Recently went to Skardu with The Explorers. Very cooperative and nice team. Especially the tour guide, Numan. He is a very friendly, fun, and down-to-earth guy. He created a family-like environment throughout the tour. The hotels were great, food was good (mostly). There is room for improvement in time management and communication. Sometimes arrival/departure/meals were late. Overall it was a great experience for me and my wife. We had fun, made friends, and enjoyed a lot. I will do my next tour with these guys.

This tour company and trip planner were extraordinary. It was amazing! The trip planner listened to what we were interested in doing and was so knowledgeable about our destination that he gave us opportunities we didn’t even know existed. The places we stayed were spectacular and the whole trip went very smoothly. We felt special and well taken care of at all times. I highly recommend traveling with this team.
