  • 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

  • It all started off with me casually mentioning to Navin that I would like to try out the Dosa's at Govind's. Off went Navin and in a span of minutes put together an entire plan for the walk and got a group of friends together. It was interesting to try out the various tea and bakery items at Nimras and then walk along the various by-lanes and get our dose of history and myths busted. Post that, we ended up at the famous (and original) Govind's.

    All in all, a great Saturday morning spent with lots of history, minimal exercise and loads of buttery idli, dosa, and vada.

    If you are interested in a fun walk, check out "The Hyderabad Walking Company". You will have fun, add to your store of knowledge and ensure a full tummy.

  • 5 star ratingExcellent! I very much enjoyed the tour in the old city of Hyderabad and learn about the history of the city, the laad bazaar and the Nizam rulers. The tour guide John was really great and guided me well through the streets and the bazaar. I very much liked climbing up the Chaminar and have chai tea and cookies at the local bakery. I had an excellent time during the tour.

  • 1 star ratingNot worth the time or money Here are the reasons I cannot recommend this tour:

    I booked the tour several weeks in advance, but it was not until I was in the car with the tour guide that I was told that the Chowmahalla Palace and Mecca Masjid were closed on Fridays. Maybe the tour should not be offered on Fridays, or maybe they should notify you before you book a tour on a Friday that these two major attractions will not be included.

    From the first few minutes I was in the car with John, the guide, he was relentlessly selling me on going to a pearl jewelry store after the tour to get the best quality and deals. Despite repeatedly telling him I was not interested buying pearls, he continued to propose that we go to buy pearls after tour.

    I received a confirmation email for the tour that recommended having a hearty breakfast for the walking tour. However, our very first stop was a café where we were coerced into eating a variety of local cookies and drinking chai tea.

    For a walking tour, we spent a lot of time in cars—from the hotel to the walking tour area, from the walking tour area to the British Residency (the very disappointing replacement for the palace that was not worth the time or effort it took to get there) from the British Residency to the souvenir store, from the souvenir store back to the hotel. Not much walking; a lot of riding.

    In case you’re wondering, I did not let John take me to buy pearls—after the very aggressive salespeople in the souvenir store, I was done and insisted that John take me back to the hotel.

    For five hours and $120, I do not feel like I got to see very much of Hyderabad, and I did not have a very pleasant experience.
