Ali is warm, energetic and enthusiastic. He speaks fluent 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.

Roya is warm, wise and knowledgeable. She speaks English well and is a skilful driver. She was passionate and well informed about the places that she guided us around, as well as some I visited without a guide. She took special note of our interests and suggested places that we might find worthwhile and enjoyable to visit. She also contacted local people in my areas of interest for more information and to answer queries that she and Ali weren’t sure about. Her very personalised, warm-hearted service went above and beyond the call of duty.
Iran is a truly magnificent country of superb landscapes, ancient history, splendid architecture and especially its welcoming people. Roya and Ali are the embodiment of my deep experience of Iran, the journey of my lifetime.
