    Embarking on the Islamabad and Peshawar Tour with Bakhsh Ur Rehman was a culturally enriching experience. The itinerary seamlessly blended the modern charm of Islamabad with the historical allure of Peshawar, offering a well-rounded exploration of Pakistan's diverse heritage. In Islamabad, we marveled at the impressive Faisal Mosque and explored the lush landscapes of the Margalla Hills. Transitioning to Peshawar, we delved into the city's rich history, visiting iconic landmarks such as the Qissa Khwani Bazaar and the Peshawar Museum. Throughout the journey, our guide's expertise illuminated each destination, providing valuable insights into the region's culture and traditions. The accommodations and transportation arranged by Bakhsh Ur Rehman were comfortable and reliable, ensuring a stress-free travel experience. Overall, the Islamabad and Peshawar Tour exceeded expectations, offering a captivating glimpse into the beauty and heritage of Pakistan's capital and the historic city of Peshawar. I am thankful to Bakhsh Ur Rehman for being such professional travel guide throughout the journey.
