Having limited time available, I decided to engage tour guide and good I did that. Madhu is an extremely knowledgeable and pleasant who ensured I had a great sightseeing experience in Hyderabad. He was pretty flexible and understood my preference quickly. His narratives and historical references made this trip interesting. He genuinely has interest in this field and it's quite evident. Thanks you  tour HQ for persistent follow up and allocating the best guide.

Wishing all the best to Madhu and hoping that tourism will get back its old glory very soon. 

Madhu scores 100% for this trip over 5 days in November 2017

Madhu is extremely knowledgeable and very courteous and could answer clearly and in perfect English all our questions. There was never too much information, as is often the case with tour guides, but just enough giving us the historical importance and up to date cultural facts. 

We toured Golconda and the Qutb Shahi Tombs and then he kindly took us to Shaikpet which I had read about. After lunch at Falaknuma we visited the Residency which I know from previous trips.

On the next day to Bidar to see the Tombs, the fort and the great Madrasa, and on to Gulbarga for the night. The next day to Bijapur, notably to see Ibrahim Roza tomb, and then to Hampi.

My only regret is that he was not with us when we visited the great Cathedral at Medak, created by my Posnett family and opened by my grandfather in 1924. I recommend this visit to all religions, not just Christians
