4. Are these “educational” tours?
Yes, in the broadest sense of the word, “educational”. We visit museums and local
villages. We also have talks and discussions on many aspects of Iranian history and
culture, but this is only one aspect of what we do. We believe that it is equally
educational to meet new people on a non-commercial basis, visit their homes and even
try to learn a few words in the native language. Sometimes the most “educational”
moments are spent having a cold drink with locals in a street market.
