Private Full Day Tour of Hyderabad City - Srinu is one of the best tour guides I have met. He is well spoken and very professional. Srinu's great depth of knowledge in India history and culture is remarkable. Most importantly, we had a wonderful Incredible India experience particularly in the local teahouse which we would never have experienced as tourists. Amazing overall and definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting the city.

Fun but warning! - Great tour. The one warning I would give is you will end up going to two high pressure sales shops. Compare it to a high pressure time share sale. Had that not been part of the trip I would give it 5 stars.
