    Although the services provided were good, the itinerary wasn’t in my appetite. The weather kept raining. We should have listened to Sima and take the tour in another season!

    We had a great time in Iran. The trip itinerary was designed in a way that allowed us to see the authentic Iran. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to many places we would not have known about on our own!
