Nikhil was so knowledgeable and kind, keeping us safe while navigating the caves and sharing the stories of the deities and the workmanship. Plus he gets to skip some lines 😉
Thank you for your kind review, Amanda! We’re glad Nikhil made your visit informative, enjoyable, and smooth.
I took the ferry to the Elephant Caves and when I arrived, Nikhil asked me if I’d be interested in a guided tour. At first I thought I could manage on my own, but after hearing about the tour, I decided to go with him – and I haven’t regretted it! Nikhil took a lot of time to explain all the details about the caves, as well as giving me lots of information about the gods and Hinduism. I was impressed by all the knowledge he shared with me. I can highly recommend the tour with Nikhil, a local guide who lives on the island himself. On the other hand, you miss out on a lot of information, which I personally find a real shame!
Thank you, Sidonia! We’re thrilled you had a great experience with Nikhil. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
