Dear Intrepid World Travelers,
Magical and rich in culture, Iran is an excellent destination for your middle-eastern journey of discovery. Enjoy local delicacies and submerse yourself in the numerous beautiful museums and mosques. With our highly educated local guide by your side, you can rest assured that you will have an amazing experience to treasure for the rest of your life.
Regarding any political concerns you may ask, “Is it safe to travel to Iran?” I believe it is as safe as anywhere else in the world. My daughter took the trek, and came back astonished. She came back saying, “Ah, all the wonderful sights and sounds! The treasures held in Tehran’s museums are outstanding. Persepolis, a short drive from Shiraz, is absolutely extraordinary! Isfahan is a unique city with exquisite mosques. Iran as a whole is nothing short of breathtaking!”
I have a challenge for you! See for yourself!
You’ll be very glad you did. Like others, you’ll say it was the most amazing trip you ever took. A U.S. State Department travel warning does exist for Iran (as it has for several years). Regardless, during this time, we have safely and securely operated numerous trips to Iran. Travel warnings are often political tactics, which can be considered favorable to other forms of conflict. Call me if you have any concerns and I can gladly share some of the remarks of other past travelers.

Dear Intrepid World Traveler,
The first question you are sure to ask is, “Is it safe to travel to Iran?” I sincerely believe it is as safe as anywhere else in the world. After personally escorting several tours, the most recent in November 2007, my confidence is undiminished. It was in 1998 that on behalf of our company, my daughter made the first exploratory trip to Iran. She came back astonished, saying, “Ah, all the wonderful sights and sounds! The treasures held in Tehran’s museums are outstanding. Persepolis, a short drive from Shiraz, is absolutely extraordinary! Isfahan is a unique city with exquisite mosaic clad domes, bridges and Persian gardens. Iran as a whole is nothing short of breathtaking!”
We operated our first tour in 1999 and have had groups of all sizes since that time. Some experienced travelers are returning for a second trip. Through the years, the acceptance of Americans has, if anything, increased.
I have a challenge for you! See for yourself! Don’t let the naysayer diminish your enthusiasm. Many who say they will never go there themselves, do not have the resources, health, or most importantly, desire to make “the trip of a lifetime.” These are the exact words of one of the travelers on our November tour, and if you would like to talk with her or others who have traveled to Iran, we’ll gladly provide references. We’ll also provide links to photo albums including one very special one, by Paulette Lewis, Friendly Faces of Iran. Just ask!
A U.S. State Department travel warning exits for Iran, as it has for several years. Travel warnings are often political tactics, which can be considered much more desirable than other forms of conflict. Call me if you have any concerns. We’ll prepare you completely with briefing material on customs and regulations including attire.
Rich in culture, Iran is an excellent destination for those who would like to better understand the world and its people. With our highly educated and very personable local guide by your side, your driver and his assistant, you can rest assured that you will have an amazing experience to treasure and share with others.
