5.00I had such a lovely day with my tour guide Kumar. He was very knowledgeable and explained all the sights, but he was also just a great guy to hang out with for the day! Great chats and I felt very safe as a woman alone. Would highly recommend!

5.00India in a single day is overwhelming—in the best way. From the moment we stepped out, the energy was nonstop: honking streets, vibrant colors, layered history, and warm smiles everywhere. We moved quickly but meaningfully, from ancient landmarks to everyday local scenes that revealed how tradition and modern life coexist. The food was bold and unforgettable, each bite telling its own story. What stood out most was the contrast—chaos and order, poverty and innovation, spirituality and ambition—all side by side. This day didn’t just show me India; it challenged my perspective and reminded me to stay curious, open-minded, and always keep my eyes wide open..

5.00Mr Srinu gave us a broad overview of Hyderabad’s history before taking us to Golconda Fort, Qutub Shahi Tombs, and Charminar. We learned a lot about Hyderabad’s autonomy before and during colonial rule and what makes it distinct from the rest of India. Highly recommended.
Beautiful Hyderabad

5.00Beautiful experience exploring the beautiful city of Hyderabad. I enjoyed visiting the Golconda fort which is known for its diamond trade in the 12th century among other places like the Qutub Shahi Tombs, Charminar and the Load bazaar. Had an opportunity to enjoy the famous Iranian chai and the Omani’s biscuits which are a must have in Hyderabad. My guide Mr. Srinu was so knowledgeable and so accommodating. He understands guiding to the tee. He is so professional with a beautiful demeanor. My experience was a 10/10 thanks to the organizers, the guide and the driver. 100% recommend 👌
Wonderful experience

5.00Srinu was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the tour. He knows Hyderabad and India's history and culture very well, and even helped me translate a difficult situation I had with my hotel. I would book with Srinu again if I'm going on a tour in Hyderabad.
