    Me and wife went to Ellora caves and were lucky to have Mr Bharat Joshi as our Guide. To begin with, he is a very knowledgeable person who really have a very good information about Ellora caves. Ask him anything about it and he will answer all of your questions. But what we liked most about him was his dedication towards customer service. Mr Joshi ensured that we had the best experience in Ellora caves and he did that without any time constraints. He explained us the caves in a very detailed way and covered all the minute details. We were very happy with his this gesture as there are very few guides who show this level of dedication. We almost spent a day with him and me and my wife enjoyed every bit of it. So far we have taken services from 10+ guides in Maharashtra, UP, MP & Rajasthan but I can say Mr Bharat is definitely one of the best. Weather its his knowledge, attitude or behavior he simply deserves 10 out of 10. We will highly recommend once you are in Aurangabad to avail his services and you wont be disappointed.

    My wife and myself visited Aurangabad this week and were hosted by Mr Bharat Joshi as our guide for our 3 day trip which included the Ajanta & Ellora caves as well as other places of interest in and around the city. Bharat is a very intense, learned and professional guide and we were fortunate enough to have come across his profile on Google. He can be a bit voluble but I guess his enthusiasm shows in imparting the history behind each and every attraction. We would recommend his services to any one planning a visit to Aurangabad and its environs.

    I have wanted to visit the Ellora and Ajanta Caves ever since my daughter wrote an essay about them in her art history class. Traveling to India from the United States on a sabbatical, I found Bharat to be the perfect guide. His English is impeccable and his knowledge is unrivaled. I am certain that he knows more than a college professor on these subjects. He knows the history, the language, and all of the stories behind every carving and every painting. Beyond that, he is simply a very professional, well organized guide. Most importantly, I think he is a very good person. You will be safe with him, except your brain might hurt from learning SO much.

    Bharat Joshi was incredibly knowledgeable, insightful, and is just a good human being. Deeply knowledgeable because of his background in history and archeology he will give you all the necessary details you need on Ajanta and Ellora caves as well as Daulatabad Fort and The city of Aurangabad. He grew up in the area, and knows it very well. His collaborative style, and always willing to help demeanor, make him a professional you want to travel with on these long drives to these sites. We would highly recommend him to anyone and also use his expertise and guidance when we are in the area again.

    It has been our dream to visit Ellora and Ajanta. We got Mr Bharat’s contact through a friend. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything in such detail. He made sure we didn’t miss any important details on all places. He’s truly one of the best guides we ever had in any of our trips in India. He also explained current restoration works of the caves, the history, the architecture, the paintings. If any archeological enthusiasts he is the best person to go to. We wish him all the best. Mr Bharat thanks from our bottom of our hearts for such a great two day trip. It will be etched on our memories.

    We travelled to Aurangabad in first week of January, 2022. We had Mr. Bharat Joshi as our Guide for Ellora & Ajantha Caves and for Devgiri fort. I must state here that our trip to these places became more meaningful because of Mr. Joshi. He has exquisite knowledge about Ellora & Ajantha caves. He showed us around both the caves in a very detailed manner & with enthusiasm. He also took us to a different route to Ajantha caves, from where we could see view of entire caves in a glance. He also has a detailed and thorough knowledge of history of Devgiri (Daulatabad) fort. He is very polite, smiling and helpful. If you are travelling to Aurangabad and if you avail services of Mr. Joshi, you would definitely not be disappointed.

    I had an amazing experience exploring Ellora and Ajanta caves in Aurangabad with Bharat Jhoshi as our guide. His in-depth knowledge of the history, architecture, and stories behind these magnificent sites truly brought them to life. Bharat's passion and enthusiasm were evident as he skillfully explained every detail, making the experience engaging and informative.

His expertise and dedication made our trip unforgettable.

    We were sceptical of what to expect during our visit to Ajanta & Ellora. Thanks to the in-depth explanation of the rich heritage of the 2 sites provided by our guide Mr Bharat Joshi, our experience was nothing but exceptional. He has such detailed inputs to provide and has so much patience to go through the details with his customers, which is really commendable. All in all a wonderful enriching experience. Keep it up Mr Joshi!

    Bharat is an amazing guide. We first met him in the Elora caves and immediately decided we wanted to go to Aganta with him as well. One of the best decisions we made. Touring with Bharat is a completely different experience. He brings a deep knowledge of Indian architecture and history to each site. He also carries two flashlights and a digital pointer so he can highlight details in all sorts of paintings and sculptures you would otherwise not even know to pay attention to. If you want to actually understand the rich history and stories behind these sites, touring with Bharat is a must do

    I had an excellent time at Ajanta and Ellora exploring India's glorious past. Mr Bharat Joshi, as my guide certainly enriched my experience, providing me with detailed explanation behind each and every painting and sculpture. The caves are something each and every Indian must witness to truly understand how great our ancient Indian civilization has been. Mr Joshi was very enthusiastic in providing me information whenever I'd have doubts. Having him around helped me understand what the significance and history was behind every sculpture. I would recommend anyone going there to enlist Mr Joshi's services as the amount of knowledge he has about India's past is second to none.

    It's my second experience with Bharat Joshi as a guide. Naturally my first experience had been excellent. A soft spoken, very well knowledged, does his job with genuine interest. Never tries to avoid the locations and details. I strongly recommend everybody to take help of Bharat Joshi as a guide. Without a good guide, Ellora and Ajanta caves are just Sculptures of stones. With Bharat Joshi as a guide The sculptures talk to us.

Mr. Joshi effortlessly navigated us through the Jain, Buddhist, and Hindu caves, providing detailed insights into each sculpture and the historical significance behind them. His sincerity and passion for his work were evident throughout the tour. We wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Bharat Joshi as a tour guide for anyone seeking a comprehensive and enriching experience at Ellora Caves.

    A visit to the Ajanta, Allora and Daulathabad fort turned me into a Time traveller thanks to the wonderful narrative of our guide Mr. Bharat Joshi himself a Master in archeology. His narrative of 200-300 B.C, 6th to 13th century battle techniques, architectural finesse is an experience. I left Aurangabad in awe and full of respect for the artisans of those times. Mr.Bharat I wish you abundance for your passion to your work.

  • 5/5 fierce f. 2 years ago on Google
    We did a trip of Ajanta, Ellora and Daulatabad fort with Mr. Bharat Joshi around Xmas 2021. Having a guide for the tour and that too someone like Bharat Joshi was the best decision we could have made. He brought the entire history of Ajanta. Ellora to life along with the folk lore, it's place in Indian history and the wonderful confluence of Indian philosophies this place is. Daulatabad fort was like a fortnite game for the kids with us, taking through the various strategies and making the marvel in stone real. Bharat is very patient with kids and guided them through all their queries, be it about stones or the long hands of Buddha. If you are going to Aurangabad for visiting this marvels, make sure to reach out to Bharat Joshi - it will be like Discovery of India for you.
