    I was a little bit excited about the trip and before going to Iran. It was nice that I could ask Sahar about everything before taking my trip. We enjoyed the trip a lot! And the accommodations were very nice! As well as our program! It was safe and secure. Whenever someone had a question Sahar was there for us and helped a lot.
