I took the Kanheri Caves & National Park tour with Rahil Khan and the experience right from the start, from the excellent commutation to the pick up was excellent. The tour was absolutely stunning and was in 2 parts, first to the national park, we travelled through tropical lush green forest and a saw a few tigers, lions, deers and plenty of monkeys. The lions and tigers were in a large compound and are allowed to run free in the night after the park is closed. Rahil Khan has a great rapport with the local community and tribals there and it was great for me to get an opportunity to interact with them and sharing the local fruits that they were selling. There was a great coffee shop stop he took me on the way to the park. The second part of the tour was the magnificent world heritage treasures of KANHER CAVES, beautifully carved into a rock mountain. This used to be occupied by a whole community of Buddhist monks approximately 3000 years ago. Highly recommend this experience with this company of which Rahil Khan is the CEO. It’s a must do experience in Mumbai.

My tour guide Rahil picked me up at the hotel and drop me back after the tour. Rahil was very friendly and entertaining. He handled all tickets and transportation inside the park. His knowledge of the Park and the Kanheri caves is excellent. We visited two museums and the tiger reserve at Sanjay Gandhi National park and after that we proceeded to Kanheri caves. He took care of all expenses and we had a delicious meal at the local restaurant at the end of our tour. I would highly recommend this company.
This was a wonderful experience! Our tour guide Dave was informative and cordial. He gave us the history of the caves and he even had us test the acoustics with some chanting. Dave was a willing photographer and was helpful in pointing out restrooms and snacks. Our driver picked us up and the drive was smooth and quick.

This was one of the most memorable tours we have experienced in recent times. The day started with the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, leading on to the historic Kanheri Caves. The care, and attention to the smallest of details by Rahil Khan, who operates this, is mind blowing. From fresh fruits to water to lining up tickets and permissions to walking us through detailed and informed explanations of the two sites made it a very rich experience for us. There are some moments that remain etched in my mind. Like when Rahil Khan offered to click pictures for us as we made our way to the highest levels of the caves. Or the way he offered space in our car arranged by him, to a young army family, so that they could reach their destination on time, showed us what a fine human being Rahil Khan is. Rahul's knowledge of the Park and the Kanheri caves is extensive. His generosity is amazing. We look forward to many more experiences with Rahil.
Dear Babitabaruah70, Thank you very much for your lovely 5 star review. It’s great to know that you had the most memorable Tour visiting the Kanheri Caves and Sanjay Gandhi National Park. I am humbled by your wonderful words for me. Much love, Rahil Khan CEO +919767729782 World of Bollywood Tours, Mumbai.
World of Bollywood again picked an attraction that I would never have thought about. Rahil Khan is a true tour operator who understands how to look after every single person in the group. This was a hidden gem so thanks again for looking after my son.
We had a very interesting tour with Rahil. It was convenient that he picked us up and brought us back to the hotel. It was nice to have someone who could more easily navigate the park entrance entrance fees and expectations and was happy to explain that to us. It is clear he is passionate about nature and animals.
Do not do this - scam. The tour guide was nice, but knew nothing about the caves and lied when I asked him questions. I asked him what language the inscriptions are in and he said it's an ancient language that no one knows! Such an expensive price for a guide who didn't know anything at all. On top of that, once we were there he told me we needed to hide the fact that he is giving a tour from the guards at the caves. At the restaurant, he orders bland butter chicken with garlic naan. The restaurant was beautiful, but I don't like unseasoned food and prefer plain bread to garlic naan (I wasn't given a choice with that, it just appeared). Save your money and pick your own restaurant/food. The caves are easy to get to and if you go alone, you can immerse yourself at your own pace, not feel like you are there against the policies, and not leave with false information. I only learned the truth after I got home and was suspicious that supposed nothing at all was known about the caves
Dear Ms. Sam, Namaste. We thank you for writing the review about the experience you had on the Kanheri Caves Tour booked with us on 21st April 2024 & bringing your disappointing experience to our notice. We are extremely sorry & saddened to learn that you were disappointed with the service provided by our guide Mr. Sho. 1) He has been well trained & given adequate knowledge about the caves and its history, and has taken tourists several times there. Nevertheless we are extremely sorry that he was not able to answer your questions about the inscriptions on the walls of the cave. 2) About the security guards at the caves: There are plenty of guards there who try to force themselves as guides on international tourists so that they can demand money or tips from the foreign tourists. Some of them also behave like the local mafia and do not like guides of tour companies to accompany international tourists to see the caves. They do this so that later on they can extract or demand money or tips from international tourists for forcing themselves to become guides for tourists. This was the reason that Sho made the request to you. We are sorry that he was unable to communicate the same clearly to you which led to the misunderstanding. 3) We are happy to know that you found the restaurant beautiful. However, we are extremely sorry that Sho did not ask your choice of food before placing the order & we sincerely apologise that the taste of the food was not to your satisfaction. We will ensure that this won’t be repeated. 4) We would like to assure you that we place a lot of importance on the value we provide to all our wonderful customers like your good self. Your satisfaction and happiness means everything to us. We humbly request you to not consider us as a ‘scam company’ as we try our best to provide great value for money & a memorable experience to all our wonderful customers. We try to have as many inclusions as possible to make sure that everything is taken care of and our customers have a hassle free, comprehensive, enjoyable & memorable tour with us. E.g. - In the KANHERI CAVES tour selected by you, the following things were included & arranged for: 1) Pick up from your hotel 2) Air conditioned private car with a safe and experienced driver at all times. 3) English speaking knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and well trained guide. 4) Snacks and refreshments. 5) All entry tickets to the park and caves. 6) Lunch in a comfortable & nice air conditioned restaurant. 7) Drop off to your hotel. We humbly request your understanding of the circumstances and would also like to assure you that strict action will be taken against the guide for providing such a poor & unacceptable level of service inspite of being well trained and being an experienced guide from the last 6 years. We sincerely apologise to you for the inconvenience and poor experience you had because of our senior & experienced guide. We assure you that necessary action will be taken against him and we will ensure that this is not repeated in the future. We hope that on your next visit to Mumbai, you will give us an opportunity to serve you again so that we can live upto your expectations & ensure that you have a very positive and memorable experience on our tours. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Kindest regards, Rahil Khan. CEO. Cell: +919767729782 World of Bollywood Tours, Mumbai, India.
It was my second trip with Rahil this week. We started with Sanjay Gandhi National park where we visited two museums and the tiger reserve. We were told it was our lucky day as we sighted quite a few tigers, a lion and a lioness. The nimbu paani, fresh papaya and chana sold by the indigenous tribe folks was delicious. We then proceeded to Kanheri caves. The climb is steep but totally worth it. The caves are historic and fairly well preserved. What was pleasantly surprising was the knowledge of the security guards about the carvings and the age old relics. Rahil was his usual caring self and the perfect attentive host. Yet another memorable experience for me.
Our Guide Davo was excellent. He had knowledge of the caves, took care of all expenses and he was friendly and entertaining. The meal provided was well beyond expectations. I would highly recommend this company.
Very good trip. Our guide (Shoaib) arrived on time. He handled all tickets and transportation inside the park. He was also an excellent guide for the caves themselves.
