Travelled on Iraq – Highlights of Kurdistan tour
“UD has some very good trips and in particular, we really enjoyed this trip to Kurdistan. Dylan was an excellent guide. It was his first trip that he had run on his own and I wouldn't have realised that if he hadn't told us. He was professional and everything ran smoothly. He was also great fun and made the trip very enjoyable. His level of English was amazing, probably the best of any guide we have had before. ”Read full review
