Colossal stone walls, rusted gates and ruins, reveal secrets of the Golkonda Fort, its grandeur and a bygone era. It was once a city of diamond trade and hence some brilliant gems like the koh-i-Noor and the Darya-i-Noor were excavated from the mines around Golkonda.

Guide was well informed gave a good explanation of the city and took plenty of pictures of me that were appreciated since I was traveling solo
This tour was amazing!! Our guide, Anand, knew everyone, got us in and out of attractions easily, and was beyond knowledgeable about all things Hyderabad. Highly recommend!
Very good tour of Hyderabad and all the wonderful sites of front north of the city to south. Anand was a great guide and let us through Charminar and the places safely.
Omar our guide was very informative and helpful. We really enjoyed the tour and it was very convenient with our private van.
Good tour overall.. the positives: our guide was flexible and allowed us to add stops (the tombs) and remove stops in the old city since we saw them the previous day. He is also provided a great overview of the fort and tombs. The not so good.. he insisted on stopping at local shops for shopping despite us telling him multiple times we did not want to. That wound up wasting time and putting us in a very awkward spot with local store owners.
Srinu was very knowledgeable about hyderabadi history. He also has connections with all vendors and allowed us to get a peek into how the food is actually created. He also does a great job recommending other places in the city to check out!
I spent the day with Srinu Arvapalli, a very professional and nice guide. The tour included historical highlights of Hyderabad, history of the region as well as walking the local markets, drinking exceptional chai, and talking about family and life in general. Had a great time!
Visiting Goconda Fort, Charminar, Birla Mandir and Hussain Sagar were good experience. The guide was good and explained everything in good detail. Excellent trip.
S beautiful historical city with rich seens, buildings, friendly people and nice atmosphere. Our tour guide, Snihu was the best, he was so informative, I have learned a lot from him. Hyderabad City is a must to visit place.
Thank you so much for such a positive and pleasant write. MAM Holidays looking forward to seeing you again!
Great tour. The one warning I would give is you will end up going to two high pressure sales shops. Compare it to a high pressure time share sale. Had that not been part of the trip I would give it 5 stars.
