Excellent 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 !

Fabulous 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.

Great 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.

Solo 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 <3

Iranvisum 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.

If you have never visited Iran before, going on a cultural tour around the country is one of your best options to educate yourself about the country’s rich historical and cultural heritage in a short span of time.

Before going on a cultural tour in Iran, it is important to decide which part of the Persian culture you would like to explore first. What was the thing that drew your attention to Iran and Iranian culture in the first place? Was it the food? Was it the rituals and celebrations that the people of Iran have managed to safeguard for thousands of years?

Was it the country’s grasp on the region that expanded for hundreds of years? Or did you fall in love with the souvenirs? Was it the famous Isfahan’s Gaz that got you hooked the first time around? Or was it Yazd’s Pashmak or Kerman’s Baghlava?

Are you a fervent art collector who is a die-hard fan of Persian carpets, and you just can’t stop looking at them? What about the Persian pottery and ceramic dishes? How much you do admire a world-renowned copperware that is made in Kerman? How much do you like to be served in copper bowls? Are you a fan of archeology and can’t wait to step foot in some of Iran’s historical sites that date back thousands of years ago?

Do you wish to learn more about the Jiroft of Kerman where the oldest documents of human civilization have been found? Do you wish to explore the folklore music developed in various regions of Iran?

Depending on which part of Iranian history you would like to align yourself with and want to explore more, your destination in a cultural tour in Iran differs. However, let’s discuss some of the best cultural tours available in Iran that can help you develop a fine grasp of the country’s rich historical and cultural heritage:

Discover Persian Cuisine:

If you are a food enthusiast who just loves to eat and explore the different dishes and spices in every country, then this is your best option.

Depending on which city of Iran you arrive at first and wish to start your food tour, your experience varies but it all eventually comes down to a delicious conclusion.

Food tours provide you with an opportunity to develop an in-depth outlook of each region of Iran. Since the food we eat determines our lifestyle, learning about the culinary nature of each region teaches you a great deal about the people of that region and their temperaments. Food tours usually take place in rural areas as well as urban cities.

But the purpose of a food tour is to introduce you to the tastes that you may not be able to experience at a three-star restaurant. That is why local diners are their first destination. Some food tours provide you with cooking sessions as well to help you learn to make your favorite Persian dish.

A food tour is pretty much like an all-you-can-eat buffet, the only limit might be your allergies to any food item or spices. Therefore, if you have any allergies to any specific food item, make sure to inform the tour manager. And it is always a good idea to take your allergy medications with you while going on a food tour.

Don’t forget to buy some sweets! Iranian sweets and cookies are some of the most popular sugary treats around the world. If you are on a food tour in Iran, or any other type of tour, you must buy some of these delicious treats to take home with you.

If you want to introduce your people in your home country to the taste of Iran and Persian culture, nothing does it better than Isfahan’s Gaz, Kerman’s Baghlava, Yazd’s Pashmak, Gilan’s Koloucheh, Qom’s Sohan, Qazvin’s Korabi, Kermanshah’s Kak, etc.

Discover Persian Music:

Iran has a well-documented past in the music and musical industry that has introduced many genres and musical instruments to the world. One of the best ways to educate yourself about Iranian culture is to hear it, to sense it through your ears. Music is the language of hearts and that is why it is the universal language between all people around the world.

There is a sense of richness and identity in the Persian folklore music that reminds one of the times this great nation ruled one-third of the world. Whether you are a professional music enthusiast or a mere amateur, upon hearing Persian folklore music for the first time, you will sense a feeling of familiarity, as you have heard it before.

And the truth is you have! The Persian folklore music roots in the mystic and mythical tales of ancient civilizations that later on transformed into individual nations in Asia and Europe. You can hear the sound of celebration in the music of the Khorasan region and feel vibrant.

While listening to the Ney brings you a sense of grief and a deep understanding of human misery. Most of the Persian musical instruments date back thousands of years ago, and all of them detail the tales of the forgotten past which is entangled in the space between the present and the unforeseeable future. Do not miss the chance of embarking on a journey of Persian folklore music if you ever took a cultural tour in Iran.

Discover Cultural Sites:

What better way to learn about the history and culture of a nation that to explore the remaining features of its past; its cultural sites.

Whether you travel to Shiraz to see the Persepolis or visit the Iranian capital, Tehran, to visit the grandiose palaces, or merely wish to take a walk in Jahan Nama Square in Isfahan, you can witness the place’s art, culture, architecture, and design has had in the history of Iran.

Upon visiting these cultural sites, one cannot help but wonder about the great minds that were behind the construction of these sites.

The rulers of ancient Persia created the mark of their genius in stone to make sure no one is going to ever forget their names.

Travel to these cultural sites, immerse yourself in the experience of witnessing greatness and see your entire level of understanding of the cultural heritage of the East be shifted in one instance.
