We were picked up by Naga and our driver. Naga was so informative and had a vast knowledge of the history of Hyderabad. He was a lovely and warm man. I could not recommend the tour enough.
I enjoyed the tour very much and highly recommend for anyone traveling to Hyderabad. I was promptly picked up directly from my hotel. Personal driver and tour guide Harsha Varhan was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating!
Srinu was a wonderful tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable. He also spoke very good English.
