The stay was very comfortable and the best hotel with the best breakfast and dinner arrangements. The guide is also very cooperative. I recommended others and I appreciate all the services of TripMaker.pk.
I traveled recently on a New Year trip which was also my honeymoon trip. It was a wonderful experience to travel with them. Everything was first class. I feel it was a family trip because everyone traveling with us was very friendly especially Noman Bhai made a very strong bond with every passenger. I think everyone should have to experience all the facilities which they provide and which otherwise could be very expensive if we travel alone. Rooms, hotel, conveyance, food, timing, etc… everything was pretty good. Thanks a lot and I, ‘ll wait for the next trip.
