  • 5 star ratingEnriching, interesting ,informative and friendly tour For anyone who wants to tour Hyderabad and truly understand its history and culture, Navin's tours are a must !!! Had it not been for his tours, our trip to Hyderabad would have been a soulless journey. I had been to Hyderabad on an official visit and had a few spare days so took my elderly parents along so that they could tour the city. On the first day we all took the old city Charminar tour with Navin. His passion in sharing the history and culture of this city is so remarkable that it makes the entire tour so fascinating. So much so, that the next day when my parents went for the Golconda tour with him, I felt I was missing an important eye view of the city's history. But what makes it even more awesome is the sincerity with which he treats us. You feel like your spending time with a family member. And that left me at peace and anxious free even when my parents were touring in my absence. Infact he was so kind to offer a pickup and hotel transfer for my parents in my absence as I wasn't aware of any reliable transport service. And this was over and above the transport service for the tour. He also recommend many must try Hyderabadi dishes and suggested the places where we could get the same. Thankyou so much Navin for such a memorable experience!!!

  • 5 star ratingBest walking tour I've ever been on! After being picked up from the hotel, we drove downtown to Hyderabad and started at the Charminar. Climbing the wicked tiny steps is totally worth the view from the top and then the descend makes the next stop for chai and biscuits a well deserved treat. Following the chai, we strolled down the streets looking at the old shops and then we made our way to Chowmahalla Palace. A beautiful complex with many years as a "working palace", you can get a sense of the grandeur this site once had (and is being restored back to). After viewing all the amazing automobiles in their collection, we made our way back to the shopping. We had an opportunity to see how bangles are made, plus try some on and purchase some to take home. Navin is an amazing partner to take you on this adventure. He has a true love of the area and is excited to share his knowledge and stories. This was truly the highlight of my trip and I would HIGHLY recommend that you make an appointment with the Hyderabad Walking Tour when visiting this great city.

  • 5 star ratingAuthenticity! Navin was great - it was so great to have someone lead us through the City. He is so knowledgable and is able to distinguish fact from fiction! Connected us to local craftsman for some shopping and there were no commissions in the process! Passionate about the work he does and make the tour fun, educational and flexible! More

  • 5 star ratingA great outing with a fantastic guide Madhu was a fantastic guide, really knowledgeable and passionate about the city, its monuments and its history. We had great conversations and I learned a lot. He did not try and take me to places where I did not want to buy anything, which I really appreciate.
