My trip to Iraqi Kurdistan was truly unforgettable, especially the visit to Shanidar Cave. Guided by Ahmed, I explored this archaeological marvel where the remains of Neanderthals were discovered, shedding light on their burial practices and social behaviors. The cave's stunning location in the Zagros Mountains added to the experience, making it a perfect blend of history and nature. Ahmed's knowledge and passion for the region made every moment enriching and engaging, leaving me with lasting memories.

"Ba broin!" Means "let's go" in Kurdish, and is one of the sentiments most excitedly felt when weaving through the mountains of Kurdistan in Ahmad's adventure truck! A trip with Iraqi Kurdistan Tours, organized and led by Ahmad himself, means discovering a wide variety of Kurdistan's incredible nature, diverse cultures, long history and local cuisine, all delivered with an attention to detail and high level of English. Along the way there's also the option of learning some Kurdish, which Ahmad is happy to teach! There was not a question Ahmad couldn't answer, which really shows his proficiency in his work! Despite a rather late notice, 4 full days of journeying through Kurdistan couldn't have went any smoother thanks to Ahmad's expert itinerary planning and his warm demeanor. He is kind, accommodating, easygoing and overall a pleasure to be around. As a solo traveler I tend to not love being in the presence of the same person for too long, but this was not a problem at all with Ahmad who not only played the role of guide, but also became a great friend as well. Ahmad also knew all the best spots for photos - many of which only locals will know, so if that's your thing.. you know what to do! Highly recommend booking with Ahmad/Iraqi Kurdistan Tours for your trip to Kurdistan, you won't regret it!

I was looking for a tour guide as a solo traveller and I couldn't be more happy with Ahmed. Local, knowledgable and fun to hang around with. Thank you again, Ahmed!

Ahmed was a great guide that showed us the real culture of Iraqi Kurdistan. He was attentive and always helped us with our wishes such as buying local clothes and eating special foods. I highly recommend him!

Me and my friend had a great time with Ahmed! He was adherent to our needs and wishes and showed us all the relevant spots, aswell as the culture. He even invited us to eat a traditional dinner on the floor at his parents house. A flexible and social guide for a good price! Great guy!
