It was great and Ali and his father took us everywhere. We had a great time. It is a must!
Hier is de vertaling naar het Engels, waarbij de warme en persoonlijke toon behouden blijft: "Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time and that Ali and his father were able to show you around everywhere. We will definitely pass your compliments on to them. We hope to see you again next time!
Ali is a very experienced guide, gave us a lot of tips and insights when we were visiting the various attractions. We also managed to try local foods to soak in the full experience.
Thank you very much for the review! We're so glad you had a great time exploring the attractions with Ali. He’s a wealth of knowledge, and we’re happy he could help you find some delicious local food. Hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!"
The guide and driver picked me up from the hotel. The ride was comfortable. I went on Sunday and there was a big crowd in Karla Cave due to festival. The driver and guide patiently got me through the crowd. The Karla cave is beautiful, but would suggest not to go on Sunday since it was very crowded. After that we visited the Bhunshi Dam and Tiger Cave. The view was great but a little foggy. Also sit doen and has some Indian snacks and Chai. Then we also took some more photos on the Lake and on the way. We just saw beautiful sunset. Overall the journey was pleasant. Honestly, I would say this is not the best views I have seen, but it is still worth traveling if you have a day spare in Mumbai

Ali was the best tour guide we could have asked for! We visited the Karla Caves along with a few spectacular viewpoints of the valleys of Lonavala. He gave us such in-depth and insightful explanations of the sites and the history of Lonavala. It was an unbelievable and beautiful experience filled with fun and learning. Ali personally guided us the whole day and we could not have had a better experience.

I enjoyed the Karla caves and the history lessons about the structure and the monks. The route was lovely, with many waterfalls along the way. The SUV and the ride were comfortable. The area has beautiful greenery and scenic views. The waterfalls, Lions Point, Tigers Point, and the cute monkeys at Monkey's Point were enjoyable. It was a fantastic tour.

Great tour of the beautiful green hills just outside of Bustling Mumbai led by Ashab, who is knowledgeable and charismatic. I saw many beautiful waterfalls, a remarkable ancient cave and shrine, and learned about how Mumbaikers get away from the city and in touch with nature. Wonderful stop at the dam and Lions Point.
Thank you for your incredibly kind words! It's fantastic to know you had such a memorable tour experiencing the tranquil green hills right on Mumbai's doorstep. We're especially proud to hear that Ashab's expertise and engaging personality made your visit to the waterfalls, ancient cave, and shrine so insightful, and that you got a true sense of how Mumbaikars embrace nature. We're delighted you enjoyed the dam and Lion's Point as well. We hope to see you again soon!
