We are a group of friends from Vietnam, visiting Iran on a 10-day private classic tour covering Shiraz, Yazd, Isfahan, Kashan and Tehran. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the trip. Absolutely stunning architecture, steeped culture, glorious history, and overwhelmingly friendly people - all in all, it's an amazing country. We wish we could stay longer. And we already decided to come back next year for a second visit!
SURFIRAN is a very professional travel agency that we have no hesitation to recommend. They respond to our inquiry very quickly, they advise us on the itinerary. They provide us with all the information we need. Our local guide Rasoul Jalalodini is very knowledgeable and caring. Thank you SURFIRAN and Rasoul for making our trip the most memorable experience we've ever had.

Wonderful trip. Great, well thought out itinerary and Kourosh was a brilliant guide - knowledgeable, funny, passionate about his country and his job and keen to make sure our days were full of great experiences. Surfiran were well organised, responsive, kept in touch and tweaked the itinerary where necessary providing a smooth, hassle-free experience.

I am a compulsive tour planner. Surfiran worked with me patiently and helpfully as we finalised a 17 day customised itinerary for our group (2 couples).
The logistics of our tour, right from obtaining our visas to leaving at the end of our tour, were faultless.
I've been lucky enough to have traveled a lot and experienced a lot of good guides. Our tour guide (Mehdi Ali) was the best I've ever had. He was very knowledgeable about the historic sights but also good restaurants (up market and casual), street food and cafes. He also read our levels of interest and tiredness well and paced the tour accordingly. He has perfect English and a great sense of humor. We were in Iran when the protests were on, Mehdi used his extensive network of contacts to keep current with the situation and keep us away from problem areas.
Ask for Mehdi!!
Our driver Masoud was also very safe, friendly and considerate.
Just a couple of tips: stay in the Kasian traditional hotel in Kashan, it's beautiful and do the meal / cooking lesson with the Iranian family in Shiraz - it's a lot of fun and a nice way to learn about Iranian food.
I very highly recommend Surfiran.

Wonderful time in Iran. SURFIRAN was a very professional and well run company that had anticipated our needs, planned our trip to be complete, educating and fun. Our guide was so organized and efficient, it was a real pleasure. I can't say enough good things about our guide and the company. I am returning back to Iran in a few months because it was so great! I will be travelling with SURFIRAN and the same guide as before. I can't wait!!

Surfiran has been organising my visits and meetings in Iran since 2017. Last November I went back to Iran and they worked out all that was needed for me to join an expedition to the desert. Thanks to their professional organisation and quick and clear communication everything went very well. Thanks to Surfiran I have met such wonderful people that helped me out, showed me around and made me feel so welcome. I highly recommend Surfiran.
Special thank you to Mehdi Eshraghi for always taking such good care of the details!

We had the most amazing experience, everything was just so perfect!
Since the very first contact, Mehdi from Surfiran has been so thoughful, professional and helful. His contact made the difference, and gave us the trust we needed to.
Our trip was amazing, and it was clear how much effort the agency has put in to it. Our guide Mehdi Ali was another highlight from our trip - he is so well educated and taught so much, we couldn´t be happier !
The itinerary was amazing, with a great suggestion of changing one of our previous request to go to Lutz Desert instead. Another hit, since it has become one of the favorite experiences of all.
The truth is that Iran is one of the most special and magnifique countries. And to choose it as our honeymoon spot, all organized by Surfiran, made it even more special and unforgetable.
We will definitely recommend it!

wow, it was amazing we tweaked the tour to suit and Surfiran were so obligating, and even when on the ground in Tabriz our wonderful Medhi Ali suggested a place we took out , so we added it back in he was fantastic, we felt very safe with him. I can't speak more highly of Medhi, he was able to figure out our what we liked and what we needed to just brush over. The history, architecture, people blew us away, favourite hotel was definitely the Kasian Traditional Hotel, place well there are too many to mention. Autumn was great to travel as it is cooling down, well some of the time but the fruit and veggies especially the pomegranates of the pomegranates.... Mehdi r our driver was only to happy to stop to grab some or grapes or whatever as we drove thru the country. Even managing to get caught up in the first protest, our mistake not Medhi's we can't speak more highly of the Iranian people, polite, friendly and so obligingly happy to assist. Coffee, well some of the best I've had and so cheap - so put Iran on that bucket list of must visits and Surfiran as the travel company and Mehdi as your guide. Louise

I went to Iran with Surfiran in October and had a unique experience. Before going I often texted Paria Pourmehdi who gently and promptly answered all my questions .Our guide Mohammad was very knowledgeable ,flexible and did his very best to provide us with a unique experience. .Our driver Mr Abavi was very gentle and drove safely ,always in a good mood .
The best part for me was the friendliness and hospitality of the Iranians . I felt very safe and realized how the media gives us a wrong image of the country and doesnt’t show us the beauty and
awesome mosques , gardens and palaces.
If you are interested in history and ancient cultures you should visit Iran .

I booked the 9 day cultural tour plus an extra day; Mehdi was a great help navigating the visa application process and answered all of my questions. I had no issues on the trip, and was very happy with my overall experience. My tour guides were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I was able to see many different attractions in a short amount of time; Iran is rich with history and culture. My favorite stops include the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz and the Abbasi Great Mosque in Isfahan. The accommodation was more than adequate and the restaurants were excellent. If you are considering travel to Iran, SurfIran is a great tour company and I am very satisfied with my choice.
