An amazing experience getting lost between the great history of Persepolis. But before getting there, we visited the Pasargad which is a nice hotel with good views. A part from the Cirus’ tomb and Nagarshe-rostam and Nagarshe-rajad. We recommend the trip 100% as it worths the views and the you save time.

Mostafa is the best. Accurate and laid back driving, very nice conversations and you are always in contact with the local people when you are on tour with him. Very good recent knowledge about the surrounding of yazd, good English. High recommendation:)
Lodovico from Italy –
Great tour to save time and in great comfort. Abbas never put me in a hurry and I was able to visit Padagarde and Persepoli quietly, as well as other intermediate sites. Reccomended.

Abbas is a great man, great driver and great host. Traveling with him is the best way to discover the country. We had a wonderful time in Iran with him.

It was very great trip to ancient places. I was so impressed and our group from Kazakhstan and Russia as well. First of all comfy car and very caring guide Mustafa. Many thanks for great welcoming to Iran.

for our group of eight women, Mustafa became an older brother. He sincerely cared for any little thing: he stocked up fruits, hot tea, stopped on the way on demand (do you understand what it means for women on demand?) In October, Mustafa found a pink lake for us. In fact, he not only fulfilled our whims, but also anticipated them. In less than two days we managed to see Persepolis, the tower of silence, the temple of fire,… … I can confidently say for our entire group that Mustafa has done more for us than we expected from him. There would be more sincere people who love what they do.
