We disclose Persian wonderful cultural features during 9 hours day tour. In Shiraz day tour, we visit Karim Khan Citadel, Vakil Complex, Nasir-ol-Mulk Mosque, Narenjestan Garden and Zinat Al-Molk House.
We visit Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque (aka Pink Mosque) few steps from Vakil Bazaar. It was built under the command of one of the lords of the Qajar Dynasty, Mirza Hasanali Nasir-ol-Molk. It took 12 years to complete in 1888. Its interior reveals a magnificent masterpiece of design with stunning colors. If you are a photography fan, you are in the right place. The mosque is considered to be one of the most picturesque and iconic places in Shiraz better still in Iran. Since the time is so crucial in the mosque photography, make sure you are there on time. Then, you visit Karim Khan Citadel (Arg of Karim khan), built during the Zand Dynasty. Take a walk to Pars museum to see amazing paintings of contemporary art, Karim khan tomb inside the pavilion and Nazar gardens. After a short excursion, you have time to explore and shop in the bustling Vakil Bazaar, home to hundreds of stores, beautiful courtyards, and an ancient caravanserai. Continue your exploration in Shiraz in the beautiful orange-scented Narenjestan Garden and Zinat Al-Molk House, next door.
Great, overall view of Iran and Persian history. Beautiful country!
The 11 day budget tour was absolutely excellent value for money with most aspects of the itinerary exceeding my expectations. The guides were exceptionally well qualified, knowledgeable and experienced with excellent social skills and friendly, warm and sociable personalities.
Hit and miss - while we loved our time in Iran, the tour was disappointing in some regards. Shaqa was a friendly, welcoming and personable guide however she often put her own interests before those of her group (only 4 of us travelling together). Knowledge was lacking in other areas however we supplemented this with our guidebooks. A more detailed itinerary would help matters. Driver, vehicle, hotels all very good.
It was my dream for a long time to visit Iran and the experience that I had with Esmael and Oveyss was awesome. Very helpful people and resourceful. My expectations were above and beyond. These people left a good mark of me of Iran. It was an epic trip from North to South and I wish can do it over again. Thank you very much Esmael and Oveyss
Got to see the most important things in a very short period of time. I wouldn't be able to do so many things if we didn't join this tour. Our tour guide Sahand was amazing! He answered all our questions and had the best advice/tips and stories. Getting to know him and about Iran from his perspective was part of the enjoyment of the tour!
Hi, I have just returned from a holiday to Iran. I would like to say thank you for an amazing trip, I know you have lots of destinations and tour guides, but the one we had Oveyss Kiyani, was exceptional, he is like a walking encyclopedia, he is so knowledgeable.
This tour allows you to see most parts of Iran. The tour was very well organised. I had an excellent driver, who managed to safely navigate Iranian traffic, which was not always easy. My tour guide Elahe was knowledgeable, efficient and professional, but also had that personal touch, which I very much appreciated.
Our trip to Iran was a big question at the begining however it ended up as an amazing one. It was totally a new experience. Iranians are so freindly and love to take selfies. Local houses give you the chance to live locals' life for a short time. Its too short but authentic. Apochi team were a good hand and a great supporter in time of exchange challenges.
Superb, certainly one of the best traveling experiences we've had over the past decade or so. We learned about 2500 years of Persian culture; we learned what a skewed view of Iran we tend to get from Western politicians and media. We are very impressed with the Iranian people. This all thanks to the travel agency Apochi.com
Sahand - our local guide - made the tour absolutely incredible. The itinerary was good and Sahand was happy to be flexible. Some items in the itinerary were scheduled on Friday however Sahand moved these around for us. The hotel in Isfahan was great. Apochi did run the group tour with just two people and so we were very thankful for the - in effect - private tour. Iran is amazing!!
The Apochi team in Tehran was very helpful, setting up this comprehensive tour with just myself travelling on very short, four-day notice. They helped out at my arrival when cash was needed to get the entry visa, provided a highly competent tour guide who is a PhD candidate in archaeology, and were flexible with the hotel reservations when dealing with change. requests. And Apochi is the perfect partner to set you up.
Forget all your preconceptions. Iran has the friendliest people in the world (we were stopped and chatted and took selfies with literally hundreds), the most fascinating historical sites (especially Persepolis, gorgeous palaces and Mosques) beautiful landscapes (Lut desert, mountains) and we felt completely safe. Our guide Reza and the Managing Director of Apochi, ATA, were particularly helpful.
Along our trip, many times I joined other group to hear the orientation from their guide. Why? 1. Our guide Just let us read explanation signs. 2. I found other guides are much knowledgeable. Reza is a good guy but obviously he only knows your information at Tabriz.
Absolutely loved Iran, the scenery, the cities, the history and the people. Such friendly, helpful, caring people. Esmaeil my guide for the last week has been so knowledgeable as well as fun to be with.
We are very happy with your service. All your team, specially the guides; are marvelous people. You have a beautiful country with very special people. Although we could reach the summit , we are really happy, for this reason the next summer we want to visit you again
As for our driver-guide ‘Mister Bobak He has been helpful in many ways, providing interpretation, translation, wifi, answers to our many questions, and leading us to good addresses we would not have discovered without his help. This was an excellent company and guidance, we can easily recommend to our family members, colleagues, and friends willing to visit Iran.’
