Iran tour guide

Having thought that we had Iran sewn up for a 20 day crossing in our camper from Turkmenistan to Turkey in November I now cannot get any response from the agency to emails

We have UK passports so cannot travel independently.

Anyone have suggestions for a relatively economic and reliable agency? We were using www.irantravelingcenter.com

Andy

Hi Andy,
Try Reza at Up Persia info@uppersia.com
or Aliye at Key2Persia: info@key2persia.com.

Also Mitra is very helpful, but they are more expensive: mitra.irantravelingcenter@gmail.com

It was the end if Ranadan this week and 4 days if holiday, maybe that's why you got no reply.

I'm afraid you do need a guide: I guess Bartosz isn't British, which is why he was fine.

If you want/can change your timing, you can join us in mid September :-)
Otherwise, hope you get sorted!

Helen

Thanks Bartosz and Helen.

I'm waiting for Aliye at Key2Persia to get back to me and will also try Reza at Up Persia.

Hi

Yes, I'm Polish. I have no problem with travel in Iran.
I see that many of you have problems and have to pay much of money.
I have an idea of free travel in Iran.
If somebody want to talk about it I will be in London from 7 to 10 August.
Please contact me from my web site.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
