On this trip, we get to know Iran and one of its important cities, which was the capital of Iran for many years and was ruled by great empires. We visit gardens, museums, lakes, and many beautiful buildings. We eat local foods and get to know Iran's people, cultures, and customs by walking around the city. I love to socialize, travel and help people I like to show you my beautiful city and country. I hope you are comfortable with me and if you have any questions or need help, ask me. What I expect from fellow travelers are intimacy, empathy, and love. Our residence is beautiful residences with historical monuments and Iranian paintings, which you will enjoy very much, and on other nights we may stay in the suite. You can use both shared and private rooms. The cost you pay includes: - Accommodation (Shared or Private rooms both upon request) - Garden and museum entrances - Transportation.

Enjoy delicious Iranian food while staying in clean and safe hostels and apartments. It is my pleasure to meet new people and travel. I am Nakisa, a thirty-year-old who enjoys traveling. So far, I have taken many travelers with me to Iran and different cities in Iran. I try to create moments for people they like to experience. I am a vegan and a nature lover and I believe that we are the missing pieces of a whole being that draw boundaries between us, but we find each other by traveling and walking around the earth and show that nothing can separate people.
