Feeling at home while sightseeing in Hyderabad - Today, I went on the full-day tour of Hyderabad with Kumar Vaspari as our guide and his capable driver, “Safe” (not spelled that way, but it sounded fitting—and he truly lived up to the name).
The trip was exceptionally well-organized, and Kumar demonstrated deep knowledge, expertly guiding us to the best spots, ensuring we captured great photos, and making the day thoroughly enjoyable. It was evident that Kumar is highly regarded within the tour guide community; everywhere we went, we were warmly welcomed with smiles.
One highlight of the day was our visit to Nimrah Cafe and Bakery, where we were greeted like old friends of the house.
Thank you, Kumar, for an unforgettable, full-day experience in Hyderabad!

Brilliant day touring Hyderabad with Kumar - We were in Hyderabad with work, had a last minute free day, and decided to take a private tour to explore.
So glad that we did! Incredible experience with our guide Kumar and driver Saif. They picked us up from the hotel in a luxury SUV, took us around several of the main sights, and Kumar kept us informed and entertained throughout the day. There’s no way we could have seen as much / enjoyed ourselves as much if we’d done it ourselves, and for the price - it’s an absolute no brainer!!
We booked about 5pm the night before we went on the tour (very last minute). But it all happened seemlessly.
Note email address on this page is incorrect - I’ve added photo of correct details. I found that WhatsApp worked best to contact the company.

Kumar Vaspari - highly recommended guide to Hyderabad and Golconda - We were lucky enough to have Kumar as our guide for three days when we visited Hyderabad and Golconda. Kumar is knowlegeable and flexible with excellent English. His 24 years of experience as a licensed guide shine through. He brought out the history and helped us to see and appreciate amazing places to suit our interests.
As well as seeing all the main sites, we also enjoyed chai and biscuits straight from the oven at Nimrah’s with an introduction to its charming owner, an added delight. We visited the Dar al-Shifa Shia mosque meeting Seema Kulsum, a descendant of the eighth caliph who brilliantly explained the shrine. At Golconda, Kumar showed us the newly restored stepwells in the Qutb Shahi tomb complex.

Kumar's friendly and engaging demeanor, coupled with his extensive knowledge of Hyderabad's rich culture and history, make him an invaluable companion. He consistently provides excellent tips and suggestions, enhancing my travel experience and helping me discover hidden gems in the city. His insights and recommendations have truly made my trips memorable and enjoyable.

Excellence tour with Kumar - highly recommended! - My company arranged a tour with Kumar on my date of arrival in mid-October. It helped immensely with the jet lag because we were busy all day and it kept me awake. Kumar was knowledgeable and engaging. He adjusted the tour and visits based on my interests and we had a great time. I preferred to skip lunch and we were able to spend a little more time looking around, so be prepared to decide whether or not you want a lunch stop.
He's very personable and easy to talk to. If I were to visit again with friends or family I would not hesitate to book a tour with Kumar again. Highly recommended!
The highlight of the trip for me was Charminar and the visit to Nimrah Cafe for tea and biscuits. Getting to see behind the scenes at the cafe and talk to the owner really felt like a special experience. Charminar is the heart of the old town and bustling with street vendors and shoppers.
A few things to keep in mind: 1/ Hyderabad can be very hot. I wish I brought some sunscreen and wore shorts. 2/ Make sure you have cash on hand for admission. 3/ There are a couple souvenir shopping stops. If you've never shopped internationally, the pushy sales might be off-putting, but they're just doing their job. It's not a big deal to say no.

He shared his deep historical knowledge woven with interesting stories to give us a real sense of how this city has taken shape over centuries. We highly recommend booking with Garuda Tourism and Kumar for a great day out!
