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.

VA ladies day out in Hyderabad - Booking through Viator was best decision as we three ladies got the best guide. Srinu was hospitable and detail - oriented. We were travelling with 80 yrs old friend, i have mentioned it while booking that the tour schedule needs to be designed keeping that in factor and it was delivered as requested. Visitng in April Hyderabad temperature comes with scorching heat. Srinu and his team picked us up and dropped off at our AirBnB location. At every tourist location gave us enough time to explore and explained the historical significance. Made us walk though the timeline of each monument we have visited. My friends and i talked about and felt interested in Hyderabad's rich culture and heritage. Srinu made sure we get local food experience - going to Nimrah cafe, trying Irani Chai and Osmania biscuts, for lunch having authentic south inidan food was amazing. Shopping for Souveniors and gifts was made easy as part of the tour - srinu took us to local crafts shops and pearl stores. Overall my friends and i had a great one day tour. Glad we booked it through Viator to get an knowledgeable tour guide. Felt like we made friend. Highly recommend to book it.

A wonderful experience - John was an excellent guide. His knowledge of the city and friendly demeanor made for a truly memorable conversation and a memorable day. The man knows his history and he really paints a picture that helps you feel like you were truly there riding with the Nizams. Sprinkle that with a healthy dose of cultural immersion and an obvious presence amongst the city folk, you’ll get to meet some wonderfully friendly and inviting people. I definitely recommend the experience and I’m excited for you to try it. Thanks John!

Absolutely Fabulous - If i could give a 6 star rating I would. My guide, Anand was polite, respectful and extended knowledgeable. He was so easy to talk to. I learned enough about the history of Hyderabad that i want to research more. Our driver was very skilful in traffic and always made me feel safe. It is a long day touring but the gentle pace made it easy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting this amazing city.

Great one day tour - The guide, Matta, was great! This is a great tour to do if you only have a limited amount of time in Hyderabad. The one suggestion I would make is to bring a hat for the sun. There is not much covering at the fort, and I found myself wishing I had brought a hat for the sun.

A day spent touring. Lots of chat about water storage. - An excellent day with Ramu and his driver. Punctual arrival at the hotel to collect us and then a full day touring the various sights with excellent narration from the guide (a little difficult to understand at times). I throughly recommend this tour of Hyderabad.

Great day out - highly recommended - Great day with a very friendly and knowledgeable local guide (Mithun) and driver to build on and support the guides within the tombs and fort. Brilliant way to see a lot of Hyderabad in one go and the lunch was also fantastic- we got a lot of insight into both the history of Hyderabad and India.
