Highly recommended. Would take this tour again. I cannot thank Muzaffar enough. It was a wonderful tour by the city local. He showed us all the interesting spots and shared a lot of history and insights. Communication was fast and easy. Tour was adjusted to our interests. Muzaffar even told us about his personal experience meeting mother Theresa.

The handsome Mr Khan was an absolute gem. His knowledge on the local culture, history and culinary delights was priceless. We were on a short layover and couldn’t have picked a better tour. The tour was interlaced with historical sites, buzzing markets with pit stops to taste the local cuisine. 100% recommend it!

Muzaffar was the best guide! He gave us an exclusive look into the main sites and behind scenes views of a fabulous city. With good spirits and tremendous knowledge, he nagivated us through places like the post office, flower market, coffee house, and suspension bridge, St. Paul's, and held space for me to spend extra time at the Missionaries of Charity. He connected great with my buddy and I as Americans. He is a world-class tour guide, getting asked to tour the next day with a government ministry team. I learned a lot about the people, history, art, government, culture, and current society. Thank you, Muzaffar!
