our guide Raj was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He told us about the history of the cave, its historical importance and local traditions. the silk factory tour was a surprise, but no sales pressure. So it's ok.

The tour was nice and interesting. The time allocated (1.5 hours) was enough for the caves. We also made a short stop at batik shop. The guide (Darwin) was good and nice.
