After pickup from your hotel, you will be transported to Golconda Fort, previously known as Mankal. In its initial days, this fort was built of just mud walls. The historic fortress served as a principal capital during the reign of the Qutub Shahi kings who replaced the mud walls with granite stones.

The tour was excellent, the pick up on time, the service in the car was really good. The tour guy has a lot of experience and knowledge, we are really happy about it. The only "bad" thing is that the tour supossed to last for 6 hours but it was less than that, in my opinión this tour is good with just 3 hours but it should be mentioned in the description, otherwise seems as an deception
