Great tour and excellent guide! - We had a great tour of the attractions, with tour guide John explaining to us the history and highlights of the sites. We had enough time for the tour and a little bit of shopping as well, so the pacing was manageable. Tour guide John and driver Hari are the best team, making sure we were comfortable, safe, and having a lovely and worthwhile trip. This is definitely highly recommended!

An AMAZING DAY in Hyderabad! - I had a business trip in Hyderabad, and booked this tour for me and my mom to see a couple of the oldest heritage sites of the city. I initially booked the tour in the morning, but Mr. John (tour guide) helped to arrange it later in the afternoon to accommodate our schedule. Mr. John and Mr. Hari (driver) picked us up at the hotel on time. We then went to see the Golconda Fort and Qutb Shahi Tombs which are 500+ years old sites. Mr. John explained to us each of the places, which made us appreciate and learn more about the history of Hyderabad. We requested to stop by at some local shops to buy bangles, pearls, and ref magnets towards the end of the tour. One of the staff at the local shop was even kind enough to let us try some Irani Chai Tea which was very good. After which, we were dropped off back to hotel. Overall, this was an AMAZING DAY in Hyderabad thanks to Mr. John who is an excellent tour guide and Mr. Hari who is a very safe driver. We surely enjoyed and recommend this tour. Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful experience and memory of Hyderabad!

Great experience! - We were only in Bubaneswar for a day, so we didn't have a lot of time to see the city, and this was a very good way to spend that day. Our guide, Sanjay, was very kind and knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. Definitely would recommend this tour if you have the time!

Illuminating educational tour - I was picked up promptly at Marriott Hotel and my guide John Wilson Kola brought me in a private car to Fort Golkonda, the royal residence of the Hindu kings in the 12th century, followed by 3 generations of Moslem kings until the 17th century, after which Hindu tribes retook the area in the old city section of Hyderabad. I made it to the top - 360 steps! - and viewed the armory, water wells, dance halls, judgement halls, mosques and minarets, all equipped with ancient sound architecture systems to facilitate conmunication across the kingdom. All the while, John regaled me with his encyclopedic knowledge of this venerated historical site as well as the Qutub Shahi tombs nearby and everything in between. Thank you for such an illuminating tour!

Rich historical Tour of Hyderabad's Past with Beautiful Views - Had a fantastic tour of the Golconda Fort and Qutub Shahi Tombs with 5 Senses and their excellent guide Srinu. The tour was well paced and full of the rich history of the sites and hidden gems as well as beautiful tranquil views. Our driver Saif was excellent as well and provided comfortable, speedy, and safe transportation. This is my second tour with 5 Senses and I highly recommend this tour and their services.
