Human beings are strange creatures. On the one side, they are very sociable. If they don’t live in a group, they’ll get gloomy and out of tune. On the other side, they don’t want to lose their individuality. They build a wall to separate themselves from others and stay. On the one hand, they are always looking for good friendships and want to have relationships with others. Further on, they need their time and space to reflect on themselves alone. We might be different in the extent of these various human needs, but we all share them one way or another.
These contradictive needs are also present when we travel. We want to have conversations with others or express our feelings and emotions. Or we wish not to eat alone and share the joy of sharing authentic local food. While at the same time, we don’t want others to become a burden to us. We don’t want the responsibility. We rather keep our individuality in making decisions about our trip. We want a group that does not limit us or takes us away from the activities that connect with us most on our journey.
We’ve designed our Iran small group tours with all this in mind. We do our best to match you to a group that shares the same preferences and travel style. You’ll get to socialize with a group of tourists from different countries in the world. But also, the group is so small that you’ll get to have your own space whenever you feel the need. We wanted to make sure you can travel solo but not alone.
There is more flexibility due to the small number of people in the group (less than 10). We’ve chosen the number of people based on previous experiences. It is the magic number of people to satisfy all their needs and be happy with the services they receive. You’ll get to have enough free time and travel at your own pace while being in a group of like-minded individuals.

Deeper Experiences
You get to dive deep into the local culture and get to discover the unknowns. The small number of people in the group will allow your guide to take you to all the hidden gems. They can offer you the most attractive local experiences on these trips. You will also have more one on one time with locals and your guide. Therefore, you’ll extend your knowledge of all the places you visit on your journey.
3
Like-Minded People
You’ll get to meet other travelers that are like-minded and build valuable connections to them. These people might be different in age, nationality, beliefs, etc. but they share the common love for traveling. There are fewer people in small group tours than mass tours. Therefore, you’ll have time and space to create stronger connections to your co-travelers. You’ll get to travel to many places in your conversations while you explore Iran together.

Responsible Traveling
Due to the small number of people on small group tours, your footprint on the environment will be much less. Therefore, you travel much more responsibly. Usually, it is challenging not to negatively impact the culture of rural and native villages when a big group of people decides to travel together. We’ve designed our small group tour packages in a way that has the least amount of negative impact on the environment and the culture of each region we visit.
For Whom are the Small Group Tours Suitable?
Sociable Travelers
These Iran group tours are suitable for travelers who don’t want to be alone during their journey. Sometimes having people with whom you could share a common experience while traveling is essential. We’ll make sure to match people that have a similar mindset and preferences to you.
Budget Travelers
Sometimes people prefer to spend less money on their trip than our Iran private tours. The small group tours allow travelers with a lower budget to find a like-minded group to bring down some of the costs of traveling. Our tours price is lower than our private tours because of the fixed dates and less personal customizations.
Hassle-Free Groups
These tours are great for people who do not like to deal with all the hassles of scheduling for their trips. Some people want to live up all the responsibility of reservations and scheduling to a trustworthy, experienced agency. small group tours to Iran will allow them to travel stress-free and leave up all the responsibility to a tour agency.
What Do We Offer in Small Group Tours to Iran?
Based on our research, we’ve concluded that there are six different activity categories people enjoy while in Iran. We’ve called these categories “moments.” We’ve made sure to include all of these moments into all of our Iran escorted tours. These categories are art and architecture, history and archeology, hospitality, people and local life, nature, and religion.
We have organized the best transportation options due to the small number of people. We’ve made sure everyone has enough space and feel comfortable during our journey on the road to ensure you experience the best Iran tours. Plus, you’ll get to explore the town with the car when there are free times scheduled in your day.
Based on the number of people in your group, we’ll assign a guide or two to you. These guides have an in-depth knowledge of local life. Therefore, they’ll take you to the heart of experiencing them. Due to the small number of people, you’ll get more time with your guides compared to mass group tours, which make these packages one of the best experience of Iran travel.
We’ll provide you with all the technical support services. It will be services such as but not limited to getting an Iranian SIM card and getting Iranian credit cards or anything else you’ll need support with during your trip. Besides your guide, our chief experience officer would always be at your service to respond to all your needs in the shortest amount of time.

We found “IranAmaze” and booked Demavand und Sabalan 8-day tour and also cultural tour for 9 days. We visited Demavand, Sabalan, Ardebil, Tabris, Teheran, Kaschan, Isfahan and...

Persian Gulf tour
We had a really wonderful experience exploring the Persian gulf with Mohammad. It was our second time in Iran, first time we traveled organised but it didn’t feel fixed at all. The tour was tailored to our specific interests, flexible but still very well organised.

Caring people able to provide truly insightful experiences

Tochal & Damavand & Tehran in 6 days
I had little time and wanted to see Tehran and also climb Damavand. I was not really prepared for intense climbing so I went with the 6-day bundle.

You cannot go to Iran and miss the super amazing historical sites peppered throughout the Iranian plateau. Due to my job, I travel to the GCC countries quite often.

One of my best trips ever (Iran)
I usually just pick a destination, gather my stuff, try to arrive safe, and start exploring the place. So, these guys helped me a lot since I had no intent to wait a lot for the visa and be forced to work on that from my side. The trip included Tehran, Kashan, Esfahan (0.5×world), Shiraz,...

Great choice to connect local communities and feel the Iranian Culture
I’ve heard a lot about Muharram and Ashura because of the huge commemoration of the death of Shia’s Imam. I couldn’t find that much about tours that I can participate in and visit the commemoration. Muharram in Yazd was amazing. My tour guide Vahid explained to me all parts of the ceremony and helped me...

Besondere Erinnerungen
Als Führer einer Deutschengruppe von zwölf Personen hatte ich in Juli 2019 eine viertägige “Damavand Trekking” Tour bei IRANAMAZE gebucht. Der Tourveranstalter hatte uns über die Ablauf der Tour informiert und das war großartig, dass alles ab Abreisetag bis Rückflug detailreich ganz gut organisiert worden war. 12 Personen mit unterschiedlichem körperlichen Bereitschaft wurden mit 3...

a Unique Trip
I visited Tehran, Kashan, Esfahan, Yazd, and Shiraz on June. Before the trip, I asked the agency for having a young(same age with me) tour guide and thankfully, he was a great company on the trip.

The variety of activities in which you could participate in Iran is countless. Therefore, scheduling ahead of time is essential for you to enjoy a range of these activities. Our small group tours ensure to take all your worries away by finding the right options and the best guide for you. A knowledgeable guide who could be by your side in local communities and show you the hidden gems of Iran can make such a difference. Plus, the small number of people in the tours will ensure you’ll have more time for exploring the unknowns of this land.
Which one of your tours can I book as a small group?
For most of our Iran cultural tours, you’ll find small group tours for specific dates. Some of our packages are specialized tours like trekking and festivals, which means they’d have fewer customers. Therefore, we only organize them as Iran private tours.
How is the flexibility in these tours?
There is more flexibility as there are not as many people as mass group tours. During your small group holidays in Iran, you could speak to your guide and groupmates to choose the places you go or the restaurants in which you’ll eat. You could even change your accommodations to whatever your group prefers.
What is the daily schedule?
Our small group tours are organized in a way that you are not always running from one place to another. We want to take you to as many places as we can without compromising the quality of your experience in each site you visit. The schedule is usually set to start around 9 am and end by the evening. During the day, based on the group preferences, we are open to making changes to the schedule.
What is the maximum number of people on these trips?
The maximum number is eight people. We’ve landed on this number using our previous knowledge and experiences of organizing different tours. Ten is the number of people that is not too many to make hard on both travelers and the guide. It’s also not so little that it would take it away from being a group and meeting different kinds of people.
How are the prices?
These tour packages are cheaper than our private tours. What makes them more affordable is that there are more people in the groups, and the cost of many things is divided between them. These tours usually cost around 70-90 euros/day. Plus, Iran is a cheap destination for traveling. The cost of these tour packages is comparable to you traveling on your own without a tour. Moreover, you’ll have no worries about scheduling this way.
When would I meet my guide?
The driver will pick you up from the airport and drop you off at your hotel. You’ll have some time to rest before our guide picks you up to start the 1st day of your journey.
What do I need to know about the visa process?
The process of getting a visa is short. It is straight forward for most countries besides several specific ones such as the United States, England, and Canada. You’ll get your visa approximately in 2 weeks. If you choose to book a tour package with us, we won’t charge you additional charges for the visa reference code as it is included in our services. If you are from those specific countries, then you can visit our Iran visa page list to see the process for the visa as it will be different and longer.
How have you chosen the hotels?
Our packages usually include the best 4-stars hotels. You can change them to 5 or 3-stars hotels based on your budget and preferences as well. Also, please inform us if you have any specific needs related to accommodations. Moreover, you could let us know if you’ve found a suitable hotel that you’d like us to book for you instead of our current options.
Do we have a choice in choosing our hotel room?
You’ll have the option to choose between single, double, or twin rooms. Usually, the price of a single room is slightly higher.
How is the food in these tours?
Our Iran small group tour packages don’t include meals. The reason is that we want to leave it up to you to choose from our recommendations based on your taste preferences and budget. We don’t want to take you somewhere that you’d spend more money than you intend to on food or not like the kind of food they serve. Our guides will recommend the best options for you, whether you are a vegetarian or have any other food restrictions at all.
Are the tours guaranteed departure?
Yes, all the dates in which we offer a tour package for our small group tours are guaranteed. There is no need for us to fill these tours to execute them. You can book them with the peace of mind that with however many people that sign up for those dates, we’ll be executing the tours.
It’s a common rule that locals know the best, latest or the most hidden in a new town. Let’s read about the reasons why to choose a local tour operator in...
