5.00This was such an interesting and engaging tour. Ask for Mr Matta! He is so knowledgeable and was a great guide and host. I learned so much, I left wanting to buy a history book on India! As a single female, I felt safe the entire day and trusted Mr Matta and our terrific driver would get me back safely, which they did. Highly recommend for single travelers or groups. Pick up and drop off were easy and I learned so much. Thank you, Mr Matta!

5.00Our guide did a great job showing g us around d Hyderabad. He was on time, had a great driver, and had deep knowledge of history. We could’ve have toured around the city without him, and wouldn’t have found out so much about the area and culture.

5.00If you want to get the most out of Hyderabad in a day (~7 - 8 hours), I recommend this tour. Good resturant, good stories, informed guide. You will feel cared for, Matta, the guide, will follow your pace, you decide the stops. One payment and no other hidden costs, good advices at purchasing small gifts. By the end of the tour, you'll come away with a better understanding of Hyderabad.
An enjoyable and interesting tour.
