Fantastic experience: We went with Asif for umra in Oct 2023. I went with my mum , my son and younger niece and nephew. From the point of booking, through till us going , and all the way through Asif was constantly in communication, approachable and contactable.. the hotels were either very close by or on the door step to both mosques. He always kept in touch, making sure we were okay, checking in on my mum, and taking the boys under his wing. All the ziyaraths and information were done in English so that the younger generation could understand. Asif responded to any queries promptly, and advised and guided us during our umra trip. We are thankful and grateful for all his support and professionalism in making this a pleasant, rewarding, fulfilled and safe journey, alhamdulillah. Without hesitation we would recommend Asif for any haj and umra trip, and ourselves would book with him again. Jazakallah Asif. It was a joy travelling with you . May allah swt bless you with a happy and long life, and may he reward you for your efforts. Ameen.

Fantastic experience: Hello, nice agent for holiday and special ticket to exotica place. They also offer ticket, guides and money transfer service including go the extra miles for their customers. The shop is nice but the parking is hard. They is side street parking when it get busy. The shop entrance is bit hard to use so plan your journey head. The two people there are very helpful and friendly guys. Hope this helps

Fantastic experience: Me and my family have just returned back from Umrah Feb 2023 with Akbar Travel & Tours. Haji Asif had exceeded our expectations and the journey from beginning to end was excellent he kept us well informed during our stay in holy cities of Makkah and Madina. Before we travelled, Haji Asif kept us updated regarding tickets in addition to this he updated us on requirements and the preparations provided for umrah. Haji Asif made sure we were all settled into our hotels and assisted us during our umrah especially for those who it was their first time performing this spiritual journey. During our stay, Haji Asif kept us updated and was available all the time to help with any issues/queries we had regardless on time of the day. Our hotels were in very close locations with a very short walking distance. Really amazing service from Haji Asif and high recommended and will use again in the future InshaAllah.

Fantastic experience: Salaams, My wife and myself went for Umrah with Haji Asif from Akbar Travel & Tours in December 2022. We highly recommend Haji Asif and we were/are very happy with the service he provided - for example: - Pre Umrah information and guidance. - Hotels close to both venues. - Step by step Umrah rituals guidance. - Was available to us throughout the duration of the Umrah. - Arranged additional ziyarats for example, Ghar e Hira and Ghar e Sour. - Regular updates were provided via WhatsApp. - Met our expectations. - Was polite, considerate and professional. In summary, we believe he went the extra mile to ensure we all had a really good spiritual journey. May Allah reward Haji Asif with goodness. Mahmood Hussain

Fantastic experience: Me and my family have just returned back from umrah with Akbar Travel & Tours. We was worried and nervous before travelling due to having a bad experience previously with a different travel agent. However i must say Haji Asif had exceeded our expectations and the journey from beginning to end was perfect. Even before we travelled, Haji Asif kept us updated regarding tickets, requirements and preparations provided for umrah. Haji Asif made sure we were all settled into our hotels and assisted us during our umrah. During our stay, Haji Asif kept us updated and was available all the time to help with any issues/queries we had. As promised when making our booking our hotels were in brilliant locations with a very short walk to both harams. Throughout our journey, we had amazing tour guides who really bought the history back to life during our ziyarats. May Allah SWT bless you abundantly in this life and the here after. Ameen JazakhAllah Khair Hartham Hussain

Fantastic experience: Alhamdulillah my wife and I performed Umrah in August 2022. It has been an amazing experience all thanks to Haji Asif and everyone at Akbar Travel, they provided a professional service with help and guidance at every point throughout the journey. We listened to both English and Urdu explanations at every ziyarat. Whenever we called Haji Asif on his UK or saudi number he always answered and was happy to help in every way. The accommodation was in close proximity to both Al-Masjid an- Nawabi and Masjid al Haram and other amenities. Both hotels were of a good standard and well maintained. Haji Asif is highly organised, he had everything arranged for our stay both in Makkah and Medina. For example, having a person to provide laundry service, who came to our hotel room to pick up the clothes and then returned them the next day washed and ironed for a few pounds. At the airports Haji Asif waited until everyone was cleared, he remained with the group at all times, especially with members of the group who needed additional support. When travelling together on the coaches we were provided with useful duas and information and he had the coach driver always stop at eating and restroom facilities when on a long journey to cater for family and young children's needs. Our experience would not have been the same with a different group, I highly recommend booking your Umrah with Haji Asif and Akbar Travels.

Fantastic experience: Alhamdulilah, this is my second time travelling with haji Asif and I wouldn’t travel with anyone else. From the very start to the very end haji Asif is at your service. Not only does he make you feel comfortable and stress free but also remains calm and stress free himself. He’s there for you if it’s your first time (to help and support during umrah) likewise does not restrict those experience travellers to do as they wish. My self and my wife can not thank you enough for your support during our trip. Allah bless you! Ameen

Fantastic experience: Travelled with asif to do umrah in December 2021. From the moment we met at Manchester airport asif went above and beyond my expectations as a tour leader. Such a genuine and helpful individual who took care of all our needs. The tour was amazing did not have any difficulties as we were on umrah visa which gave us unlimited access to both Mecca and medina did not need to book anything on the app. Definitely will book again
