  • 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.

  • 5 star ratingABSOLUTR MUST in Hyderabad Had such a great time with Navin on the city of pearls tour.

    He was personable but also so passionate about history, and could answer all of my questions extensively.

    The tour was well paced and covered all the essentials of the old city on great depth.

    Would definitely recommend a HWC tour to anyone considering it.

  • 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!

  • 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.
