Not long ago, there were more than 3000 Pigeon Towers all around Isfahan, but now you don’t get to see a lot of them. These towers were made as a home to pigeons and were built in a way that no other animal could get in it, only the pigeons. This is why it was a safe place for them. One of these towers, known as Borj Pigeon Tower, dates back to the Safavid era. This 18 meters high tower is built with bricks and plaster for agricultural uses. Humans built these towers for the dung of the pigeons. These towers can hold more than 15000 pigeons. As you step into the house of pigeons, you can see their nests by the walls, all ordered in a beautiful way.
Takht-e Foulad is the second historical site you get to see. It is one of the oldest cemeteries in Isfahan and it is a historical attraction. The cemetery dates back to the pre-Islamic period, in the 4th century. This place was an important cemetery in all the eras. Many monuments and mausoleums were built in the Safavid and Qajar era. Baba Rokn-ol-din and Mirfendereski are two of the most noticeable of these tombs. Mirfendereski was a famous mystic and scholar in the Safavid era. His grave is covered with a beautiful marble stone with a poem of Hafez on it. Baba Rokn is the oldest monument of Takht-e Foulad. This memorial was built in the 8th century for this famous mystic. People somehow believed in him and respected him a lot. That is why from generation to generation the mysterious and magical stories of Baba Rokn has been passed and even now it is like a holy place to the locals, especially the religious people. The magnificent blue dome of this building can be seen and it works just like a magnet, that you wanna go and see what is going on inside. As you step into this mausoleum, you can feel the spiritual atmosphere in there.
The last stop is the beautifully structured Khaju Bridge. The finest bridge of Isfahan was built in 1650 by the order of Shah Abbas II for multiple reasons such as, temporary royal residence, a dam to control water and for holding meetings. This 133 meters long bridge is made with a solid stone layer. The 23 arches of this iconic bridge are decorated with tile works and paintings. This is not an ordinary bridge for the locals. People spend a lot of time under the arches with their families and you can hear them singing in the magical atmosphere of this site, or you can see them sitting on the bridge admiring the spectacular view in front of them.
These must-see places all offer their beauties with a long background in history. Get ready for hearing the stories of these places and to enjoy a beautiful day in Isfahan.

Hicham Kabbage2023-04-14Excellent service and support Excellent Service ! i am surprised by the reactivity and the will to help and find quickly hotels, flights and solutions for me, even though the holiday season makes things challenging. Chatting through whatsapp made things super smooth and extremely easy. I was interacting with two people from TAP Persia, Rojin and Sohrab. They were just amazing ! They are the ones who reached out to me directly and interacted instantly with me day and night. Great job guys !I used earlier a different company but i was disappointed, i strongly recommend TAP Persia .Keep up the great work !VerifiedFurusan2023-04-10Visa service for Iran Tappersia was very quick in getting the grant notice for e visa for Iran. I got the grant notice on the following day after they submitted my application to the ministry of foreign affairs.They are very responsive thru WhatsApp.Verified
Rebekka M2023-04-10Visa application service With TAP Persia we applied for an Iran Visa. They answered every question we had quickly and very friendly. Within 5 days, we got our Visa approval. We thank again for your service.VerifiedAmine A2023-04-10Visa Je remercie infiniment l'équipe Tap persia pour leur efficacité et rapidité pour l'obtention du visa , ça durée 24 heure pour l'avoir, l'équipe est très réactive même les weekends je recommande vivement et sans hésitation Je viens de passé au consulat d'Iran a paris pour la récupérer et j'ai payé que 30 euro mille merci ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️VerifiedKhushi D2023-04-09Great service It is an amazing experience. Visa process with tap Persia is hassle free and I loved how they’re available to help us 24/7VerifiedPat R2023-04-04Fabulous agency - can't recommend more highly for travellers to Iran I decided to go to Iran at short notice and was only able to do so thanks to the exceptional service provided by TAP Persia.What further complicated was my ignorance of being in the middle of Nowruz and the impact that has on flight availabilities etc.In the first instance, that revolved around speedy obtainment of a visa as well as other aspects such as insurance and mah card via their great-value welcome pack.Thereafter, all of my accommodation, tour guides and transport between destinations was arranged by the beyond-wonderful Mahgol with tremendous efficiency, patience and responsiveness - I could not praise nor thank her enough.Communications are as good as can be.With my lack of Farsi and, more specifically, incomprehension of the alphabet, doing things in this manner was the only way to go.All of the guides - Fatemah, Amin, Fardin, Moji, Peyman and Masoud - were fantastic being passionate, knowledgeable, smarter-than-average bears and very nice people.Rasool, Mehrnoush and Sohrab in the office were also very helpful.I would say though that, to help them (especially) to try to draft your itinerary as much as possible before approaching them as this will save time i.e. places, days in each, hotel price-range then trust them to select the latter for you.VerifiedJan2023-04-02Great Service :) TApersia accompanied us well on the way to our Iran visa. My wife's visa took 2 weeks longer than mine (German EU & I'm Swiss). Our questions were always answered quickly by the nice Mahgol via WhatsApp. We think she did her best for our visa processing. After a while, we were also asked how we were doing! Nice, support and promptness are at the highest level.Verified
Mariam Alwazir2023-03-28Solo Saudi female in <3 IRAN <3 10/10. It's hard for me to be succinct, but I will try. I am a Saudi who has been impressed, curious, and infatuated by Iranian culture(s), Iron Age history, Islamic & other religious histories, architecture, and geography for over 15 years. Yum, and food. I wanted initially to continue my Persian language study at Dehkhoda Institute, however student visas take much longer than other visas to process, and I would likely miss my class during the processing time. I was disheartened and scrambled through my Google bookmarks looking for old travel that I had saved over the years in my Iran folder. ;) TAP Persia was bookmarked numerous times and I quickly applied for a tourist visa. Hey, I can still practice some Persian as a tourist, right? THE PROCESS WAS SO EASY. So smooth! Mahgol deserves all the praise and recognition for bringing relief to my anxious-self (because I had already long-ago booked my airline tickets and took time off work!), and she walked me through all the steps in a timely manner and with competence and grace. Even during the first week of Norouz and Ramadan, I got a friendly update and advice -- got my tourist visa within 5 or 6 days (the Ministry was closed for Ramarouz, but WOW that was still quick). I cried from happiness and surprise... Thank you thank you. I will be in Iran April to mid-May. Originally I just registered for TAP Persia welcome package + visa help, but now I'm pretty curious about signing up for one or 2 of their tours now. I am beyond impressed and excited. This travel company, Mahgol, & this team already made me feel safe and like I'm going home, and I imagine with their business practice, will prosper for many years down the road. Thank you so much. Someone please remind me to update this post with photos once I arrive to Iran <3VerifiedBoba2023-03-27Easy amd efficient visa service I was more than happy with the visa application process done via TAP Persia. All went smoothly. The team is very kind, responsive and professional. The support and promptness are at the highest level.VerifiedDaniel S2023-03-24Iranvisum Ich habe mein Visa für den Iran über TAP Persia beantragt, da der normale Weg zu kompliziert war und sehr viele potentielle Fehler birgt. Ich kann den Service definitiv empfehlen. Alles ist sehr gut und detailliert beschrieben. Der Preis für diesen Service ist es in meinen Augen definitiv Wert. Auch der Kontakt nach der Beantragung über WhatsApp war sehr gut. Sehr freundlich und hilfreich.
