Great tour guide

I booked this tour as female solo traveller on a business trip, as I wanted to explore Hyderabad a bit, but did not feel comfortable to do so on my own. Mr Srinu is an amazing tour guide, extremely knowledgeable, polite and friendly. He also offered hotel pickup (for a fee), which I much appreciated. It is my first trip to India, so everything was a bit overwhelming - lots of people, noise, traffic - but I felt safe and had a great afternoon. Highly recommended!

Fascinating tour of the old Hyderabad

Srinu was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of his city. I learnt so much about the Persian influence on Hyderabad over the past several centuries and how it reflects in the architecture of the city - Fascinating Srinu answered all my questions clearly. At the end of the tour he took us to his friends very busy cafe near Charminar where we got VIP service and tour of the kitchens. This cafe serves 14000 cups of tea per day. You have to see it to believe it. The cafe name is Nimrah cafe & bakery and the gracious host is Mr Aslam. Recommend you visit the cafe if you are near Charminar

Great tour with knowledgeable guide

Thanks for great explanation of all places. The guide is knowledgeable of the area. My recommendation to organiser is to provide timings in description of the event. To people who are booking this activity just know that Sunday evenings are busy, suggest to book morning times or weekdays for more peaceful experience.

Fascinating history of Hyderabad - Great tour

The guide was very knowledgeable and despite a short duration of 2.5 hr, unexpectedly we learnt so much about the rich and peculiar history of hyderabad and South India, which was fascinating. He was very accommodating, thorough and hamble, excellent company and teacher to walk through the old city. We truly enjoyed the tour and would love to come back again for another tour. Highly recommended.
