EXCELLENT Based on 33 reviews Posted on Anna Moretti ContiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely highly recommended. Ahsan is not just a tour guide, but also a passionate and knowledgeable scholar. With perfect and fluent English—having studied English literature—the more than two-hour tour turned into a true journey through time. During it, Ahsan retraced the history of the main buildings of the Old City of Lahore, describing their religious stratification, exploring the layers of history, and revealing the strategic, architectural, and even purely aesthetic choices made by rulers and craftsmen. All of this was presented with remarkable clarity. What can I say… I hope that his passion for the city’s incredibly rich cultural heritage can serve as an inspiration for many other young people.Posted on Mike WarrenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enjoyed memorable tours of Lahore and the Wagah Border Crossing with Ahsan. He was an absolute gentleman throughout our tours and always went above and beyond to answer our questions and satisy our sightseeing requests. Ahsan provided us with wonderful perspective on all the major Lahore sights and really helped us to understand and appreciate the grandeur and rich history of this wonderful city. Overall, Ahsan comes across as a real expert on Pakistan and we would strongly recommend him to other visitors.Posted on Aneesa AndrabiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ahsan’s tour was incredible. He is so knowledgeable, kind, and respectful. We came from abroad from the U.S. and Morocco and he explained the history of Lahore as a core site for the Mughal Empire in great detail. We went from the Shah Hamam to Wazir Khan Masjid, stopped at shops we wanted to along the way, then took a rickshaw to Lahore Fort and Badshahi Masjid. He was flexible with our timing and made us feel so cared for! I recommend his tours fully.Posted on Adeela SharifTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had visited Lahore before but this was the first time that we hired a guide as my niece was writing a dissertation about the Ravi River - which required visiting unusual parts of Lahore to access the river. When I reached out to Ahsan prior to our trip, he wasn't at all phased by the unusual request. Ahsan helped us with every detail of planning the project - before we arrived in Lahore, especially with regards to safety and accessibility following the floods, and on the research day itself. He was incredibly patient, kind, respectful, honest and accommodating. We ended up seeing beautiful countryside and farmland, completely off the tourist trail and shared some magical moments. I highly recommend Ahsan and will definitely be contacting him when I return to Lahore.Posted on Cushla MahoneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Ahsan’s guiding services several times during our 18 day stay in Lahore for a walking tour of the old city and for a day trip visiting Nankana Sahib and other Lahore sights with his great driver Sarfaraz. We also saw him multiple times during independent visits to the Wagah border closing ceremony, BadShahi Mosque and old city We can unreservedly and highly recommend Ahsan as a very professional, knowledgeable, sincere and insightful guide with a gentle lovely temperament. He was easy and clear to communicate with and honoured all arrangements even when our plans and destinations changed. He was also very honest and fair in his pricing (unlike some fellow guides with inflated opportunistic pricing) and went the extra mile to accommodate our wishes and educate us on Pakistani culture and history including discussions on the complexity and challenges of life in Pakistan. He made each encounter richer with his knowledge and approach and we have many warm memories of spontaneous “extras” like being invited to and welcomed to his driver’s home for lunch and taking us home from the Wagah border ceremony even though he wasn’t our guide that day. He always followed through on any promises sending information or answers to questions even on days off Ahsan is a wonderful guide we highly valued and can recommend without reservationPosted on John SchofieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Arranged a couple of tours on a very short visitor Lahore. I explained what I was looking for and they delivered 100%. Would use againPosted on Ilse Van der StraetenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing experience with Ahsan, a young guide in Lahore. He was kind, considerate, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history and culture. Honest and never pushy, he made me feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommended!!Posted on Ola CzwojdrakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a full-day tour and it was an absolute pleasure. Our guide shared many fascinating stories and helped us understand the rich history and culture of the city. Lahore is truly impressive, and having such an experienced and knowledgeable guide made the experience even more special. Communication in English was smooth and easy. Highly recommended! Thank you – A couple from Poland 🇵🇱Posted on Fathima CaderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ahsan was a fantastic tour guide, highly recommend! He was very generous with his time and very knowledgeable. We had a beautiful tour of Lahore Fort, Badshahi, several other mosques, and the spice market. It was stunning and lots of fun.Posted on Max GkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ahsan is a great person and guide, really passionate, honest and friendly. It was a fantastic tour through Old Town Lahore with many hidden gems, historic details and good food. He was also very accommodating considering that I booked only 1 hour in advance on a Sunday. You can tell that he really enjoys touring and connecting with tourists with an incredible curiousity. I highly recommend choosing Ahsan if you want a guide that gives you an authentic and personalised experience, rather than what you would experience in a commercial tour. Thank you Ahsan and keep in touch!
