I had the pleasure of being guided by Mr Qadeer who was an exceptional tour guide who left a lasting impression on my cave experience. His intelligence and knowledge about the caves was amazing. What stood out even more was his willingness to go above and beyond to ensure we got back to the airport on time. His combination of knowledge and friendliness made the experience enjoyable. I would highly recommend services to anyone seeking an enriching travel experience in India.

The beginning was a disaster, we left AURANGABAD an hour late, they sent us a small car when the contract was an SUV for the driver, guide and four participants. After an hour of arguing and wasting time with a man ASHISH from the agency, what we had requested and PAID for arrived. The guide and the driver with their proactive attitude saved the situation. This wasted hour meant getting to places with epic crowds, but the two places are certainly unique. I understand that we are in a country with limitations, but that does not allow the agency to go on selling something that does not send you later. I also spoke with the GETYOURGUIDE customer service and it was quite deficient, they only answered via WHATSAPP but they did not resolve anything, it was all with Mr. ASHISH who tried to justify in an unjustified way not complying with the agreement.
