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.

A group for creating delicious cultural experience for dear travelers

Iran Heritage Tours group is the first adventure cultural company designed exclusively for all people and especially 45 and over who choose Iran as their destination. This group has worked

for many years for international tourism companies within and out of Iran. Now it is our mission

to sell the quality reasonably in a direct way. Thanks to travel, tour and immigration that occurred to our friends and they have moved to explore new horizons. It is also going to be done in opposite way for our team. It means we are to help eagerly those others for exploring Iran, the country of 5000 B.C. till now. Formerly called Persia and now is called Iran, its people,

Iranians formerly called Persian, are considered if not the most but one of the most hospitable

hosts in the world. We offer active, off-the-beaten-path, lecturer, happy and heritage small and big group adventures and cultural tours through the ancient large country of Persia. Our knowledge of tourism, our almost comprehensive information about history, architecture, nature, costumes are strengthened by the experience we have taken during many years. Iran is

the country of beneath the mystery, beyond the history; and with us you excavate these cultural layers. We do is more than what we say.

We invite you to browse through our website, take our catalogues or give our people in your country a call. A real person will always answer not during business hours, rather any time. We strongly believe that quality is not expensive and we have proven it. Our team is ready to prove it again and again.

We highly believe looking at people as “tourists” have passed away. Our view is “the tourist” in order to meet your expectations. We willingly invite you to travel with our groups and enjoy your journey.

Last, since tourism is for fraternity between nations, we would like to declare that we are exactly ordinary people who run their own business independently. A group of tourism educated people

who receive no support from any organization. We glory in peoples` support. We would let you know that we support those students who need to be supported.

We hope you can join “Iran Heritage Tours” on one of our group adventures for travelers particularly 45 plus dears. Join and enjoy it. Quality is never expensive.
