Trip Overview

There can be few countries about which so little is known as Iran, but its old name of Persia conjures up images of opulent buildings, lavish gardens, and magnificent ancient sights. We journey to the heart of the country, visiting all the highlights and many less well known sights as well. But for most travellers the most rewarding aspect of the trip will be the incredibly friendly Iranian people who greet foreigners with a warmth that is seldom found anywhere else in the world .
If you love the whole concept of travel. Getting there is as much fun as being there and you love using public transport, local restaurants and small family run hotels where you get the best chance to really get under the skin of a destination. You love the sometimes tough but ultimately rewarding nature of adventure travel and you love spending more time enjoying every experience rather than wasting time on travel arrangements.
