Personalised Hyderabad tour with an excellent guide and great textile shopping - I had already seen many of the main sights in Hyderabad, so this tour was completely personalised to what I was interested in. My guide, Kumar Vaspari, was extremely knowledgeable and very flexible in adapting the itinerary to my wishes. What made the experience special were his explanations and the conversations we had along the way. I particularly enjoyed visiting Birla Temple and the Nizam Museum, which I found much more interesting thanks to Kumar’s insights and historical context. One highlight was a stop at Kalanjali Arts & Crafts, which I would highly recommend. I bought several Kalamkari fabrics there at very friendly prices, and it’s also an excellent place to buy a sari. The store was clean and orderly, with fixed prices and very friendly, non-pushy staff. Overall a wonderful and very well-tailored experience. Highly recommended.

Hyderbad is rich in history.. - Our tour guide Kumar was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of regional history with us as we toured Charminar and surrounding areas. After walking through the old city, we continued inside the Chowmahalla Palace to get a glimpse of the magnificently restored buildings and gardens. We left with a new appreciation for Hyderabad and its prominent place in Indian history. Many thanks to Kumar for his expert guidance. Highly recommend this heritage tour!

An amazing tour.as for Anand Sheelam to be your guide. - My wife and I were greeted by Anand Sheehan at our hotel , with the biggest smile and friendliness welcome. We had the best day touring the city with him. He was so informative about every attraction we visited. You could see just how much he loves his job as a tour guide. Full of information. One of the friendliest guides we have ever met. We travel a lot so , for me to say that about him. Is a lot. Love this tour very much, Our driver was so road skilled, as he navigate through the streets. That alone, sitting in the back just enjoying the ride and watching the world go by was very interesting. I highly recommend this tour and , please ask for Anand Sheelam to be your guide. I would rate him a 10/10 , but unfortunately we can only do a 5/5 on the score chart.

See major sites in one day - I was in Hyderabad on business and had a spare day and wanted to see the sites of Hyderabad.
