Wonderful Tour through the History of Sindh - This time in Karachi, I and my wife wanted to see the amazing historical sites near the city. I had seen all of them as a sightseeing visitor but without guides, so this time we decided to book a guided tour. Based on our excellent experience all over the world, we checked out tours through Viator and were pleasantly surprised to find many good options. Ultimately, we booked this tour provided by GOVAC Travels. It was a small group (4 or fewer) tour, but in the event, it was just the two of us, our guide Mr. Zehan Tahir, and our driver, Mr. Baqar. They offered to pick us up from where we were staying in Sea View at 7:30 AM, and, in spite of some early morning fog, were able to do so by 7:45. It was a comfortable car, and we visited Chawkandi, Bhanbhore, Makli, and the great mosque in Thatta. The tour was very well-organized with knowledgeable local guides at every site. Even as a veteran of prior visits, I learned several new things. The tour included a nice lunch at the famous Cafe Imran. After the tour, they offered to drop us at home, which was extremely convenient. The whole experience was wonderful. The sites are fascinating. The graves of Chawkandi and the tombs of Makli are incredible in their intricate beauty snd elegance; the Shahjahani Mosque in Thatta is without question one of the most architecturally beautiful Mughal buildings in the Sub-Continent; and the ruins of Bhambhore echo with the ghosts of history and the legend of the tragic love story of Sassi and Punnu. The guide and the driver were both very professional and thoughtful. They accommodated my desire to linger to take more photographs while politely keeping us on track. My wife, who had only been to Chawkandi before, had a similarly positive opinion. I would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to explore these sites. They also provide city tours in Karachi and in other parts of the country.

Marvellous Unesco Treasures safely and kindly guided - This tour was really a beautiful experience. The guide and the driver were very professional and kind. They picked me up on time and made me feel safe and comfortable all day. The places we visited are impressive and definitely worth visiting, offering glimpses into different historical periods and the richness of the local cultural heritage. The Chaukhandi tombs, Makli and Shah Jahan Mosque are really mesmerizing! And Bhambhore is next to a lake with lovely birds. It is also a great opportunity to know Karachi's surroundings and spend time out of the intense city life, while watching the colourful trucks in the highways. The local food was delicious and the guide even joined me to buy some souvenirs, bargaining with the shop owner to guarantee the best price. I definitely recommend this!!
