Reviews
Sameer did his best to accomodate our request.
Be ready for a very heart-racing boat journey to the island. The boat swings a lot (but that’s the local - and only - to get there and we did fine with our baby in arms).
The walk to get to the cave is physically demanding but doable.
The cave itself is probably the most interesting attraction in Mumbai, being likely the oldest structure you will find around and the one that reflects the local culture rather then the colonisation imprints.
Finally, Mumbai is - expectedly- a chaotic city and more likely a business rather than a touristic place. Nevertheless, if you happen to have some spare time here, this tour is a good option (and the team behind it really try their best to make your time enjoyable).
