“Fantastic tour with incredible guide”
UpPersia were absolutely amazing! All the pre-planning was well organized and communication was timely and on point. We very rarely take tours but had too since we were traveling on US passports. We had nothing to worry about though since our guide Ali made it feel like we were traveling with a really great friend! Ali was laid back and extremely informative. He made sure that everything ran smoothly but always made sure we had lots of free time and wasn't crowding us. Hanging out with his family in Shiraz was one of the highlights of the trip. We did the three week backpacker trip and although in hind sight we would have changed the itinerary a little bit, the whole trip was thrilling and full of interest. Our highlights were Shiraz, Yazd, Ateshooni GH in Garmeh, Persepolis, Zeinoddin caravanserai, and Rayen. Tabriz and Mashhad were certainly interesting but we were not so keen! It would have been nice to trek in Golestan or in the Assassin's castles. Overall though...great trip!
