I was very satisfied with being able to see Ajanta and Aurangabad thoroughly. The driver also taught me a lot about India, which was very educational. I visited at the end of April, so it was very hot. However, there was no humidity, so it felt cool in the shade. It was good to visit Ajanta for one day and Ellora for one day, splitting it into two days. I think it would be difficult to do it in one day. I am very glad I participated, as I was taken to see the city of Aurangabad and beautiful scenic spots!

The guide was good but limited himself to explaining the sites We spent the whole day with him and only if I asked him something about what we saw on the road he answered, I think he could improve his attitude.
