I did both the Karachi City Tour and the UNESCO World Heritage Tour near Karachi with Fahd, and I can honestly say it was one of the best touring experiences I've ever had. He is an absolutely fantastic guide. His knowledge of history is incredible, and he tells stories in such a vivid and engaging way that every site came to life. I never felt rushed, he gave me plenty of time to take photos, and on top of that, he took some truly beautiful pictures of me himself. His photography skills are a real bonus! As a woman travelling alone, I also felt completely safe and comfortable with him throughout the day, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again for my next trip to Pakistan. If you're visiting Karachi, don't hesitate and book with Fahd. You won't regret it. 5/5 without a doubt.

Professional and Personal
Fahd was an amazing tour guide. He is an expert in Pakistans history and culture and is professional in his service. He provided us a tour in Karachi on one day then another out to Thatta on a different day. He is very friendly, and very good at taking care of his people. We will be going on another tour with him and highly recommend to others.

Great Tour of Karachi with Fahd
My day with Fahd traveling as a solo female in Karachi was great. Communication before, during, and after the tour was consistent and helpful, even with topics outside of the tour (e.g., hotel recommendations). Fahd picked me up at the airport and we toured the sights that I had suggested when planning my trip. He was knowledgeable, fun, and always kept an eye out while providing enough space for me to explore. He answered all of my questions and provided some really interesting insight on local life. His prices were also very fair. We had a full day, and I felt like I learned a lot about Karachi. As a side note, I had scheduled a trip with Fahd a few years back and had to cancel at the last minute due to a family emergency. He was very understanding and professional about the situation, so I knew that I would look to book with him when I finally made it to Pakistan. Fortunately, he was available when I re-booked my trip and I'm so glad that I was able to tour Karachi with him. He also organizes tours throughout all of Pakistan. I highly recommend booking a tour with him and I really appreciate the efforts that he took to ensure that my trip was fun, safe, and interesting.

Karachi city tour with Fahd
I did a city tour with Fahd and really enjoyed it. He’s a great guy to hang out with and talk to. He’s well versed on the history of Karachi and Pakistan and I had a nice time learning and talking about history and current events. He took me around in his car, which was comfortable with AC, and we were able to hop out at different points and see something or walk a bit. We covered a lot of ground in about 6 hours and I felt like it was a great overview of the city. He’s flexible to switch up the itinerary if you have certain things you want to make sure you see. All of the other tours on this trip have brought me places that pressured me to buy stuff and this one didn’t, which was extremely nice. It was all about the sites of Karachi and learning more than I started with. Thanks Fahd! I recommend this tour for sure.
