“Guide Seyed ali mohammad hosseini For President!”
An amazing country and an even more amazing
guide. We are two americans who scheduled a private tour for 10 days. We
were apprehensive at first, as we are quite independent travelers and
have never used a guide or service before. That quickly changed when we
met, Ali Mohammad Hosseini. We started off as tourists and guide but
left close friends. Ali seemingly knew everyone, everywhere we went.
Even off the beaten path tea shops that we chose. Ali was more than
happy to answer every one of our questions about modern life in Iran.
Translated every sign we pointed out. Was perhaps the only guide in the
history of tourism to keep the shops owners and sales people at bay.
When we wanted to go to a popular restaurant for lunch, Ali knew one of
the managers and we were able to skip the long queue. We were like VIPs
at all times.
Having visited 40+ countries, Iran was our
favorite. The people were so kind and generous. If you are considering
visiting, I cant recommend Iran enough. It's really special. Mahnaz
handled all of our logistics in the office. No issues with the visa
process. She was a great help with planning.
I'll leave it at
this : About three days into our trip, we started planning our return
back in March. We can't wait to be united with Ali again!
