“Guides on both days was good. Long day to Ajanta, the Ellora cave day was more enjoyable though. And yes, small street sellers, especially around Ajanta can be annoying. If you don't want to buy, never engage and never go into their shops. Otherwise, good trip.”

“It’s not worth the price. You would rather hire a car yourself and get your guides at the tourists spots as that’s exactly what this operator does. Don’t expect a guide full time from the tour operator and they only arrange a guide for 1-2 hours. They also transport you in filthy cars so a hotel hire would be better.”
