An education-filled cultural experiences! - Today we went on a very educational tour that was filled with new experiences! From the great history lesson from Srinu, the amazing teas and treats from the markets to the amazing driving from Saif, we had a full day of adventure and cultural experiences!! I would highly recommend to anyone to take the tour. I also suggest booking the tour in the morning during monsoon season.

Perfect day trip of Hyderabad - If there is one word for the tour - it's perfect! Well planned, very knowledgeable guide, good story telling, answered curious questions patiently, shared very interesting insights, safe driver/car, easy coordination, very timely, and most importantly - will take care of small details to make the experience perfect. Best was the chance (sheer luck) to see the process of irani chai and cookies

I learned a lot of history on a terrific old city tour! - I had a fantastic tour provided by Azam! He was very knowledgeable and took great pride in his city which I appreciated. I enjoyed the time we took around Char Kamams! We took a little ride in a tuk-tuk, explored the streets and markets and saw Mecca Masjid too. I very much enjoyed Paigah Tombs as well. Getting some biscuits and tea and talking to the owner of Nimrah was a highlight. Azam’s friendly nature has resulted in him having contacts throughout the city and helps make the tour even more rich with experiences. I highly recommend!

A Diamond in the Rough - From the moment our tour guide, Srinu, met my husband and I at the designated pickup point, he made us feel welcomed and at ease. It also became evident that Srinu, was extremely knowledgeable about the entire history, as well as, current events, of Hyderabad and made it interesting. He was very patient, happy to answer any of our questions, and.even offered to take our picture several times.

Tombs, Tea, Market and History - This is a great option if you only have a few hours and want to learn about local history and culture. We saw the tombs, had chai tea, walked through a very busy market and learned about the history of this wonderful city.

Very knowledgeable guide, but hard sell in the stores was uncomfortable - I enjoyed the tour, especially the Paigah Tombs which were beautiful, and the chai cafe. We didn’t go to Chowmahalla Palace, or enter Charminar, or go to Mecca Masjid. At the end of the tour we visited a rug store and a pearl store and I felt very uncomfortable with the hard sell tactics and felt pressured to buy some things.
