Afghanistan Tours
Group & Private Afghanistan Tours
We organise both private and group Afghanistan tours. Whether you’re looking for a bespoke 2 day arrangement or a scheduled group tour – we’ve got you covered.
A tour to Afghanistan offers the opportunity to visit a place that has been shunned by mass tourism for 40 years. It offers a chance to interact with people and places that very few will ever go. Afghanistan offers incredible ancient history, fascinating modern history and a local population that are amongst the world’s most hospitable.
We constantly monitor the situation on the ground with our partners in Kabul. Tour itineraries are subject to last minute changes depending on the security situation. Your local guide/fixer has the last say.
We don’t advertise the dates of our group tours so please enquire below for more information .
