"Wasn't that simply the most magnificent trip? Thank God for men like you!"

Carlton Roos - Seattle, WA

"We met nothing but smiles and welcoming generosity. We were surrounded wherever we went by happy school kids and college students proud to practice their English, asking to have their photos taken with us, and curious to hear what we thought of their country. The older adults were eager to tell us how happy they were to see us visiting from the US. We received gleeful waves and "hellos" from motorbikes that passed us and shy waves of greeting as eyes met in parks and on the street. We were awestruck by the fabulous 2,500 years of treasures built to celebrate the Persian nation and culture."

Anne Roos - Nashville, TN

Iran, a land of ancient culture and modernity, a land of many contradictions. This country so foreign, and often scary, to us westerners opened itself up to us in all its glory, the people welcoming us like we were honored guests.  Your planning was impeccable. The days were crammed with new experiences, cultural, interpersonal and culinary, yet I never felt rushed or overwhelmed.  The lodgings were comfortable and the food was excellent. Special kudos go to our local guide Mahmoud, who seemed to possess unlimited knowledge about his beloved country and never failed to answer our questions. I know I speak for us all when I say that you made us feel so very cared for. Thank you Abdi!
