Apart from the country being so fabulously interesting, what made it for me was the wonderful contribution that both Rebecca and Balin [Zrar, the Tour Guide] made to the tour.<\/p>

As an Assyriologist myself I really valued Rebecca\u2019s fantastic input and all the work she did… She went out of her way to reveal things in the country which most tourists wouldn\u2019t see – including a visit to the Shanidar Cave with a talk from [Dr] Tim Reynolds, the palaeo-archaeologist [at Birkbeck, University of London], who had just arrived that day to start work on the cave. <\/p>

She has that amazing quality, so often lacking in lecturers, of knowing when to give more information and when to lower the tone! I hope you will engage her often as she is truly a worthwhile speaker and very hard-working. Indeed, a lovely person.<\/p>

I celebrated a birthday while we were away and Rebecca and Balin were extremely thoughtful and kind, decorating the bus with balloons and banners and giving me a lovely party in the evening. They work so well as a team together and one can sense that real appreciation of each other\u2019s contribution to the tour. Brilliant combo!!<\/p>Elizabeth Plenderleith
