Transport and guides
Afghan Logistics and Tours (93-799-391-462 or 92-70-479-435) provides good cars and drivers who speak some English for US$40 to US$50 a day within Kabul, more if you're traveling outside of town. The service is reliable and the drivers invariably pleasant.
For guided tours of the city and the rest of Afghanistan, the Great Game Travel Company Afghanistan (93-799-489-120; www.greatgametravel.com) is the place to go. The co-founders and co-owners, Andre Mann and Jonathan Bean, have a fleet of four-wheel-drive vehicles and a staff of well-informed English-speaking guides and security advisers. A day tour of Kabul runs to about US$100. It also offers a variety of other tours, including a week-long trek through the Pamir Mountains and a trip by vehicle to Bamiyan, Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif.
