Overview

Relive the glorious past of Hyderabad when it was one of the richest and most powerful cities in the world, in the company of an expert. Take a peek into the opulent lives of the Nizams who used diamonds as paper weights! Unravel the secrets of Qutub Shahi Kings who founded the city. The itinerary covers the spellbinding Golconda Fort, majestic Qutub Shahi tombs, the lavish Chowmahalla Palace of the Nizams and romantic Charminar, the most iconic monument of Hyderabad.

Itinerary

  • Golconda Fort

    We head out to Golconda, located 11 km away from the Hyderabad City. The Golconda fort is arguably the greatest hill fortress of India. Built in AD 1143 as a mud fort, it was fortified between the 14th and 17th centuries and served as the principle Palace of the Bahmani Sultans and the Qutb Shahi dynasty. Our guide will bring alive the history of this Fort and how it shaped the future of Hyderabad and its people.

    1 hour

  • N/A

    Qutub Shahi Tombs were erected in the memory of the old kings of Golconda. The arch, columns, dome minarets, and galleries look exquisite and are surrounded by gardens called Ibrahim Bagh. As per legend, these tombs were revered during the rule of the Qutub Shahi Kings and even criminals taking refuge here were pardoned.

    30 minutes

  • N/A

    Choumahalla, the Palace of the Nizams who were at one time the richest people in the world is the next halt in this Hyderabad City Tour. Some of the noteworthy sections in this Palace include a water fountain, vintage cars, intricate carvings, glass chandeliers and the grand durbar hall. During the heydays of the Nizams, as many as 7000 attendants used to man this Palace! Our guide will give you an insight into the personal and political life of Nizams of Hyderabad.

    1 hour

  • Charminar

    Our final destination in the Hyderabad City Tour is Charminar, a monument that is symbolic of the city of Hyderabad. It was built in 1591 by Mohammed Quli Qutb Shahi, the fifth sultan of the Qutub Shahi dynasty to commemorate the end of a deadly plague attack of the city. Our guide will enthrall you with legends like the presence of a secret tunnel underneath Charminar which connected to Golconda Fort, created as a means of escape for the royal family at times of distress.

Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guide.

Published on Mar, 2025

An excellent tour round some highlights of Hyderabad. My guide Murthy was very knowledgeable and articulate about the history of each place we visited. Murthy was also extremely considerate of my age and very patient in terms of taking time to make some of the more arduous climbs (Goloconda Fort). His combination of great knowledge and equal kindness made for a truly exceptional and memorable tour. Murthy also helpfully pointed out other places of interest as we travelled so that I can visit at a later date. And lunch was great! A first class tour. Thank you Murthy!

Great visit to Hyderabad

Published on Mar, 2025

This visit was part of our third private tour with 5 Senses (first tour, So. India for a month; second No. India for 5.5 weeks; third East and South India, one month). You might have guessed that we are very happy with the company. All three tours were fantastic, this one no exception. There is not a lot to see in Hyderabad, but it's still worth a tour (especially if you're there for work and have a free weekend). John, our 5 Senses local guide, was very good. Don't miss his "tea stall visit" in the market--you won't forget it! The primary strength of 5 Senses is its people. The owner, Mr. Narayanan, is a great travel planning partner (he’ll work with you to craft exactly the trip you want) and he is super-responsive during trips if any problems arise. I am confident that Narayanan will fix it if it needs fixing—he has helped us several times in that way, and he has done it quickly. The state-based “cultural ambassadors” he has recruited (the guides who accompany you for days, across multiple sites) are excellent and soon become friends. For this month-long tour, I’d particularly like to call out Kannan (Tamil Nadu) and Mohan, and Chandra Shekar (Karnataka). If you are touring other parts of the country, we highly recommend Balwinder (Punjab and Rajasthan) and Vivek and Ram Sewak (Varanasi, Khajuraho and environs). It is basically a fool’s errand to try to price shop local tour operators—there are too many variables, including the type of accommodation, the quality of guides and the quality of transport (both of which can’t be assessed ahead of time). That said, over the course of the three tours, we feel that 5 Senses has been very good value for money. And I can say for certain that you would pay three times as much for the same Smithsonian or Nat Geo or other corporate tour, plus you’d be on a bus with many other folks and stuck with the group schedule. With 5 Senses you’re in your own car deciding where and when you want to go, where you want to eat, and when you want to take it easy. My advice to friends looking for a private tour in India is “don’t bother contacting other companies, just talk to 5 Senses. You won’t regret it.”

Incredible Hyderabad full day tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Amazing tour with Mohan. He was extremely knowledgeable and planned the tour very well. Highly recommend, especially if you are in Hyderabad for a limited amount of time.

Exceptional Hyderabad Tour with Nagaraj!

Published on Feb, 2025

We had an amazing tour of Hyderabad with our guide, Nagaraj. From the very beginning, his warm hospitality and deep knowledge of the city made our experience truly unforgettable. He provided fascinating insights into Hyderabad’s rich history, culture, and local traditions, making every stop incredibly informative and engaging. Nagaraj ensured we experienced the city like a local, taking us to hidden gems and authentic spots we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. His recommendations for food, shopping, and sightseeing were spot on! Plus, his photography skills were an added bonus—he captured some fantastic moments for us throughout the tour. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional guide in Hyderabad, look no further than Nagaraj. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore the city in an authentic and immersive way!

Mohan the great story teller!

Published on Feb, 2025

Mohan was a great tour guide! He is very knowledgeable, friendly and a great story teller! We got to see all of the main sights in one day and highly recommend visitors to do it through a tour- you learn so much more!
