Brilliant tour with knowledgable, flexible & helpful guide - Amazing tour of Islamabad with Waqas to see the main attractions but because this is a private tour we were also able to tailor it to our needs and made unscheduled stops to eat at an authentic bbq restaurant and also to do some shopping.
Waqas was extremely patient and helpful with translating as well as advice on where to go. Very knowledgable too and we learnt a lot about Pakistan’s rich culture and heritage throughout the day.
Highly recommend for solo or small groups

Touring Islamabad and Taxila - I had a tremendous full-day tour with Waqas, including a morning in Taxila (with its ancient Buddhist heritage) and a lively afternoon with stop off points such as the Faisal Mosque and the village of Saidpur and Lok Virsa Museum. Waqas is a reliable, friendly and knowledgeable guide. He provided many fascinating insights and he can design a day or half-day that ably meets the personal needs of each tourist. I highly recommend him.

Great day around Islamabad - Really wanted to see some of Islamabad so I booked a day tour via with Waqas as my guide.
Was collected from my hotel on time (always a good start) and then had a private tour around some of Islamabad. Firstly visiting Saidpur village one of the oldest villages in Islamabad - also such a contrast to the expensive houses you see on the approach. People here live very traditionally and you will see what Pakistan is really like. Also so interesting to see the Hindu temple - a reminder of pre-partition days.
From here we then went to Damn-e-Koh for some breathtaking views of Islamabad - the first proper glimpse of Faisal mosque. Also, you will see many other important buildings and then as you walk around the park lots of monkeys
Next came Pakistan Monument, constructed to represent the unity of the Pakistani people. Truly amazing the artwork and effort it has taken to create.
Finished off with a visit to Faisal mosque. This had been a dream of mine to visit and it was achieved today mashallah.
Can highly recommend the tour - was really chilled, Waqas was really interesting and knew a lot about the history of Islamabad. Felt super safe with him and his driver; a really important factor as a solo traveller.

Great guy, great tours - We spent 2 days on a tour with Waqas. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was also a really nice guy (and funny as well) . We really enjoyed spending time with him, and would readily recommend his tours to others
