Great tour company! Great staff!

This is a great tour company. I am so happy that I connected with Fakhar while I was planning my 3 day trip to Lahore. We planned a 3 day private tour for me and my mom who was returning to her birthplace of Lahore. My mom had very specific needs including finding her grandmothers home and the hospital she was born at! Fakhar made it happen and we were so thrilled. We spoke on the Whats app before the trip and he made everything so easy for us. We just showed up and went with plans! Not only did he arrange the trip..he connected us with the best driver Ahmed and tour guide Shahid. All three made my moms wish come true and she calls them her sons! Fakhar made a special effort of meeting and spending time with us and treated mom with respectfulness that she will never forget! I hope to go back one day and explore more of beautiful Pakistan with this tour company!
