  • 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 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 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!

  • 4 star ratingNice trip It was a very nice trip and a nice guide. The only sad thing was that both Mecca Masjid and Chowmahalla Palace was closed due to a Friday. So I wasn't able to see this.
    But the guide did some other presentations instead. But still this was a little bit sad.
