Great experience overall
I recently took a 12 day tour of Iran and overall the experience was a good one. My guide was Seyed Ali Mohammad Hosseini, and he was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. He was a big help in making the trip as smooth as possible and did more than he needed to in order to make the trip memorable. He will become a good friend by the end of the trip.

It's not very easy to get into Iran as an American, so the opportunity to visit is quite special and I'd recommend anyone reading this to give it a try. Another benefit of having a guide even if you don't require one is the knowledge of the currency situation and navigating a country that is more difficult than others.

Perhaps the only critique I would have is that we had more "down time" than I expected. Some days the program was quite short. It felt like a 9 or 10 day tour built into a 12 day tour. However for some people this maybe desirable since Iran can be very hot and resting is important. So just talk to the company and inquire about your specific desires, everyone is different and wants different things.

To sum things up, this is a good company and if you get Ali, he will give you knowledge of Iran that you can't get easily from the outside.
