Asghar Hussain, Deputy Director Tourism, Walled City of Lahore Authority, said, "The Old Havelis of Androon Lahore are a significant element of the city's architectural legacy. They not only display traditional designs but also provide a window into the daily life of the past. Visiting these historic homes is like traveling back in time, allowing one to experience how people once lived and interacted within the social fabric of Old Lahore. These tours emphasize the architectural foundations established by common people, not just by rulers or officials, which have influenced the distinct structures of the old city. With this perspective, the Walled City of Lahore Authority is committed to celebrating and sharing every aspect of this cultural heritage with the public".
Kamran Lashari, Director General, Walled City of Lahore Authority, also expressed his opinions on this guided tour of Old Havelis. He said, "Visitors to Lahore's heritage sites have long been attracted by the historic havelis of Androon Lahore, celebrated for their intricate architectural designs. Built during the Mughal, Sikh, and British periods, these havelis serve as a vivid testament to traditional lifestyles, street culture, and the social dynamics of various historical epochs. The Walled City of Lahore Authority has devoted substantial efforts to preserving this cultural heritage, ensuring its protection in the face of urban development and modernization. To further enrich the experience, cultural performances have been incorporated into these tours, offering a comprehensive and immersive visit at a reasonable cost"
