Review of Mumbai’s Elephanta Caves tour, with ferry tips, Shiva sculptures, guide details, costs, lunch, and honest advice on value.

“This was an amazing day of wonder! These caves are truly spectacular and our guide was so informative and thorough that I learnt a lot about the Hindu religion that I didn't know before and the stories were great! There is great little market stores lining the steps on the way in and out that are hard to go past without bagging a bargain Unfortunately I had problems when my computer uploaded my photos from iCloud and lost them! But the memories will always be there!”
