Prompt, informative, and perfectly timed

Our half-day tour of the Golconda Fort and Qutb Shahi Tombs was excellent. Hotel pickup was prompt, and our tour guide was highly knowledgeable, sharing a wealth of information throughout the day. He was also incredibly accommodating, offering us great choices and options as we went along. A half-day felt like the perfect amount of time to see everything without feeling rushed. Highly recommended!

Hyd 2 day tour

As a family we went with Srinivas garu on 2 days On Sept 22nd, we went to Golconda and Qutub Shahi tombs. On Sept 23rd, we went to Charminar and Chowmahalla Palace The guide has the following positives 1. He is knowledgeable and if he is not sure then he checks it up with authentic reference books and gives us the right information. Made interesting observations with comparisons from other countries 2. He is polite and courteous 3. He is clear in speech in English. Our family is not very fluent in Telugu 4. He is punctual and he had brought a good SUV with a good driver Mr Prabhakar Overall excellent.

Golconda and Char Minar experience

We found the Golconda experience amazing. The guide's explanations added to our knowledge and enjoyment. The bio diversity and the structure was very impressive. Next we visited Qutub Shahi tombs and all the intricacies were explained in detail to us which added to our experience. The next day, we visited Char Minar and Chowmahalla palace where we learned about the history of Nizams and enjoyed the ambience of the palace and the gardens. There was a most beautiful tree in the back garden. One the way, we shopped in a fifth generation attar shop and got presented by a set of laquer bangles by my relative. All in all, a great experience.

Touring Hydrabad with our guide, Srinu

Srinu was the perfect guide! He has a degree in archaeology and is working on his PhD so he has a vast knowledge of India and especially Hydrabad. He was able to customize the level of detail to exactly what we were looking for.
