4. Are these “educational” tours?

Yes, in the broadest sense of the word, “educational”. We visit museums and local

villages. We also have talks and discussions on many aspects of Iranian history and

culture, but this is only one aspect of what we do. We believe that it is equally

educational to meet new people on a non-commercial basis, visit their homes and even

try to learn a few words in the native language. Sometimes the most “educational”

moments are spent having a cold drink with locals in a street market.

to sell the quality reasonably in a direct way. Thanks to travel, tour and immigration that

occurred to our friends and they have moved to explore new horizons. It is also going to be

done in opposite way for our team. It means we are to help eagerly those others for exploring

Iran, the country of 5000 B.C. till now. Formerly called Persia and now is called Iran, its people,

Iranians formerly called Persian, are considered if not the most but one of the most hospitable

hosts in the world. We offer active, off-the-beaten-path, lecturer, happy and heritage small and

big group adventures and cultural tours through the ancient large country of Persia. Our

knowledge of tourism, our almost comprehensive information about history, architecture,

nature, costumes are strengthened by the experience we have taken during many years. Iran is

the country of beneath the mystery, beyond the history; and with us you excavate these cultural

layers. We do is more than what we say.

We invite you to browse through our website, take our catalogues or give our people in your

country a call. A real person will always answer not during business hours, rather any time. We

strongly believe that quality is not expensive and we have proven it. Our team is ready to prove

it again and again.

We highly believe looking at people as “tourists” have passed away. Our view is “the tourist” in

order to meet your expectations. We willingly invite you to travel with our groups and enjoy

your journey.

Last, since tourism is for fraternity between nations, we would like to declare that we are exactly

ordinary people who run their own business independently. A group of tourism educated people

who receive no support from any organization. We glory in peoples` support. We would let you

know that we support those students who need to be supported.

We hope you can join “Iran Heritage Tours” on one of our group adventures for travelers
