This space should reflect real voices and journeys from the G.B. Tours & Travels community.
We had a wonderful and peaceful Iraq Ziyarat experience with G.B. Tours and Travel. Everything was very well managed, making our journey comfortable and stress-free. The hotels were close to the Haram, which made it easy for us to visit the holy shrines as often as we wanted. The bus, accommodation, food, and overall arrangements were all excellent. The organisers were very supportive and helpful throughout the trip. I would definitely recommend G.B. Tours and Travel to anyone planning an Iraq Ziyarat. They made our journey truly memorable. Highly recommended
Alhamdulillah! Our Iraq Ziarat Tour on October 18th was truly wonderful and memorable. Every arrangement throughout the trip was excellent. Whether it was flight arrangements, the arrangements for the Ziarat, hotel stays, or the quality of the food and drinks, everything was handled very well. The best part was that all the pilgrims were taken great care of throughout the tour. Every need, big or small, was addressed, and everyone was provided with the best facilities. G.B. Heartfelt thanks to the entire team at GB Tours & Travels for making this spiritual journey so comfortable and memorable. May Allah grant the entire team the best reward for this and the ability to continue serving pilgrims in the same way. Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
G.B. Tours' October 2026 expedition to Iraq provided excellent accommodation and food. Hotels were located very close to each other, making the pilgrimages easy. The pilgrimages were also conducted very well during the Majlis and Matam. Overall, it was a wonderful tour, and all the pilgrimages were successfully completed. May the Maula be accepted. Many prayers and peace be upon them for all the members of the Karwan-e-Askari team. Ameen. Iltemas e dua, Javed
