“Born and raised within earshot of Badshahi Mosque, my mission is to reveal the soul of Pakistan beyond generic guidebooks. When you walk with Past Enlighten, you don't travel as a tourist. You explore as a welcomed guest into centuries of heritage, poetry, art and flavours.”
Who we are
Past Enlighten is a small Lahore tour company based on Fort Road in the Walled City. Bilawal grew up in the old city around the Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort, and leads our Lahore heritage tours himself. For journeys further afield, he works with regional guides who know their valleys, routes and local customs.
Our flagship Lahore full-day tour is listed on TripAdvisor as the Lahore Heritage and Sightseeing Guided Tour.
