Overview

The Old City Heritage Walk is an immersive walking tour in Hyderabad which takes you back 400 years in time back to the times of the Qutb Shahi Sultans who built the city and left a lasting cultural legacy. As we walk past the palatial mansions and mosques of a bygone era we will also relive the life and times of the Nizams of Hyderabad in this walking tour. The walk commences at the famed Charminar and ends at Chowmahalla Palace of the Nizams. Our company is committed to strengthening local communities. We help train and employ local guides and support local businesses to ensure travel dollars stay where they are spent.

Itinerary

  • Charminar

    Charminar is 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 on 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.

    30 minutes

  • Laad Bazaar

    We will visit this famous street bazaar for pearls and bangles.

    20 minutes

  • Mecca Masjid

    We next walk to Mecca Masjid which is one of the oldest mosques in India. The foundation stone was laid by Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah, the fifth ruler of Qutub Shahi dynasty. The bricks used to build the mosque have been made from soil sourced from Mecca! This magnificent mosque can accommodate more than 10000 people.

    40 minutes

  • N/A

    We walk to the Palace of Khurshid Jah Bahadur, who belonged to the Shamsiya family, one of the first noble families of Hyderabad. One can only imagine the splendor of this building during its heydays with its elliptical arches and 40 feet tall Corinthian pillars! Though the name Baradari means twelve doors there are only five! This mansion has now been converted into the Hussaini Alam Government Girls College. Our next destination is a 19th century Palace of a Paigah nobleman named Asmanjah who was a law minister in the service of the Nizams. The highlights of this two-storied palace are Greek Corinthian pillars and an emblem of the glowing sun at the entrance.

    30 minutes

  • N/A

    The last leg of our walk brings us to Choumahalla. It is the Palace of the Nizams who were at one time the richest people in the world. 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. (Choumallah Palace is closed on Friday. If we do the walk on a friday, we will not be visiting it)

Interesting and entertaining tour through Hyderabads history

Published on Mar, 2025

The tour with our tour guide John was not only interesting but also very entertaining. John tells the history with a lot of stories so we had fun and laughed a lot while learning about Hyderabad and the Nizam dynasties. I will never forget the visit in the bakery with mouthwatering biscuits hot from the oven. I can really recommend this tour.

Fantastic walking tour of the old city of Hyderabad. My tour guide John was very knowledgeable and helpful. He made me feel at home as a tourist visiting India for the first time. We did an in-depth tour of Chowmahalla palace, Charminar, and the Mecca Masjid. We finished with delicious tea and cookies in the Laad Bazaar. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the old city.
