    We had an incredible time on the tour. It was our first time in Pakistan and this made us feel so welcome and at home. The guides were incredible and we felt safe. And it was so interesting to talk about the culture. Will be recommending to anyone we know who is going to Pakistan!

    The Pakistan in-depth tour with GYPSI was truly amazing! A perfect blend of comfort, joy, and high energy throughout. We connected deeply with the country’s rich history and culture. The beauty of Pakistan is beyond words raw, real, and unforgettable. Hunza was a highlight breathtaking views and warm-hearted locals. Everything was well-organized, from travel to accommodations. This tour gave us a real, immersive experience of Pakistan. Highly recommended for anyone seeking adventure and authenticity!

    We just completed an amazing tour of Indus Valley Civilisation in Pakistan. We immensely enjoyed and learnt the history, culture, and civilisation dating from 5000 BC to current period. Gypsy travel kept us safe and happy all through. Their staff particulary, Baksh and Azim were dedicated, well informed and delivered their service with a smile. They employed the right local guides whereever necessary. As all our meals were included, we had a great variety of local food experience. The food places were clean and portions were sumptuous.
