Seven Day Desert Tour

I traveled to Iran by myself not really knowing what to expect. I couldn’t be happier with how the tour turned out! The IranAmaze team were able to help me out at each step of my trip planning, especially regarding the changing visa/covid rules at the time. Due to the pandemic there weren’t many foreigners in the country at the time. So on the group tour there were four Iranians including the tour guide, and myself. Everyone spoke English and I had a great time. The Iranian culture is easily the friendliest I’ve ever experienced.

It was great spending a week getting out of the cities and seeing the amazing landscape which is unique to the country. Super chill. The food was also amazing.

Special thanks to Banafshe for hosting a great tour!

Trip to nature and cultural sites of Iran

I went to Iran with my German girlfriend. We were a bit nervous how the trip to Iran would be, so we decided to travel by a tour. 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 Schiraz. We started our trip with climbing Demavand mountain. Our guide was super professional and provided us with nice information about Iran. I faced a problem in the mountain, but the organization team kindly helped me to solve it.
We visited also Sabalan which is another beautiful mountain in the north Iran. After Sabalan we visited a hot spring in Ardebil and it was a really cool experience. Also the variety of the weather and big changes between cities was interesting. While we were freezing in Tabris, the next day we experienced a sunny day in Isfahan.
In Summery, we were quite satisfied with the quality of the tour. The details of our plan were set very well and we were feeling safe and were not worried about anything. They helped us from the first minute after arrival by currency exchange (also helped us to take local debit card as the international cards do not work in Iran), buying local simcard, and providing mobile Internet. Their price is also good comparing to the other websites I checked and also the provided services

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. Iran. I faced a problem in the mountain, but the organization team kindly helped me to solve it.

Caring people able to provide truly insightful experiences

While travelling independently in Iran a couple of years ago, my husband and I were fortunate to meet Mohammad G and Navid as part of a minitour we took into the Zagros mountains. It was the early days of their tourism operations but it was quickly evident that their interpersonal skills with local people and with us as English language visitors was going to make this special. They facilitated wonderful experiences in the natural environment, and ensured respectful and fascinating interactions with local people.
Highly recommended.

Northwest of Iran and a taste of Qeshm and Hormoz Islands in 15 days!

It was my second time visiting Iran, and my friends and I wanted to hit new places as much as we can. Iran has many locations to visit and it was a head scratcher to pick some. We ended up using the tailor made tour tool to pick a few places and IranAmaze planned an exciting package for us. Since we wanted to visit two islands in the south and some places in the northwest of Iran, they left some days to brake and rest. We had two amazing guides, Ali for the northwest and Rozhin for the south Islands. They knew areas very well and were fun to hang out. We had a nice and well-proportioned tour that covered both nature and history. Hormoz was my favourite, gorgeous and so peaceful. And the answer you are probably looking for: YES, Iran is safe and even safer than some places in Canada (Winnipeg’s downtown!)

In terms of general trip services, It was a bit tough to get Iranian visa, but they managed to get it for us (long story!). Transportation was fine but not the best. They gave each of us an Iranian credit card and a portable Wifi router that always worked fine without any hiccups. They provided us with whatever that was promised and a few neat surprises!

Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Iran, and would definitely consider booking our next tours with IranAmaze. Recommended!

Cultural & trekking trip to Iran

I wasn’t very familiar with Iran prior to my trip so I was grateful that the tour helped me choose my destinations based on my preferences. The staff were extremely communicative and helpful before and throughout the trip which made the whole process very convenient. I was a little afraid that the visa process would be troublesome at first but it turned out to be breeze since the tour handled pretty much all of it.

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.
Saeid, our guide, was extremely professional and never let me give up from hitting the peak.
Communication via email and WhatsApp worked well. The website was easy to use and they provided pre-booking consultation. The payment also went smoothly.
And, although I was a bit afraid before arriving in Iran, I felt completely safe.
I recommend this group to those who are interested in mountaineering in Iran.

An Unpralleled Voyage: Best tour for cultural heritage and historical sites

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. This time, however, I had this rare chance to visit Iran. I thought it’s the best opportunity to visit some ancient cities of the legendary “Empire of Mind”. So, I extended my trip and took a seven-day tour to Perspolis in Shiraz, which also included Isfahan, Kashan, and Tehran where we started the trip from.
The tour guides were incredibly helpful in many ways. They were so mindful of both the safety and comfort of the vehicles. The hotels they had booked made a balance between Persian-Islamic architecture and luxurious hoteling services. They planned the tour in a thoughtful way to balance history with nature. We had an awesome relaxing night in Maranjab desert around Kashan.
The tour was in charge of all paperwork including the visa application process and local banking cards and so on. I never faced any difficulty in the entire trip and just enjoyed the hospitality of Iranians and delicious Persian culinary.

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, and also two lovely islands in the south part, Qeshm and Kish.
One point I liked about these guys was that it was important for them to keep the trip as adventurous as possible. They had the general plan in mind but not the detailed one which makes the journey perfect for me.They also had some very interesting memories in mind to tell which made the long distances relatively short for me.
Iran is really a very different country. Its people, its landscapes, its culture, everything is very different to what you have seen so far.

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 to understand it better and find out the connections between their acts and beliefs.
Although I’ve heard that it would be very hard to get the Iranian visa, IranAmaze staffs did their job perfectly and got it with no problem. The communication was pretty straight forward and they were welcoming, responsible and professional.
If you are interested to visit local people and have an understanding of Iranian culture I’ll surely recommend them to you.

Excellent choice to see Iran

A friend of mine who’s an avid traveller recommended them and they didn’t disappoint. We were two couples visited Iran in October 2019. The most important thing for us was the logistics of our trip to Iran. They took care of them all including Visa, local credit card, local telephone sim card and reliable internet for the whole trip (really important to us).
We booked their “tailored cultural” tour for 18 days and visited Tehran, Ghazvin, Rasht, Tabriz, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Qeshm & Hormoz Islands. We did ask for a women tour guide and they provided. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and super friendly. We stayed at the local people’s house and had dinner with them a few times which was a great experience and lots of fun.

Eating with locals

I was on a business trip in Tehran and wanted to try out something different in my limited time. A friend recommended a street food tour with this group. I was curious because when I’m on travel, I normally look up for hours to find a nice place to eat and leaving that to someone not familiar with me was kind of a risky decision. We met in front of their office in central Tehran, I was presented with a few options and selected the most traditional one. Ali (the guide) suggested to walk to the restaurant which I think was a wise decision. Enroute we had a great chat about the culture and daily life in Tehran and it was very informative.
The restaurant was small and crowded, but the atmosphere was so genius!!!
Lots of peapole were waiting outside but thanks to Iranamaze, Our table was ready and waiting for us. While eating (which by the way was just amazing!!!) Ali explained the history of that place and gave me some usefull information about how traditional persian cuisine has shaped the culture over thousands of years. On the way back, he showed me some intresting insiders like a car mechanic arguing with his client or how things are handled on a construction site.
I recommend Iranamaze to everyone who wants to get a closer look at Iran and the people in there.

Best way to visit Iran

Traveling to Iran was an enriching journey through the deeply cultural cities of Tehran, Shiraz, Yazd and Isfahan, not to mention the hidden beauties and scenic trekking routes of the mountains.
Thank you all for an unforgettable experience perfectly tailored to my preferences! As a woman traveling alone I felt deeply safe and welcomed. Highly recommendable!

Second journey to multicolored Iran

It was our second trip to Iran. So we selected the last time’s missed targets as the new ones consciously: Tehran, Tabriz, Kashan, Rasht, and Ardebil. After putting our heads together, we found the “IranAmaze” to arrange our trip with respect to our budget. It was effectively helpful especially their new attractive packages. beyond our expectations.
The best part of the story was the hospitality of the lovely family in Tehran for a night with their delicious Iranian meal called “Ghorme sabzi”. It really hit the spot.

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 Guids und vorbereitenden Instrumente, die für jede geeignet war, ganz richtig geleitet wurden, damit wir alle richtig gut besteigen konnten.
BierkrugSchade! Aber Dank der Planung waren Nahrungsmittel, Aufenthaltsort und Transport alles in Ordnung….

Wir erinnern uns immer daran mit ausgezeichneten Erinnerungen…

Viel Erfolg “IRANAMAZE”

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.
I am really interested in different cultures and religions and that was the main motivation for this trip and I addressed it with IranAmaze.
The company is reliable and they handle the whole process even insurance at a good price. There was a bit of a problem with visits scheduling, but not a big deal.
They helped me to get the visa considering that is a challenging process for a British person.
Overall, I suggest IranAmaze to everyone who wants to visit Iran.
