Absolutely. All our tours are 100% customizable at no additional cost. You can add or remove cities, change hotels, adjust the number of days, or add special experiences like cooking classes, nomad visits, or desert camping. Just let us know your preferences.

Is Iran safe for tourists? ▼

Yes. Iran is widely regarded as one of the safest countries in the Middle East for tourists. Visitors consistently report feeling welcomed and safe. Our local guides and 24/7 support ensure you have assistance whenever needed throughout your journey.

Do I need a visa? How does the visa process work? ▼

Most nationalities need a visa authorization code, which we arrange for you as part of the tour package. The process typically takes 5–10 business days. We handle all the paperwork — you just provide a passport scan and photo. Citizens of some countries can obtain a visa on arrival.

How do I pay? Do you accept credit cards? ▼

We accept bank transfers (EUR/USD), Western Union, and cryptocurrency. Due to international sanctions, direct credit card payments to Iran are not possible. A 30% deposit secures your booking, with the remainder due 30 days before departure.

What is included in the tour price? ▼

The price includes visa authorization, all accommodation (4★ & boutique hotels), private air-conditioned transport, English-speaking local guides, daily breakfast, all entrance fees, SIM card, tourist card, and 24/7 WhatsApp/WeChat support.

Is travel insurance included? ▼

Yes. Iranian travel insurance with medical coverage is included in all tour packages over 3 days. We recommend also having your own international travel insurance for additional coverage.

What is the best time to visit Iran? ▼

Spring (March–June) and autumn (September–November) offer the most pleasant weather. However, Iran is a four-season country and each season has its charm. We recommend avoiding the Nowruz holiday (late March) when domestic tourism peaks, and the hottest summer months (July–August) for desert regions.
