- Lahore Adventure: Unexpected Kindness & A Tourist Lesson (ft. Ramadan)
This episode is a mix of emotions! While filming in Lahore, Pakistan during Ramadan, I met Zubair, a friendly rickshaw driver who offered his hospitality. I also encountered Khalid, an enthusiastic guide who shared his knowledge of the Badshahi Masjid.
I naively agreed to a higher service charge than expected. This is a good reminder to always discuss pricing beforehand even though they told you it's free of charge (usually it isn't)!
Despite the hiccup, I had a wonderful time exploring Lahore with Zubair and Khalid. This video focuses on the positive aspects of the trip, showcasing the beauty of the Badshahi Masjid and the walled city.
Lesson learned: Always negotiate prices clearly to avoid misunderstandings. 🇵🇰
What do you think? Was Khalid's tour worth the price, based on the video? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Lahore police should take action against these scammers, and contact Aidan for the refund of the extra amount.
It's sad and it happens everywhere not just in Pakistan, but pls in future ask first about cost of anything, but seriously majority of Pakistanis are big hearted❤
Yes Yes!! Pakistanis are definitely one of the kindest people I know. I am sad the embassy took too long to approve my visa, I had to cut my trip from 16 days to 6 days so I didn't make enough video to show how spoilt I am with the loves. Hope one day I'll be able to return, inshallah. Happy Ramzan! 🫡🇵🇰💚
I got robbed in London recently but a friendly local took me to the police station and then took me for iftar
I hope you are ok. Really bad experience. :(
@@GoWithAidan it's always a risk in London luckily no cash was taken just some shopping I done at Supermarket which was snatched
In USA there, I lived several years. I was, attacked, looted, scammed. Things happen anywhere,.... But US was, extreme
I wish you are doing ok. Yeah US isn't exactly nice and pretty as most people think. But I hope I will visit one day.
Beautiful country🇵🇰
Very beautiful country!!
Wellcome to Pakistan🇵🇰🇵🇰❤❤❤
Thank you Waseem. Can't wait to return again, inshallah!
I am Pakistani we often face scam on auto charges.But we don't pay them extra money beacuse before the ride we decide them charge.if any driver try to over smart just take decide miney on their and move his way
There are many guide's or scammers also outside
Yes. Have to be careful, especially when you are hiring a service. Make sure you know the price, or better yet, pay them upfront so there is no room for them to rip you off.
welcome to Pakistan
i invite you to visit mansehra kpk
I will return inshallah. I planned to do 16 days but PK embassy took too long yo approve my visa so I ended up going for 6 days, traveling from city to city already took a whole day so I didn't take much videos.
@@GoWithAidan to travel is to live
Alhamdulillah Ramadan mie sab halal hai😂😂😂😂😂
BRAVO-ZINDABAD--BRAVO ♥️LOVE-RESPECT FROM LHR PAKISTANI♥️🐱♥️♥️🇵🇰♥️
Well Come in pakistan
Other than a few rotten eggs, I'm OBSESSED with Pakistanis!
10,000 bucks is worth the experience that you earned in Lahore, my friend. Experience is like wealth that you never lose.
From now on you will always travel with this wealth & manage the situation more wisely.
You mean Rp10,000 for a ride from Wagah border to Lahore and then visit a mosque? It's totally expensive but yeah its definitely a good lesson for myself.
Yes must deal first ask price first for everything and pay if not it's your mistake travelling rule best of luck
Yes haha. But I didn't ask for the services. The first guy told me I don't need to "worry" about payment, which I totally should have clarified how much, my bad.
The guy from masjid approached me when I didn't ask for his service. I met so many friendly people in India (before I entered Pakistan), plus in Malaysia, we have free guides to show foreigners jn masjid so I totally didn't expect him to be a tour guide giving me a tour service without even getting my consent. Ultimately, its my fault I wasn't familiar with the exchange rate so I wasn't expecting he was actually charging me crazy amount of money.
But it's my lesson I should have asked them what are their charges. 😅😅
Sorry that you had this awful experience and thanks for sharing.
Hey! I did not have bad time at all in Pakistan, just frustrated when some people tried to take advantage of me during Ramzan. Happy Ramzan to you!!
Happy Ramzan. I’m glad that you stood your ground and not let them rip you off.
WELCOME TO PAKISTAN, STAY BLESSED AMEEN.
VERY GOOD NICE JOB ZINDA BAD WELCOME
Assalam O Alikum ! Stay Blessed I am shocked and feeling embarrassed to what happened with you.
Walaikumsalam brother. Thanks for your message. They were actually very friendly so I wanted to focus on the positive part because Pakistanis have been very amazing to me in my very short stay. I'll be back Inshallah. 🇵🇰
You should confirm the price before
Assalamwalaikum. Totally agree brother.
At first, the rickshaw guy was very friendly and I did ask him how much is the rickshaw ride from Wagah Border to Lahore. He actually told me don't worry about it so I decided to hire him to show me around for the next day and I'll pay him fairly anyway. I can only blame myself for not making it clear from the get go. 😌
And for the old guy from Badshahi Masjid, I was filming video when he approached me and started to tel me stories without telling me about his price. I thought he worked for the masjid and thats why I was walking with him the entire time. At that point, I came from India and Indian were very very kind to me and even pay for my clinic fee when I was sick so I thought Pakistani is probably as kind as their Indian counterparts.
Its my fault I should have stood my ground on that one, brother. 😌😌
I think which ever country your travelling in you shouldn’t be expecting any favours from anyone one I feel bad for your bad experience anyway mistakes make you better and wiser for the future, black sheep’s exist around the world every were forget about it and enjoy rest of your journey good luck
@@MOI2024. I have to say I usually don't expect anything from anyone, but having met so many Pakistanis in my life, I have to say I'm spoilt with so much kindness and that puts an unfair expectation that I will be spoilt with love in their country. 😅
First of all who said u to take a guide for badshahi mosque no one take a guide in cities except in mountains only for safety second u should insist to go to the police and they will be gone but anyway remember dont take a guide to discover these places everuthing is written on the boards in front of every building or monument take guide only in mountains area goodluck and keep in mind next time
As you can see from the video, he inserted himself into my video. In Malaysia, usually we have people in the mosques eagerly tell you stories about the mosque for free, which is literally what this man did so I thought it was a norm in every masjid everywhere.
As its pretty much my first interaction with locals, I was confused it was actually a chargeable service so I fell into the trap. It's also my fault for not standing up for myself. 🫠🫤😐
@@GoWithAidan where ever you go first ask from someone you know who has visited there or watch some videos of other vlogers alot of videos on youtube are there .. its ok next time if someone start stories to u u say him hello hi bye bye 😀
Holi in India videos post bro
Posted today!! Bro go check it out remind me where have I met you. I met a lot of people that day I need to be reminded about it. Haha.
Good you didn't take your wife to Pakistan 😅
Yes jesy mexwell ki wife Indian jesy shoaib ki waif Indian same 😂😂😂😂
So basically be very careful when taking any service when going wagha border or crossing wagha border , cause these people like majority on the taxi drivers at airports try to overcharge.
Unfortunately its a bad case and the guy trying to be greedy. But tbh at the end it felt like am overstretch to call it scam, atleast from what is shown in the video, offcourse i understand the guy trying to be greedy leaves a bad taste in the mouth, but prices also sbould be cleared before hand definitely, also there might be some lost in translation as well.
Not trying to defend the guy, but when you use such strong words in title and with an intro like that, i think we deserve more evidence otherwise its just hear say!
Yeah from my part I definitely should have made it clear how much it will cost to protect myself.
I did ask him how much should I pay for showing me around, he kept saying "no worries, no worries" and said I have to pay only for the ride from Wagah to Lahore. Hence I had a rough estimation how much it will be. And because we became friends and I even met his family, spent the night at his house and sahoor with them, that totally lowered my guard as a traveler I should have, and that's why I got confused once he showed his true color. 🙁🙁
@@GoWithAidan from a few video I have seen from TH-camrs, the drivers at Wagha are a bit greedy, they try to charge in dollars or Indian rupees. Similar to what we see taxi drivers do in airports all over the world, it needs to be checked and corrected by the authorities.
I am sure if it was someone else, if they invited you into your home, they'd be moving head over heels for you , cause for us, home is a very sacred and private place, usually people here don't let anyone that they don't know let in.
But it's understandable to feel this way after you have trusted someone! It's leaves a bad taste.
If you're still in Lahore, hit me up, I will try to help you out in any way possible, even if our schedules align, maybe show you around the city as well! Maybe try to make it up for the bad experiences you have had here, specially as a first impression of the city and country!
You allowed yourself to be scammed.
You definitely can say that. 😅
its lahore bro they dont want you to go to kpk but Punjab is scam lol
They are friendly until they aren't. That's why it's exhausting 🫣😩🤪
Why the hell did you stay in his place & got scammed. No sensible vlogger will do that. Never trust anyone in any country.
Thanks for reaching out. Because I have been doing that in every countries and done exactly that in many countries and I had some of the best memories with the locals. If you ask me again if I would do it again, without a doubt... yes.
Ramadan is the month when anger, prices of food, frustration of people, frequency of accidents all go up.
Ramadan is not something that brings out the best in people. It's a month of starvation, grifts and scams.
I experienced a lot of kindness in Pakistan.
@@GoWithAidan Growing up in Karachi, I have seen it year after year how being Hangry and thirsty for so long brings out the worst in people.
@@ProudMurtad i wish the situation changes for the better.
@@ProudMurtadoh..so when America kills Muslims in other countries I should blame atheism.?..
I am scammed by Philipine taxi drivers and Chinese host in Guam.
🥲🥲 I am very sorry for your experience Ali.
@@GoWithAidan don’t worry brother. Just be happy. Scammers will be scammed by other scammers in futurez
Rip off Rikshaw driver,probably take him 1 month to earn $100,no one around at the time to help you dispute it,and pay less,you probably gave in to easily,other TH-camrs wouldn't not have put up with it,greed for more money,they become aggressive,arrogant.
Wouldn't have dared do it,if police was around,they'd slap him,he'd get lost.
Yeah I'm a bad traveler, and I definitely learned my lesson from him. Check out my next video, I met a police who tried to scam me and I was able to defend myself. 😅😅
A non muslim should NOT chant Allahu Akbar that and the "zindabad zindabad" was cringe AF
Sorry I didn't know that. I was doing what the crowds were doing. 🙇🏻♂️
@@GoWithAidan You do you... As an Atheist I wouldn't join Allahu Akbar or any other religious chants and slogans with sincerity. But uttering a few meaningless words isn't a big deal to me either...
@@ProudMurtad I think from my point of view, the locals really love it when foreigners chant that so connecting with people is what matters to me the most at that point.
