Reviews for Iran in depth tour, 2 weeks
Philip Hunt review 27 May 2024
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The history of Iran - it is ancient Persia, a culture over 7,000 years old. The beauty of many of the city squares, monuments and mosques. The joy that Iranians take from their many beautifully -maintained palace gardens.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Travel with sensitivity to a different culture. Be courteous - the locals are, and deserve it in turn. Observe the rules and customs in country - especially in and around the mosques. Be patient when dealing with officialdom - many Iranians are as annoyed by officials and regulations as you are. A smile works wonders! And don't try and lose weight - the cuisine is too good!3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. Certainly it benefits cross-cultural understanding, something much needed in a country that suffers from such a bad press. The people of Iran are wonderful! Inbound travel also benefits the economy - in a country desperate to increase tourism.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
One of the best holidays I have ever taken! Interesting, enlightening and endlessly fascinating.Holiday Reviews
