Wonderful, interesting and informative tour with our guide Ghulam. We were able to see several sites around Islamabad and learn about the culture and every day life. Would definitely recommend!
I enjoyed my tour with tour guide Maqsood and the driver We hit all the major sights of Islamabad and I even got driven to see a lot of the important buildings of the city. The lunch was at a traditional restaurant busy with locals and Maqsood even helped me find the souvenir that I wanted.
A huge thanks to Ghulam, who is a great guide. Thanks to him we learned so many things about Pakistan, and discovered some hidden spots around Islamabad. Was a great day, i highly recommend a tour wuth him!
I had the pleasure of taking this incredible half-day tour of Islamabad. The day was great, the sites were amazing and Ghulam - our guide - was extremely knowledgable and very friendly. I recommend the tour very highly to anyone considering it.
Wonderful day trip through the beautiful city 💖 Islamabad where I had the honor of seeing the Mosque 🕌 Faisal, a spectacular construction enclosed by mountains but with a spectacular design that really seduces you. It was built in 1969, and can hold up to 300,000 faithful. Unfortunately when we went they wouldn’t let in because it was prayer time, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t enjoy it. My guide was Maqsood who brilliantly guided the visit, and he is a worthy son of the great Mr Gulham Murtaza. Then we travel to the monument of the union, which is an architectural wonder located on a peak of a mountain showing its majesty in the environment. You will love it and it is a must when you come to this beautiful city. Maqsood explained everything in detail. Then we toured the market of the city of Pindi, typical and popular, very colorful by the way with its old and narrow streets providing 2 centuries ago, and then go to a typical place to eat a typical meal as well. Anyway, I can't describe in words the emotion I felt. We finally went to Pindi train station 🚉 built by the English more than a century ago. Fully recommended 👌 👍 the excursion and you can not miss it when you come to Pakistan
Thank you very much. It was interesting, amazing and comfortable! We had all satisfaction from exursion and meet with cute peple
My guide Ghulam was highly knowledgeable, personable, dignified and enthusiastic about the best photography angles. As luck would have it, he was hosting a family event and extended hospitality to me by inviting me to his home. I had a short stay in Islamabad but was touched and blessed by the rich local experience. Highly recommended!
My guide Ghulam was not only knowledgeable about Islamabad, he was personable, dignified and enthusiastic about the best photography angles. As luck would have it, he was hosting a family event and extended the hospitality to me by inviting me to his home. I had a short stay in Islamabad and was both touched and blessed by the rich experience. Highly recommended!
My husband and I had a wonderful tour with Ghulam! Not only is he super knowledgeable about Pakistan’s history, but he is very personable and lovely to explore with. He showed us off the beaten path places we would have never found had we visited sites independently and we got a real sense of daily life in Islamabad. If we are ever in Pakistan again we would love to book with Ghulam and explore other parts of the country. Cannot recommend working with him enough! Also he is a great photographer and took very nice pics throughout the day for us.
Maqsood is an excellent tour guide! He explained us everything in detailed, brought us to local handicraft shops and to many other very nice places with the best energy! Recommended 100%
