5Outstanding, informative - A visit not to be missed.
From booking this tour last minute, to dropping me back at the airport safely, the staff of Mr. Kaif and driver Mr. Tausif, could not have done more. Friendly and always ensuring my enjoyment, I cannot recommend this tour enough. Don't try to do it on your own... tickets, transport and guides were all included and the company was exceptional. All I had to do was sit back and enjoy. Thank you for an exceptional tour!!! 🙏🏻
5Outstanding Service, Flexibility, and Care – Highly Recommend!
We had an incredible experience with Skip-the-Line: All-Inclusive 2-Day Ajanta and Ellora Private Tour, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. What truly set this company apart was their exceptional flexibility and compassion when my son fell sick right before—and even during part of—the trip. They were incredibly understanding, adjusted the schedule without any hassle, and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. Our tour guide, Mr. Seth, was absolutely amazing. His knowledge of Ajanta and Ellora was outstanding, and he explained the history, art, and significance of the caves in a way that was engaging, clear, and fascinating. He was patient, kind, and very attentive to our situation, always checking in to make sure we were doing okay. A special mention also goes to our driver, Mr. Madhav, whose excellent driving skills made the long journeys smooth, safe, and stress-free. He was professional, calm, and clearly very experienced—something we especially valued given the circumstances. Despite the challenges we faced, this tour turned into a truly memorable and positive experience thanks to the team’s professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. If you’re considering an Ajanta and Ellora tour, this company is absolutely the one to choose.
5Ajanta and Ellora Caves are spectacular
This tour was a wonderful, seamless way to visit the astonishing Ajanta and Ellora Caves. Siraj was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide; he really enhanced our understanding of what we were seeing within the caves we visited. He also managed the practicalities of our two-day tour extremely well so that everything, including our pick ups and lunch stops, went very smoothely. Our driver Mahadev was also terrific; a very safe and sensible driver, with a big, welcoming smile. This tour was one of the highlights of our two-week trip to India.
5Excellent staff provided great service for this tour
The tour was well organized for a one day tour covering so much ground. The driver, Mr Kalim was very competent, the car was very comfortable. Mr Kaif provided support service far above and beyond any expectation. I complement him very highly for his attitude and help with many issues.
5An excellent tour to magnificent sights
I had wanted to visit Ellora Caves for many years so I booked a two day tour which also took in Ajanta Caves and Bibi Ka Maqbara. All were spectacular, while guide Deepak and driver Suleman made the experience memorable.
5A wonderful experience.
What a fantastic experience. The marvel of workmanship from more than a thousand years ago is astounding. Mr Inder Sethi was a wonderful guide with a vast expanse of knowledge and a wonderful personality. He and gave us as much time as we wanted and our trip was greatly enhanced because of his company.

About Aurangabad
Aurangabad is a Deccan city in Maharashtra, the base for the rock-cut Ellora and Ajanta caves, a hilltop fortress and a Mughal-era tomb.
Aurangabad, also called Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, took its older name from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, who governed the Deccan from here before taking the throne, and the city is dotted with old gateways. Bibi Ka Maqbara, a domed tomb finished in 1668 and modelled on the Taj Mahal, is its best-known monument. The Panchakki is a seventeenth-century water mill beside a shrine, and the small Buddhist Aurangabad Caves cut into a hillside date from around the seventh century.
