The Silk Road

My husband and I (2 US citizens) toured IRAN for 21 days with Uppersia for our honeymoon. LP recommended Uppersia, and it did not disappoint! We were met at the Tehran airport by our tour guide Seyed ali Mohammad Hosseini. One other tourist joined our tour, James from Britain. Ali was the best tour guide ever. He was knowledgeable and professional yet quickly became our friend and made our small group feel like friends or family vacationing together. He took care of every detail. Our bags missed the connection from Amsterdam to Istanbul and again on our return home, and he made the calls and tracked them down. The Uppersia tour was wonderful, hitting the most fascinating cities and sites. We visited Tabriz, Kandovan, Zanjan, Esfahan, Shiraz, Persepolis, Kerman, Yazd, Zein-o-din, Mashhad, and Tehran. Again, Ali was great suggesting what food to order, helping with shopping, fitting in extra sites as time allowed. All transportation and accommodations were included, some were extraordinary like the 400 year old Zein-o-din Caravanserai and the BB Traditional Hotel in Shiraz, as well as the overnight train from Mashhad to Tehran. Without a doubt it was the most wonderful vacation, the best place for a honeymoon, the friendliest people on the planet including Ali, and Uppersia put together a great tour. I would definitely reserve with Uppersia and our friend Ali again.

“Fantastic trip with Uppersia”

Fantastic trip with Uppersia

We had an outstanding 14 day tour of Iran thanks to the coordination of Uppersia (Pazira Travel) and especially our amazing guide, Seyed ali mohammed hosseini. Our contact at Uppersia was Mahnaz and we really appreciated her efficiency and quick responses in organising the Iran Live Tour for the two of us. We loved the hospitality of beautiful Iran and its people and marvelled at the history of places like Isfahan, Yazd and Kerman as well as Persepolis. Our trip was much more meaningful thanks to our brilliant guide, Ali. His knowledge and passion for all things Iran/Persian was inspiring and he went out of his way to give us a real Iran experience. He was the consummate professional and lots of fun. Thanks Uppersia and Ali !!

Beautiful Country with Great Hospitality

Beautiful Country with Great Hospitality

 I did the 8 day budget tour in August and it was incredible! The weather was very hot, highs of 39 everyday, but with the extremely low humidity it's bearable, coming from a Canadian. We usually took the afternoons, about 2-5 to camp out in the shade and relax a bit.

 My guide Seyed Ali Mohammad Hosseini was ridiculously informative, he's got the entire encyclopedia of Iran's history memorized. 

I was supposed to be on a group tour but the other members canceled so they ran the tour as a private one for me. I can honestly say I saw everything I wanted to see in the places we went. Iran is an incredible country, the people were the friendliest I've encountered anywhere and the architecture is maybe the best in the world.

I will mention, the budget tour involves a lot of time on busses, the distances in Iran are quite large. For me and my budget that was necessary to see everything I wanted to see but if you can afford the 14 day tour I'd reccomend that one instead to space out the travel days.
