Best Tour Guide Ever 👏🏻 - This was such a special experience! The guide met me at the border and I spent 6 days touring Lahore and Islamabad with him and his very safe driver. He is an excellent historian who explains what we are visiting and how it ties into the history of the region. He knows everyone wherever we went and was able to help me gain access to sites I could never go to on my own. We visited the fort, mosques, tombs, gardens, archeological sites, and museums. I felt 100% safe throughout my travels in Pakistan. (Reviewed at: 2024-05-15)
