Amazing Historical tour of Hyderabad Old City

I took the full day guided door for Hyderabad. My tour guide Mr Matta S Reddy was a very knowledagble and tenured guide as it related to Hyderabad's extensive history from the 1400s to the Modern day. The tour included all the key sights including Golconda Fort, Char Minar, Chowmahalla Palace, Qutb Shah tombs and stops to eat fabulous Biriyani dish and some Irani Chai near Char Minar, concluding with a visit to Hussain Sagar Lake and a view of the great buddha statue. Mr Reddy and our driver were able to navigate Hyderabad's traffic and ensure a punctual schedule with pick and drop to my hotel in the Financial District. As someone with ancestral roots in Hyderabad I came up with so much additional insight into the culture and history that I truly felt humbled. Highly recommend the Hyderabad tour guide and Mr Reddy, thank you for an amazing day!

What a great day! First...

What a great day! First and foremost the guide, Harsha Vardhan, was incredible and made what could have been a normal tour an extraordinary one. Knowledgeable and service oriented, he not only took us through the sites but tailored the explanations and points of interest to the group. He took the time to get to know us and understand us in order to create a magical and bespoke experience. He took care of everything and was so focused on also making sure we felt safe the entire time. You can tell he loves his work. Also big shout out to our driver, unfortunately I didn’t get his name. These 2 gentlemen defined the experience. There are many other tours and they mostly all go the same places but glad we went with this one.

The overall experience...

The overall experience was good. I got to visit so many places in one day. It was full of culture and history. It was a private tour just the driver, the tour guide, me and my partner. The car was very clean with air conditioning. The tour guide Karunanidhi was professional and knowledgeable. The part I didn’t like were the shopping and tipping. We paid for everything for the tour guide, including the coffee, lunch, tea, etc, and in the end he asked us to leave tips to the restaurant. I don’t like being forced to pay for tips especially we had already paid for his lunch and for this tour. I didn’t tip much and they didn’t seem to be happy, the dynamic became really awkward after lunch. I also felt pressure at the shops that they very pushy to get you buy sth then you can leave. Also, we had to pay for the entrance fees for every single tourist spot we visited. We also didn’t get to see the museum and do the boat rides which were saying included in the price that we paid for.

Wonderful day in Hyderabad

Wonderful day in Hyderabad with our guide Kumar Vaspari. He took as much time as we required to explain everything, was very knowledgeable, and could answer all our questions. We covered all the best sites in the city, and was flexible enough to change the plan if we wanted. All in all a great day, and would recommend Kumar to anyone.

Experience was very good. We saw all we could in the time and our guide Kumar was excellent.

The fort was impressive, as were all the sites we visited in a busy re hours - only drawback being the time available to fit everything in hence we didn’t do everything. As such I think it’s a bit overpriced

Top City Tour in Hyderabad 👌🏼

The tour covered all the main attractions and it includes hotel pick up and drop off, in addition to an authentic delicious Hyderabad lunch. The highlight of the tour was the amazing tour guide: Komar Vaspari, he was very well informed and cultured about the history of Hyderabad and its attractions / monuments etc. he was happy to custom tailor the tour to your requirements. I highly recommend this tour if it’s your first time in Hyderabad! 👌🏼
