10/10 Hyderabad Tour - Kumar was excellent! He was so knowledgeable about India and Hyderabad and created a memorable and information inspiring tour! He also seemed to have personal knowledge of vendors and famous spots that created a unique experience. Munner drove so well, and I felt safe the entire time. As a solo female traveler this is not a universal experience but I would recommend Kumar to any one that wanted to get to know Hyderabad!

Great tour - The trip was exactly as advertised. Our guide (Srinu) knew a lot of history as he was an actual history phd student/candidate). The trip began exactly in time and we went through the placed as mentioned in the trip discussion. We ended a bit early which was good for us. All in all, this was a solid choice for a tour. It was well organized and the car was big and had plenty of water (big plus points for a group tour anywhere India). I would strongly recommend this tour for any tourists (Indian or western) coming to Hyderabad.

Great day in Hyderabad - Kumar Vaspari is an extremely friendly guide who showed me various highlights of Hyderabad with great knowledge. The visit to Nimrah Café & Bakery was also well worth it. I can definitely recommend Kumar as a tour guide.

Great Education of Hyderabad - Had a fantastic day touring with Srinu. He was very knowledgeable and adapted the tour to what was of interest. His knowledge of the history of the Deccan plateau and the empires over time was excellent t and he conveyed at a level that was understandable. A highlight of the tour was tea at Nimrah Cafe near Charminar. The Irani tea and cookies were amazing. Highly recommend this tour for a great education of Hyderabad.

Professional, courteous and great experience - Mr Ramdos is a great guide to be your partner to explore Hyderabad and bring alive the history, connection and make it alive. Mujeeb, our driver, was patient, drove well and maintained a clean vehicle. The tour was thought through and well paced, no overselling, no coaxing to visit any particular shop to buy. We enjoyed Irani chai, Osmania biscuits and bun maska at Nimrah bakery near Charminar. A day well spent. Thanks much to Mr Ramdos and Mujeeb. Highly recommended to explore Hyderabad with all the stories of different dynasties.

Perfect 8 hours of Hyderabad Exploration - It was just the right balance of walking and drive-through experience of the city. When added with a brilliant guide as Mr Srinu, who patiently answered our questions and ensured that he gives contextual history recap before sharing the specific details of the place. Very knowledgeable and humble guide with very respectful attitude. The drive was also very well planned and managed, allowing us to cover a lot without getting tired.

1-Day Hyderabad Drive Tour - Kumar was our tour guide, although he did not speak Spanish we could communicate perfectly in English. He took us to know the Golconda Fort, Charminar, Chowmajal, bazaars, souvenir shops, temples, mahala chai shops, among several other places. Kumar was an excellent guide who explained in detail the history of each place, shared its culture and made us feel welcomed in Hyderabad city. I highly recommend it for those who are preparing to know the city of pearls.
