Iran - no visa without a guide for British passport holders
It seems that as a British citizen you cannot even obtain a visa without booking onto an organised tour with a guide who you must be with throughout your entire journey through Iran. This is if you take your own vehicle or not. Your visa will not be considered without the tour booking.
I am interested to hear if any British, Canadian or Americans have been through Iran in the past year and who you used for your guide, costs and recommendations. I've tried searing the HUBB and the internet but am struggling to find any recent info from people who have needed a guide. Maybe this is because Brits aren't going through Iran now because of this?
My wife and I are really looking forward to visiting Iran but the thought of having to spend every minute of the trip with a guide on an organised tour takes the spontaneity of the trip away. Not to mention the additional cost.
We are looking to go later this year and appreciate any feedback from people who have been recently
