Debating between doing a tour to either Iraq or Syria this October and I'm struggling on which one to pick. I plan to do both eventually, but will definitely do one of them in October.

I plan do do a private tour with a guide and driver in both locations.

For those of you that have been to either or both countries recently, would you recommend one over the other to do first?

What did you like the most about either country? What did you dislike?
