Golconda fort was worth it, but others are not very enjoyable. This app makes you say a little more. Sometimes it is best to keep it little.
Great itinerary with an exceptional guide Naga. Driver and guide very punctual. Well packaged day tour.
It was our first time in India. Naga was on time and a very knowledgeable guide. There were 4 of us and they provided a 6-seater private car. We certainly enjoyed the full day tour with him! We manage to visit Mecca Masjid, Quth Shahi tombs, Golconda Fort, Chowmahalla palace and Birla Mandir temple in a day. He was able to answer all our questions regarding Hyderabad. We booked through Viator and got the confirmation email the next day. I would definitely recommend getting a guide to hit all the attractions because the city is hard to get around without a car. Having a private guide makes it a lot easier.
These are a qualified tour operators and their service is very good. You can just give your requirements and thwy will work out in detail
This was an excellent tour. Very informative, attention to detail and the guide was excellent. Naga was the tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and provided relevant facts along the entire tour. This tour provides a great overview of the entire Hyderabad if you have a short amount of time in the city.
Naga from Gabay Path Finder Excursions is a great tour guide and made each location come alive with his knowledge of their history.
