A first class guide to incredible sites in Hyderabad - We had two half day tours, one in Hyderabad old town, one in Golconda /Qutb Shahi. In addition, Shrinu and the driver took us to Banjara Hills and to see the new government administration building, the huge statue and monument to the new state. He is passionate about his city and his knowledge of its history is encyclopaedic! He gave us vital background to the monuments we visited, so we had a sense of how they fitted into the history of the subcontinent as a whole - and links to Persia and Turkey we knew nothing about. I really couldn’t imagine a better guide. We also appreciated his allowing us a glimpse into his own life: his archaeological studies, his hopes for the future and his daughter’s education. Last but not least, thank you for the samosas from Char Minar market!
