Great day in Hyderabad - A wonderful day seeing the Golconda fort, Qutub tombs, a drive through the Ziaguda Mutton Market and over the Puranapul bridge to the Laad bazaar to see the Charminar and have some cookies and tea at Nimrah cafe & bakery, then a walk over to the Chowmahalla Palace ending with stops to see craft and pearl vendors. A hot and full day was totally worth it. Thanks to Srinu for being a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. And excellent driving by Munir.

Most Memorable Experience in Hyderabad! - This tour was EXCELLENT! My tour guide Mr. Anand was extremely knowledgeable and I left the day learning so much, giving me an even greater appreciation of Hyderabad's culture, history, and amazing sights. We got to see and experience so much and Mr. Anand made me feel safe and looked after, especially in the busier areas near Charminar (he also made me feel so welcomed to his city, bringing me an India flag sticker to wear in honor of Republic Day). Mr. Shashi was also a rockstar driver, navigating us safely around town! Needless to say, I am very appreciative of the tour and the professionalism and kindness both Mr. Anand and Mr. Shashi shared with me. I was nervous being a solo female American traveler in India but Mr. Anand made sure I felt safe all throughout our journey! Thank you both again for such a warm welcome to your city! And yes, the Irani biscuits and chai are every bit as delicious as everyone says!

Fun day trip in Hyderabad - Fun experience, my tour guide Srinu was very knowledgeable, extensive experience well demonstrated, also very flexible to preferences. Besides the amazing historical sites, my favorite part was his personal connection at the Nimrah Cafe and Bakery. Great time for a day trip.

Dive Deep into Hyderabad History with a deeply knowledgable Local Guide! - Mr Kumar Vaspari is a well informed and interesting guide; showing us the best sites in Hyderabad as well as taking the time and patience to allow us a little shopping in the many delightful stalls selling bangles etc. He is most knowledgable regarding the history of the Palaces, Mosques, Museums and Forts we visited; pointing out the more interesting details of which there are many. Excellent in every way!

This was probably the... - This was probably the best city tour I've ever had. My guide Syed Hashimi was a local of Hyderabad and it clearly showed. He answered all of my questions in great detail, and he feels a deep connection with the city that he shared with me. A highlight of the day was meeting the owner of Nimrah cafe, who is good friends with Syed. I highly recommend this tour and booking with Syed if possible.

The best guide in Hyderabad! - Kumar Vaspari was an excellent and courteous host - we were so warmly greeted when we first met. From there he took us along with our wonderful driver, Rafeeq Younus, to many interesting sites around Hyderabad. His knowledge of history is huge and his ability to impart this vast knowledge was both clear and informative. Kumar’s enthusiasm for his subject is completely infectious…. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him - we shared many stories and jokes - he also had the best smile in the world!

Excellent Private Tour of Hyderabad! - This private tour was a fantastic way to explore Hyderabad! The guide, Mohan, was knowledgeable, and friendly. From historic landmarks to vibrant local spots, every stop was insightful and well-planned. The convenience of a private tour made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the city!
