Kurdistan is beautiful! If you are interested in Kurdistan history and culture, this is definitely the tour to take. You get to learn what the Kurds have been through in modern history and you also get to meet people that experienced tradegy, but are still alive and live to talk about what they went through. I recommend this tour to people!

I recently (May 2024) did a week-long tour of Kurdistan. In addition to the "big" sites of historical importance like Shanidar Cave, the Halabja Memorial, and Lalish, we took many small detours into bustling street food districts and waterfall-filled villages. It was an excellent introduction to both the incredibly friendly people and the landscape.

With a group of nine we spent 7 days in Federal Iraq with Kurdistan expeditions.
It is truly an amazing place with  ancient history, people and culture. But what made it truly a memorable experience was Balin  Zrar ,our guide.
Balin treated us like friends, making us feel really comfortable and excited.
He is a great guide and is the one you have to experience Iraq with. Very knowledgeable in history and culture, good story teller,excellent sence of humor and at the same time very tactful and polite.
We visited all the amazing places in Iraq - from Baghdad, Babylon to Karbala, Najaf, Nasiriyah and Samarra. We ate the most delicious fish at the marsh Arabs.
We had the most epic trip and fell in love with Iraq, the people, food,  history and culture.
I truly recommend Balin Zrar from the bottom of my heart for anyone visiting Iraq. Definitely the best guide!

Thank you Balin for this amazing trip! I  hope we'll meet again soon!!!!

I run a small travel agency in India and when. I heard that Iraq was finally open for tourists…it was a dream that was coming true…We planned our tour with all ladies for March 2024…for whatever unexpected events, we had to change the tour dates…we weren’t even sure if we would be able to operate it…And then came Balin (I call him my Angel / my Saviour)…he made the impossible- Possible
I don’t  want to go into too much details..But if you are planning a trip to Iraq..look no further…He is a man of his words, his commitment to his work is flawless. He delivers more than he promises and No One can show you Iraq like Balin will…
He makes your Dreams a Reality….

My parents were coming to visit me after a year of me living in Kurdistan. Balin designed an jam-packed plan for us to explore the Northern parts of the region in 3 days. We discovered the hidden secrets that you would never find in guidebooks from ancient aqueducts to fresh falafel. He made it memorable for each of us by paying attention to what each of our interests were and ensuring we made the most of it, which was not an easy task considering all the rain! We truly felt looked after. Thank you Balin for making our holiday so memorable, fingers crossed to another exploration in the South of Iraq!

An amazing experience, our guide Balin was both competent and amicable and never hesitated to help us when necessary. Perfect organization and a perfect short-term solution finding whenever some plans had to be adjusted due to factors out of our control (mainly weather). Great choice of hotels and restaurants along the way as well as great travel route. Can't recommend it enough.

I did the tour of Kurdistan for the Newroz in March 2024. What an amazing experience!

We travelled the whole country covering Erbil, Sulaymaniyah,  Duhok, Akre, Rawunduz and Lalish. It felt like several holidays in one. In the cities we explored the bazaars and tea houses. In the countryside we navigated the mountains, lakes and caves.

I learned so much about Kurdish culture and other communities such as the Yazidis. The Yazidi town of Lalish where you walk barefoot, was incredible.

The Newroz celebration in the mountains of Akre was breathtaking.  We hiked to the top of the mountain to take part in the preparations, then watch the stunning torchlight procession and firework display from the town. It was like nothing I'd ever experienced.

Our guide Balin was the best. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. Anything we needed,  he arranged immediately.  There wasn't a question he couldn't answer and the programme was arranged so well.

As a female solo traveller I felt so safe and people across Kurdistan were so friendly and welcoming.

I would definitely come back.
