In the mid 90"s we were granted permission to take American tourists to Iran - and our first tour was in Iran a few months later. I believe that was the first group of American tourists since the revolution (before that Iran was getting a lot of American citizens). Since then several tourists have gone to Iran and the experience of all these tours that we have handled has been a good one. People are very friendly and hospitable and the government regulations (especially the dressing codes) have also been becoming lenient. It is a safe destination and has a lot to offer. The first tour we operated was called The Persian Route - that itinerary (along with new additions done since then) still operates. For details see - www.bestway.com - go to Iran page. If anybody has concern you may contact me.
Okay, but how meaningful is this, really?
