It was a great experience traveling with Trip Maker. We had a corporate trip to Skardu by air. Everything was fabulous as promised everything was crystal clear and mentioned before departure food accommodation everything was well managed. Will be highly recommended!
Recently, I had the experience of the best trip to Skardu with “TripMaker” and it was awesome. The transport was business class, service was premium and highly professional; they hired the best hotels in the area, there was a bone fire too, and it was splendid. I would rate my experience as 9 out of 10. I am looking forward to going again with them.
Good evening! That was my first ever experience with any tour agency, and I was too scared because I was a solo girl traveling with them for the Skardu Tour tour. But it was a totally amazing experience with them. I felt safe at every moment of the Skardu trip.
I had a lot of fun, and we all participants became a family and decided to add one more day for Kalam Valley.
I had my first trip with Tripmaker, which was amazing. The hotels, facilities, staff, and food quality all things were good. And one more thing, if you guys want an affordable trip then you have to contact Trip Maker specially for families. And I’m looking for further tours with you guys (IN SHA ALLAH)
I had my first trip with Trip Maker and literally it was best one. Their cooperation, guidance, food quality, hotel stay and all other services are way much good. Hope to travel again soon.✅
