“Excellent itinerary, amazing desert scenery, fascinating architecture. We were a group of three and were fortunate to have Ali Reza as our driver/guide. He was well informed, good humored and provided a wonderful youthful outlook and perspective on Iran today. The past empires of Pasargad and Persepolis were memorable, Isfahan, Shiraz and Yazd the desert city unmissable and to finish off a much better understanding of a modern Islamic republic. If you have time get to Tehran a few days early and go wandering through the beautiful grounds of what was the "Shah of Iran's" palace complex then go to the Holy Defence Museum the next day for a different perspective.”
