For anyone who wants to tour Hyderabad and truly understand its history and culture, Navin's tours are a must !!! Had it not been for his tours, our trip to Hyderabad would have been a soulless journey. I had been to Hyderabad on an official visit and had a few spare days so took my elderly parents along so that they could tour the city. On the first day we all took the old city Charminar tour with Navin. His passion in sharing the history and culture of this city is so remarkable that it makes the entire tour so fascinating. So much so, that the next day when my parents went for the Golconda tour with him, I felt I was missing an important eye view of the city's history. But what makes it even more awesome is the sincerity with which he treats us. You feel like your spending time with a family member. And that left me at peace and anxious free even when my parents were touring in my absence. Infact he was so kind to offer a pickup and hotel transfer for my parents in my absence as I wasn't aware of any reliable transport service. And this was over and above the transport service for the tour. He also recommend many must try Hyderabadi dishes and suggested the places where we could get the same. Thankyou so much Navin for such a memorable experience!!!

The Golconda fort has a chequered history from the 12th century to the 19th century. The history is rich with intricate power struggles interspersed with architectural commissions of the Kakatiya [Hindu] Bahmani, Qutub shahi and later the Nizams. It was fascinating to note architectural similarities with modern day Iran’s architecture with the stunning view from the top of the fort reminding me of the ancient ruins of Rome! The tombs of the Qutub shahi kings are worth a visit as the architecture is grand and is a mix of Persian and local influences.I was pleasantly surprised to find two tombs of the physicians of the time [Geelani] and a couple of tombs of the dancing girls of the time amongst the tombs of kings and queens! I skipped the palaces and rushed through the Salar Jung museum as I was short on time. John [the guide] was excellent .His knowledge of the complex history of the region and his ability to relate it to the monuments was par excellence. Despite 27 years as a guide, he still remains passionate in his job. He was punctual, respectful and mindful of the fact that I would need frequent water breaks in the 40degree C heat . For a day, John transported me back in time to marvel at the spirit and endeavours of eight centuries of rulers in the Deccan [anglicised name for Dakshin-south]. Please carry your water as there are no water arrangements at the top of the fort. The fort is being repaired in sections and could do with more signages and tourist information plates.

Beautiful old edifices built in the medieval, Mughal, Colonial and Indo-Saracenic styles abound, rubbing shoulders with large glass and chrome temples of commerce.

6. Hidden Hyderabad Walk

Hyderabad, Hyderabad, Hyderabad District, Telangana Detours India Day Tours

There is a hidden heritage of every city and this is very true in the case of Hyderabad where modern buildings and structures have super-imposed themselves on the architectural past of the city. But a walk in some of the bye-lanes of the Old City will reveal a slice of the magnificent past that was Hyderabad. This walk will take you to some of the old deoris (or havelis) that were home to the noblemen of the past. Some of them have been converted to public buildings and some are holding on tenaciously to the spirit of the old Hyderabad that was. If you are a lover of things of the past and want to discover glimpses of the glorious architecture of the past, spend a few hours with us exploring the hidden Hyderabad.

Inclusions: Gratuities, GST (Goods and Services Tax), Tour escort/host

Exclusions: Food and drinks
