In August 2024, my wife, teenage son, and I enjoyed a two-day guided tour with Saad Zahid. We spent one day in Androon Lahore and one in the city. Living in Canada, we wanted to explore Lahore’s heritage and found Saad through his insightful YouTube videos. He replied promptly on WhatsApp and shared a detailed plan. In person, Saad was professional, punctual, and deeply passionate about history, bringing each site to life through his storytelling. He went above and beyond to help us truly experience the city, and even our teenage son loved it. His communication and dedication made this tour unforgettable, and we wish him the very best.

Testimonials
Hidden Architectural Gems on Mall Road
Saad was an excellent guide for when I travelled to Lahore. We wanted to visit lesser known buildings on the mall road and he showed us so many interesting architectural gems. His insights made the tour very informative and interesting.

A Deeply Moving Encounter with Lahore’s Walled City
Exploring the Walled City of Lahore on a guided tour with Saad was not only enriching, it was profoundly moving. The priceless old buildings are full of stories, carrying a heritage that could fade if we do not pass it on. Saad’s remarkable expertise and deep insights helped me go far beyond surface-level knowledge, uncovering the layers of this historic city in a way that was both engaging and enlightening. It was fun and fascinating at the same time. A truly unforgettable experience and absolutely recommended.

Essential Support for Partition Fieldwork and Research
I reached out to Saad with a last-minute request for support with research fieldwork in Lahore on the Partition of Punjab. From the start, Saad was warm, responsive, and deeply engaged with my work. He thoughtfully planned a rigorous four-day programme, introducing me to key individuals and sites that greatly enriched my understanding of the city’s historical and social landscape. His insight, professionalism, and genuine passion made a significant impact on my research. I wholeheartedly recommend Saad to anyone seeking a meaningful, well-guided experience in Lahore, whether for learning, research, or exploration.
