  • 5 star ratingThe city comes alive Navin is a thoroughly modern man with a passion for history, discovery and all things Hyderabadi. The walking tour is a delight and the evening food tour is even better. If you’d like to get a little closer to real, street-level India, wander with Navin through some of the hidden backstreets or culinary gems of this historic city. Great fun and a wonderful companion and guide.

  • 5 star ratingCity of Pearls Walking Tour Experience While in Hyderabad on a business trip I had a Sunday free and decided to book the City of Pearls walking tour. I chose to include the transportation to and from the hotel and highly recommend this option. My guide joined myself and the driver in the car and received extra tidbits of historical information as we drove to the drop off. The driver and my guide Mohan were extremely professional. Mohan is very knowledgeable and I felt safe and supported with him during the tour. The site seeing was excellent and it was cool to experience the raw Hyderabad. Recommend anyone with time to book this tour and enjoy the 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 ratingNavin's knowledge makes this tour uniquely valuable! Navin is full of the kind of deep knowledge of history and the locale that immeasurably enriches the already incomparable experience of exploring the Old City, and he delivers it in an engaging way. Importantly, he's very easy to understand even in a crowded marketplace.
    My friend and I had an extra day after a business meeting so we decided to see the old city in the morning before it got too hot. That was a good plan: I expect I will long remember sitting on a wall in the shade of a venerable banyan tree in the courtyard of the Chowmahala Palace with tired feet and an exquisite breeze!
