Had my honeymoon tour with them, and these guys made sure we were comfortable and well accommodated. The tour was super smooth and everything was very well managed.
Umar bhai himself responded to any queries we had, instantly.
We had the most amazing driver, Amir. The guy made sure we were comfortable during the trip. Cooperated in every possible way and made for such a good companion. Would surely want our next trip with him.
My family had a private Skardu tour with TripMaker.pk. Waqar Bhai made arrangements for us and advised us of whatever was necessary. Thanks for your all arrangements we enjoyed our tour well.
Kind and trustworthy companion/driver Adnan Bhai guided us very well during our trip. He has great knowledge of northern areas. We felt very comfortable with him.
Highly recommended.
Review for 8-day Deluxe trip to Skardu.
This was my first time with TripMaker.pk. It all started with me checking reviews on this page and messaging them on Facebook.
They replied within minutes and organized a trip for me as per my needs. Also, they gave me a PDF file of my schedule a month before my travel date. For a trip of 4 people, they provided BRV model 22 which was driven by an honest, decent, and professional driver Amir Bhai.
Throughout our trip, we stayed in multiple hotels each one of them had a clean room with hot water, a heating facility, and a Wi-Fi service.
Overall, I will rate them 5/5 for their service, comfort, transport, accommodation, and punctuality.
This was my first trip with TripMaker.pk but surely there will be many more. In sha Allah. A big thank you for organizing this perfect trip.
It was our first trip to Skardu, and I must say our experience with TripMaker.pk was really great. Their team customized our whole trip as per our directions and their recommendations. Our whole trip went very smoothly, and we didn’t face any miscommunication or hurdles during our visit.
I will contact them again for our future trips, and I highly recommend them and will share them with friends and family.
Especially thanks to Waqar Ahmad.
Loved hiring you for our family trip!!
The driver was MashaALLAH very mature, friendly, cooperative, and knew all the places so well. He drove so well. Bilal Bhai was such a good guide/driver. The hotels were really good.
AlhamduLILLAH went with two small kids under 5 but faced no issues in hotel facilities especially hot water, wifi, heated rooms, and also the environment of the hotel everything was on point
This was the first time I went through a tour company, will surely hire you again for another trip whenever we make it and also we visited all the places.
The plan made was superb according to routes & all with minimum time consumption. dropped at various places to take pictures.
Thank you so much! for such a peaceful trip.
