure we were well taken care of. His driving (in a city of crazy drivers) was all about our safety. He showed us around and ensured we were well informed. SherKhan is someone who I would highly recommend, this individual is all about taking care of his guests - I would not use anyone but this guy…..immaculate and with great customer service mentality. Special mention of our Tour guides - Mr Pitambar (Ajanta caves) and My Ajiyaz (Ellora) so knowledgeable, great English and super nice guys. All three Sher Khan and our guides are well worth the money spent and then some. We will highly recommend Sher Khan for your tours."..."
