Majid Tasolorafa

The best way to see Iran is with Majid. We had a fantastic 5 days touring the sites of Shiraz and Isfahan and took in the ancient city of Persepolis. Iran is truly amazing and although Majid is an eco-guide, he is equally at home explaining the complex history of this fascinating country. He is also so well-connected, that he brought a special friend to come with us around Persepolis, who turned out to be one of the site’s archaeologists! I loved the bazaars and managed to buy lots of lovely things unique to Iran, including jewellery. The palaces, gardens and mosques were also fascinating. Originally we planned to go to Tehran, but we decided instead to go into the desert west of Isfahan, a real contrast to the city. We ended the day watching the sunset over the sand dunes. Majid makes Iran an easy place to visit. He is a lovely guy, competent and knowledgeable – what more could you want?
