Here are some tips for choosing the perfect Shirdi tour package from Mumbai:
Look at the itinerary and see if it covers all the major sights and temples you want to visit in Shirdi. The package should include visits to the Shri Sai Baba Samadhi Mandir, Dwarkamai mosque, Chavadi, and other important shrines.
Check the duration of the tour. Shirdi can be covered in a day trip but a 1 night/2 day package allows more time to explore the various temples calmly.
See what’s included and excluded in the package price. Most packages should include transportation, accommodation if overnight, breakfast/meals, guide fees and entrance tickets. Check if anything major is excluded.
Look at the type of vehicle provided. Comfortable AC sedans or Tempo Travellers are better than cramped mini-buses for the 3-4 hour (one way) journey.
Choose a reputed tour operator known for good service and experience in arranging Shirdi tours. Read reviews and feedback online.
Compare prices between packages and see what value-adds are being offered in more expensive packages. Some provide hotel upgrades, additional meals etc.
Check if hotel accommodation provided is close to the temple area. Staying near the main Sai Baba temple is more convenient.
For overnight tours, prefer packages that provide stays in good hotels like Hotel Sai Leo, Hotel Supreme, etc rather than dormitory type ashrams.
See if small group tour or private tour options are available to avoid crowded trips.
Enquire about the guide service and languages offered for the tour. English speaking guides are ideal.
Look for Shirdi Holiday Packages that offer early morning darshan at Sai Baba temple to beat the crowds.
