We were picked up by Naga and our driver. Naga was so informative and had a vast knowledge of the history of Hyderabad. He was a lovely and warm man. I could not recommend the tour enough.
I enjoyed the tour very much and highly recommend for anyone traveling to Hyderabad. I was promptly picked up directly from my hotel. Personal driver and tour guide Harsha Varhan was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating!

The tour was excellent, the pick up on time, the service in the car was really good. The tour guy has a lot of experience and knowledge, we are really happy about it. The only "bad" thing is that the tour supossed to last for 6 hours but it was less than that, in my opinión this tour is good with just 3 hours but it should be mentioned in the description, otherwise seems as an deception
