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.

Tehran
Tehran

With over 15 million residents, Tehran is Iran’s melting pot, the center of its national identity. Check out local shopping experiences in the maze-like Grand Bazaar of Tehran, before heading off to the World Heritage-listed Golestan Palace, in Central Tehran. The 18th c. Qajar-era complex is a masterpiece of hand-painted tiles, set within a lush garden. After a quick stroll through Shahr Park, arrive at the National Museum of Iran, which holds artifacts from ancient and medieval Iranian antiquities.

Tehran
Tehran

Enjoy an early morning hike into Darband, a popular hiking trail, as well as food & entertainment hub, in Mount Tochal. Go for a ride on the Darband Sledge, a small-scale single-seater roller coaster with a view of the whole region. Enjoy a colorful lunch along the picturesque valley and rushing Darband River. Afterwards, head for central Tehran and enjoy a panoramic view of the city from atop Milad Tower, Tehran’s tallest highrise. At night, visit the award-winning Tabiat (Nature) Bridge, which connects Taleghani Park and Abo-Atash Park.

Tabriz
Tabriz

Fly from Tehran to Tabriz. Head towards the 15th c. Blue Mosque, a remnant of the rule of Jahan Shah. If interested, stop by the Azerbaijan Museum or the Iron Age Museum for a lesson on the archeological and historic findings of the region. Visit the Tabriz Municipality Building, known as the Sa'at Tower due to its massive clock. The German-designed building, along with its extensive display of well-maintained utilities and in-house carpet museum are a must see. Stop by the Arg of Tabriz, the remnants of a large fortification and historic city walls.

Tabriz
Tabriz

Start with the World-Heritage listed Tabriz Grand Bazaar, one of the most important commercial hubs on the Silk Road. Stop by the towering and unique minarets of the Tabriz Central Mosque, one of the oldest monuments in the city. Visit the Constitution House of Tabriz. During the 1905 Iranian Constitutional Revolution, the house was a gathering place for prominent revolutionaries. Time-permitting, explore the 19th c. Amir Nezam House or Qajar Museum. Finish the day with a trip to the pond-centered Shah Goli Shrine.

Sarein
Sarein

In the morning, head towards Sarein, the hot spring capital of Iran. The region surrounding the inactive volcano Mt. Sabalan is rife with geothermal activity, resulting in multiple natural springs within the area. Visit Sarein’s famed Gavmish Goli Hot Spring, believed to have therapeutic properties due to high concentrations of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium. Spend the day bathing within the earth’s energy or go for a hike within nearby landscapes. Spend the night in Sarein.

Khalkhal Road
Khalkhal Road

In the morning, head for the ancient shepherding path known as Khalkhal Road in Northern Iran’s Gilan province. The recently-paved road is famed for its rich flora & fauna, cool mountains and extremely varying climate. A common destination for nature photographers, Khalkhal Road is also home to local farmers selling their organic produce on the roadside. Stop by local Khalkhal villages for a chance to indulge in some fresh cheese or juicy pasture-raised lamb kabobs. Rest in a Masal Ecolodge for the night.

Masal
Masal

Wake up early to see the first rays of sun hit the lush peaks of Masal. The green pastures and landscapes of the region feature year-round temperate climate with fantastic hiking opportunities. Eat a local-sourced breakfast then head off into the hills. Explore Olasbelangah, a quiet plateau resting ever-gently above the clouds, surrounded by verdant grasslands and reminiscent of gentle swiss villages within the alps. Enjoy the village’s treats, people and natural delights.

Masuleh & Fuman
Masuleh & Fuman

After a filling breakfast, head towards the stepped village of Masuleh, hidden away in the green crevices and valleys of the Zagros mountains. Masuleh’s unique, congested and sloped development, with each roof serving as the terrace for the building above, has survived since the 10 century AD. After exploring the village, head towards Fuman. The city is one of the main vacation destinations of Iranians. Spend the night relaxing in a Fuman Hotel, with options such as indoor pools, hot tubs, spas & more.

Lahijan
Lahijan

Drive through the Caspian region towards Lahijan. Visit black tea production lines from spring to summer. Stop for lunch at Lahijan’s legendary Ziba Restaurant. Try the signature Kabab Torsh (ground beef with pomegranate sauce), the Mirza Ghasemi (smoked eggplant and garlic dip), or the Baghali Ghatogh (fava beans, dill & egg dip). Finish the day with Siahkal Forest. Stay at the Swan Farm Hotel in Lahijan for the night.

Lahijan
Lahijan

Famous for its tea and warm people, Lahijan is known as one of the jewels of northern Iran. Start the day with a scenic cable car ride in the nearby Sheitan Kooh cable car, a 20-minute ride within the hilly forests, arriving at the Bam-e Lahijan observation point. After taking in the views, make a quick stop at the Lahijan Pool, then it’s off to the water lilies of Soostan Lagoon. Rest in the Swan Farm Hotel for the night.

Namakabrud
Namakabrud

Head for Tonekabon in the morning. Formerly known as the city of the “royal throne”, Tonekabon, referred to by locals as Shahsavar, is located on the coast of the southern shores of the Caspian. The area features a semi-tropical climate and offers fantastic hiking opportunities in the dense forests of Dohezar and Sehezar areas of the Alborz. Enjoy exclusive views in the Ghalegardan Highlands and Dohezar Valley, located southwest of Shahsavar. Spend the night in a Forest Cabin.

Filband
Filband

After a quick breakfast, head towards Filband, known as the “Roof of Mazandaran'' province. Situated at an altitude of about 2,300 m AMSL, the village is nestled within high mountains and dense forests. If climate and precipitation are just right, you’ll be treated to cascading clouds washing over the lofty hills of Filband, engulfing the village. Spend the day enjoying the winding roads, lush landscapes, charming neighboring villages, and local treats. Spend the night in a Fillband Villa.

Filband
Filband

Continue your adventure in one of Iran’s most famous retreats. Spend the day exploring the many hiking trails of Filband. Bring along a few snacks and enjoy a quiet picnic in the pristine mountain air. Use the peaceful landscape as an opportunity to reflect on your many adventures and memo-ries. Enjoy the cascading clouds before returning to your Fillband villa for the night.

Tehran
Tehran

Take one last look at Northern Iran as you make your way towards Tehran. Time-permitting, you can stop along the Haraz River at the picturesque Polour Village, a popular base to climb Mount Damavand.
