- 691taehyunc0 contributionsA must in Islamabad.Maqsood is a great guide. He took us to best places of Islamabad and explained its stories to us. Everything was smooth and well organized. However, one day is not enough to go to ten places. In the beginning, have a talk with him and plan the itnerary according to your interest. Overall, I loved his tour.Written October 31, 2024

So impressed with the service I have booked an Islamabad/Rawalpindi private tour when I return to Islamabad at the end of my holidayWritten October 24, 2024

- Imbi S0 contributionsExcellent Islamabad tour , Excellent guiderecently had an incredible tour of Islamabad, and I can't recommend Mr. Waqas as a tour guide highly enough .. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the beauty and charm of Pakistan's capitalWritten October 23, 2024
- Chewlink0 contributionsA day of history and moreSo! Much! History! Maqsood is super well connected so what he doesn't already know about Taxila's history, he can find someone to tell you. And it's not just history, it's also chai and chole at a truck stop and stories of everything in between. Also! Maqsood is very good at making sure you look very good in pictures!Written September 11, 2024
- Chewlink0 contributionsWhirlwind view of IslamabadMaqsood is a really responsive guide --this being my first time in Pakistan I told him about a couple of things that I wanted to see/do and left the rest to him. I really enjoyed being able to see different faces of Islamabad, and to get some good shopping in to boot! Maqsood also takes photography very seriously so no worries of you're not so good with the camera.Written September 11, 2024

- renrutcnadroj0 contributionsGreat Guided Tour Of Islamabad!I had a really fun time today on my tour of Islamabad. Maqsood is a wonderful guide with a plethora of information about the culture and history of the city. I learned a lot, saw some amazing sites, and had delicious food and tea. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Maqsood and his driver. We had some great conversation along the way. Oh, and plenty of amazing photo opportunities. I definitely recommend this tourWritten July 18, 2024
- 67ashleyb0 contributionsBest Islamabad Tour!I had a great tour! Ghulam was very accommodating to my needs. I had a delayed flight reaching Islamabad and had been traveling with no rest for 30 hours. I didn't want to miss viewing Islamabad as I only had one day now due to the delay. He was amazing at working with my pick up time from the hotel, he kept in contact with me and even offered airport pick up. I learned so much viewing the friendship garden, visiting surrounding towns and the buddist caves. I felt welcomed and safe in all areas and would highly recommend if your a solo traveler or a group to take the tour.Written July 13, 2024

Both of them created lovely friendly ambiance and gave us a very professional insight into history and modernity of the Buddhist stupas sites. Wonderful and very refreshing experienceWritten July 1, 2024
