Iranian Revolutionary Tour (April)

Home » Iranian Revolutionary Tour (April)

Come join our first tour of the year to the majestic and contemporary hotspot that is the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Our first tour of the year takes us to all of the major sites in Tehran as well as the ancient capitals of Shiraz, and Esfahan. As well as the ancient history this tour also offers lots of opportunities to interact with locals, and witness the visual reality of what is the Iranian Revolution. On the trip itself and through our local guides we will be doing lots of hidden extras, not published on the itinerary, for obvious reasons.

Tour begins and ends in Tehran from the 6th-13th April, but has been arranged with enough flexibility if people need to arrive, or leave one day early (6th, 12th).

This tour finishes and arrives in Beijing a day before the departure of the Kim Il Sung Birthday Returners Tour, and can be combined for a discount on both trips.

€780 ($1050) fully inclusive 7 nights, 8 days Tehran – Shiraz – Esfahan – Tehran
