I found your travel agency through a web search for tours in Iran and contacted several local agents regarding a private tour for two persons. "Peyman" was quick to respond and seemed to have a better understanding of what we were trying to have than the other companies, and the price was much better. Peyman put together a short sightseeing itinerary adding up a bit of adventure including trekking and deserts which was run at our own pace (I like to stop a lot for photos). This 7-day Iran trip was an outstanding one, especially with "Mehdi" our experienced tour guide, he was warm and welcoming and had a great sense of humor ... Highly recommended! Less

I enjoyed this absolutely fabulous trip just as places are opening up post-Covid. I felt very comfortable with the regulations in Iran, especially since we were all vaccinated. The sightseeing was better than I ever expected and the people were so friendly and welcoming. Majid and Ramtin were the very best guides! Less
