The Best!

Reviewed March 6, 2019

I'm excited to write this review because of the quick and efficient service provided from the start. 

I had an exceptional short trip to Iran on November 2018. I was fortunate to get Ali as my tourist guide for this trip. The two of us spent 2 days in Shiraz, 2 days in Yazd, 2 days in Isfahan and 2 days in Tehran. There was a structured itinerary to hit the main points each days, but because it was just two of us we were able to have flexibility and add several other items. 

I was treated very well by everyone we met. I was surprised by the hospitality and graciousness displayed by everyone. I never felt unsafe, except when riding in cabs flying around the streets of Tehran. There are few tourists as this country is still new to many travelers. You really have the experience of being with the local people and not trapped in a tourist infrastructure that tells you what to do and what to see. 

This trip is included a lot of walking and Iran is not disabled friendly. British can't travel without a guide and approves itinerary, but Ali made the country come alive in a way what I wouldn't have experienced if I traveled alone. 

Now that I have been, I am considering another trip with Ali to see other parts of Iran that I missed.

An absorbing trip to Iran is dependent on an excellent guide

Reviewed February 24, 2019

Just returned from a terrific trip to Iran. How fortunate were we when met by Ali our driver guide at the Tehran airport. We spent the next 2 weeks together touring Iran. Ali was very knowledgeable and was eager to share that knowledge of his beautiful country with us. He drives really safe. We wanted to see as much of the country as possible and Ali always made that happen. I highly recommend Ali if you are planning a trip to Iran. Ali was a true and perfect embassador of beautiful persia. He made this trip perfect.

Iran, meravigliosa scoperta!

Reviewed February 21, 2019

Ho saputo di Ali da un'amica di Bolgna che ha visitato l'Iran l'anno scorso e subito l'ho contattato.

Il viaggio in Iran era un sogno che avevo nel cuore dalla mia laurea...

Gentilissimo e disponibilissimo, ha organizzato per me e mio marito un viaggio "su misura", occupandosi prima di tutto della richiesta del visto con l'invio della Lettera d'Invito, che semplifica moltissimo le procedure per ottenere il visto.

Noi richiedevamo l'itinerario classico con l'autista guida parlante italiano.

Ci siamo sentiti a casa e sempre accompagnati da Alireza, un ragazzo iraniano molto simpatico e molto preparato che ci ha guidati in un tour a dir poco meraviglioso e ogni giorno sempre più sorprendente, per i luoghi, per l'accoglienza della gente iraniana, per il cibo...

L'Iran è un paese molto grande e il tour dell'altopiano iranico è solo uno dei tour proposti dall'agenzia di Ali che io consiglio assolutamente di contattare a chiunque voglia scoprire questo paese meraviglioso.

Noi ci siamo sentiti come in visita ad un amico di un paese lontano....abbiamo condiviso tanti momenti indimenticabili...dai pranzi alle passeggiate in luoghi autentici che sicuramente da soli non saremmo stati in grado di vedere.

L'Iran è un paese assolutamente tranquillo e ricchissimo di storia, patrimoni UNESCO, meravigliose città piene di verde e splendide architetture...

è un viaggio da non perdere e sopratutto vi consiglio di programmarlo con l'aiuto di Shahram che vi accompagnerà già prima di essere in Iran...

Noi speriamo di cuore di poter tornare un giorno!

Grazie di cuore a te Ali, che hai reso possibile il mio sogno e grazie infinite e di cuore ad Alireza che, come un amico di vecchia data, ci ha fatto sentire sempre a casa.

Merci, kho daa haa fez!

Well organized tour and the most knowledgeable guide

Reviewed February 15, 2019

Me and my partner traveled to Iran for 10 days. We asked Ali from a friend, after contacting with him for an itinerary, he answered really propmt and he wrote very good itinerary according to our interests. Every question was answered to my satisfaction by him. But nothing could have prepared us for what Ali had to offer as a tour guide. He was beyond excellent. 

After we arrived Iran Ali took us to lots of places and cities with his car. His car was comfortable and he drives very safe. 

The tour itself was very well planned and flexible enough to suit our requirements. Also Ali was very warm, hospitable, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and reliable. 

Iran itself is a beautiful country with a lot of experience and very warm and friendly people and if you looking for tour here I would suggest Ali to all.

Warm, knowledgeable, enthusiastic

Reviewed December 29, 2018

Ali is warm, energetic and enthusiastic. He speaks excellent English, and has a deep knowledge and love of his country. Moreover, he could answer and explain the very obscure questions I asked him about history, language and culture, among other things. He was also flexible in suggesting and including sites not specifically mentioned in our itinerary when they were on the route, so we saw and appreciated places we might not have seen otherwise. I had wanted to visit Iran for 25 years, some places in particular. Ali understood the importance of these unusual sites to me, and kindly gave me plenty of time to absorb their atmosphere, although it sometimes meant a long day’s drive for him. He is an excellent driver and I felt safe with him. I can't recommend Ali highly enough!

Iran is a truly magnificent country of superb landscapes, ancient history, splendid architecture and especially its welcoming people. Ali is the embodiment of my deep experience of Iran, the journey of my lifetime.
