Rafiq was a fabulous guide. He was so welcoming and considerate to our group of four. He was thoughtful about the schedule and needs of each of us. Where needed he was flexible. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing information about the culture and country. If we were going on another tour we would want Rafiq!
