  • 5 star ratingMemorable Evening - Highlihgt of Our Trip If you're considering a food tour in the area, look no further than Jon Wilson – this was truly an excellent experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and there was no pressure to try anything we weren’t comfortable with. Jon not only shared fascinating history about the city, but also took photos for us, making it a memorable experience. As four white women in a busy, crowded market, we never once felt unsafe – Jon made sure we were always taken care of. He even stayed with us well past our tour time to ensure we were safely in our Uber back to the hotel. Plus, we all enjoyed the food without any GI distress afterward, which is a big win! I can’t recommend Jon and the company enough – 1000% recommend!

  • 5 star ratingFantastic Tour of Hyderabad with a Wonderful Guide I was in Hyderabad on a work trip and had some free time on the weekend to explore the city and decided to book this tour. I was very glad I did - Navin was an exceptional guide and super friendly!

    His knowledge and passion for Hyderabad history is unmatched and I learned so much in such a short period of time. He also provided some wonderful local recommendations and tips. I will recommend this tour to my colleagues who will visit Hyderabad in the future and to anyone who wants to learn more about this city, culture and history! Thank you again, Navin!

  • 5 star ratingEager to please I booked last minute and appreciated that Navin and his team responded quickly and accommodated my schedule. John, my guide, was eager to please. As a solo female traveller, having the hotel pickup and drop-off and guide at my side throughout the trip were important to me to feel relaxed and deal with any hiccups (like the ATM not accepting my card, or random man asking for pictures). My recommendations for other travellers considering the City of Pearls tour is to go for it. If you're going to get a hotel pick-up, consider asking for the guide to come with the driver to pick you up - some drivers don't speak English and havingnthe guide there for the ride gives some extra time to ask questions and hear more about Hyderabad. Navin recommended eating a hearty breakfast before the tour to fuel up for all the walking. I would suggest instead to have whatever you normally have for breakfast, as you should have the opportunity to fuel up on delicious chai and cookies at the start of the tour. I went on a Friday as that was the only day available in my schedule. I suggest booking a different day if you have the flexibility, as some attractions are closed or not accessible on Fridays. The alternative that we did (British Residency) was a good substitute but I suspect the regular itinerary would be the way to go. And my last recommendation is don't be shy to ask John (or your guide) for anything. He's eager to please and can give good recommendations if you want to find a good biryani, try a custard apple, or take care of haggling for prices on your behalf and much more.

  • 5 star ratingAmazing tour with Navin ! Hyderabad walking tour with Navin is a must thing to do when in Hyderabad ! With this immense knowledge in the subject and of the by lanes of the city we as a family of 4 which included by term kids were mesmerised with the tour
    We visited Golconda fort , char minar , choodi bazzar , tombs and understood the history and could appreciate the architectural marvels with help of Navin ! Both my kids were al praises for his walks , the way he conducted them and also his patience ! He exactly knew when to halt , stop , give a breather , not to forgot the umpteen places he took pics with us so that we go back with best memories ! The biscuit chai breaks were lovely !
    He also guided us to good eateries which is a must for any vacation !
    Hyderabad ka taste mazedaar ban gaya with Navin’s interesting walks !
    A must do for any one who comes to Hyderabad !
