waqas ahmed

Waqas Ahmed was an incredible tour guide in Pakistan, and I truly cannot speak highly enough of his services. From answering every question to helping me navigate the visa application process, he made everything as smooth and easy as possible, allowing me to fully enjoy traveling through this beautiful part of the world. I began my trip in Islamabad, his hometown, where he provided a fantastic introduction to the city as well as nearby Taxila, with its remarkable Gandharan art. We then drove to Rohtas Fort in Jhelum on our way to Lahore. In Lahore, some of my favorite sites included the Tomb of Jahangir and the Badshahi Mosque, with its stunning marble-inlaid red sandstone. I also loved visiting the Fakir Khana Museum and hearing the stories behind its collections. Waqas knows all the best places to eat, and our conversations about local life and culture were just as memorable as the sights themselves. After Lahore, I continued on to Karachi, and he even helped arrange my domestic flight. He is warm, friendly, open-minded, and well-traveled. Waqas is the perfect guide to Pakistan’s rich cultural and historical heritage.
