Favourite part of Pakistan - Visiting Peshawar was a fantastic experience! What an amazing city, from the grandness of the markets to the warm hospitality of the locals, and everything in between. Thank you, Mr Maqsood for an amazing day spent traversing culture, history, food, and architecture. We even had a police protocol while visiting - I’ve never felt safer. Cannot recommend this tour more, it’s a must-do when visiting Pakistan.

Able to experience the local life - Loved this tour. I love knowing about the local life so the tour guide Ghulam Murtaza quickly adapted it to my liking by introducing the people he knows and negotiating with shop owners so I can see the local life. It was incredibley informative and was able to really interact with the locals. Also best kebab I have ever had!

Peshawar tour - This was a fantastic day trip from Islamabad to the fascinating city of Peshawar that I took in May 2023. My tour guide, Waqas, was a great source of information about the region and everything else about Pakistan. This is one of the most interesting cities in Pakistan and should not be missed.
