A cost effective taxi service
We took a one day taxi service to visit both the Ellora and Ajanta caves. The driver arrived to pick us up 30 minutes before scheduled which was great. Mr. Nana was a good driver but he can speak very limited English. We had a little communication problem. Also, there was no bottled water offered. It’s a good value for the service offered but don’t expect a lot.

Highly recommended - even in one day, you can enjoy Ajanta and Ellora caves
I fully enjoyed both Ajanta cave and Ellora cave in just one day! It's recommended to spend two days to explore these two caves (I agree with this), but if you only have one day, this tour is highly recommended. The driver is friendly, at the same time well mannered. So in the taxi, you can either learn about cities through the talk with driver or sleep and prepare for next exploration.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting both Ajanta and Ellora Caves in one day and found the tour well suited for a tight schedule. It’s great to know you appreciated the driver’s friendly and well-mannered service, whether for conversation or a restful ride. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again for a longer visit in the future. 😊

Great touring agency.
Amazing travel agency. They have done all that was possible and impossible to get me to see Ellora Caves - one of my dream places to see - after my flight was cancelled. The driver Mr. Samad, also great as a guide drove from Aurangabad to Mumbai to pick me up from the hotel, it went with us to Ellora Caves, and drove us back in the evening to the airport. Way beyond a driver would do. I want to thank the team at Tour My Choice for a very enjoyable experience with a great drive and a very nice guide. Thanks to them my trip to India was a very good one. And not a total waste because of the cancellations. The Ellora Caves experience was great, also Bibi Ka Maqbara. I am planning to return to visit Ajanta Caves and they are my choice for this next visit.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your incredible feedback! We are truly happy to know that we could help make your dream of visiting the Ellora Caves come true, even after the unexpected flight cancellation. Our team always strives to go the extra mile, and we’re glad that Mr. Samad’s dedication, long drive from Aurangabad to Mumbai, and support throughout the day made your journey comfortable and memorable. Your kind words mean a lot to all of us at Tour My Choice. It’s wonderful to hear that Ellora Caves, Bibi Ka Maqbara, and the overall experience added so much value to your India trip. We will be honoured to welcome you again for your next visit to explore the magnificent Ajanta Caves. Thank you once again for choosing us and for placing your trust in our team.

Perfect budget friendly trip in all safety
Ajanta and Ellora caves are beyond imagination! The organiser of this trip speaks good English and he is very helpful. We had a driver called Habib that was also pleasant to talk with and very careful when driving! This package allows you to freely discover and you will be able to contract tourist guides in most of the historic sites.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the awe-inspiring Ajanta and Ellora caves. It’s great to know that the trip was well-organized, and both our team and Habib made your experience pleasant and safe. We’re glad you appreciated the flexibility of the package and the option to hire guides on-site. We hope to assist you with more adventures in the future! 😊

Great day out visiting both caves - both interesting for different reasons
Excellent means to see both caves in a day. Mr Suleman was a knowledgeable and friendly driver, who pointed out local sites in a comfortable car. Local cave guides offered good context and history of the places. Communication all easy via WhatsApp. Ajanta is a spectacular location with rich paintings (although bring a torch!). Whereas Ellora has more impressive sculptures and variety of caves. Both are excellent but if had to choose one, Ellora would be our pick. Would recommend visiting caves with a guide or reference book. Both caves are touristy, so do expect to be approached by local merchants.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed review! 😊 We're thrilled you had a great experience exploring Ajanta and Ellora. We're glad Mr. Suleman made your journey comfortable and insightful. Your tips about guides, torches, and local merchants are spot on and helpful for future travelers. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Day Mumbai to Nashik, Ajanta and Ellora Tour with Car and Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mumbai.
How much does 3-Day Mumbai to Nashik, Ajanta and Ellora Tour with Car and Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mumbai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Day Mumbai to Nashik, Ajanta and Ellora Tour with Car and Guide take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mumbai is not rushed.
Is 3-Day Mumbai to Nashik, Ajanta and Ellora Tour with Car and Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mumbai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Mumbai to Nashik, Ajanta and Ellora Tour with Car and Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3-Day Mumbai to Nashik, Ajanta and Ellora Tour with Car and Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Mumbai to Nashik, Ajanta and Ellora Tour with Car and Guide?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mumbai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mumbai and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Mumbai to Nashik, Ajanta and Ellora Tour with Car and Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mumbai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mumbai?
+
On Outty we rank every Mumbai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Elephanta Caves & Island Guided Private Tour, Dharavi Slum Tour, Mumbai: Dharavi Slum & Dhobi Ghat Laundry Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mumbai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mumbai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
