Overview

Full Day Astronomy Tour

We start this astronomy tour from Isfahan and it takes 30 minutes to reach the traditional guest house near a small village called Foudaz. The village’s sky has no light pollution and provides you a unique astronomy lesson. Here, let’s enjoy the sunset with a cup of tea and we present you a short introduction about basics of astronomy. This will help to understand the sky and what we will later be able to see.

When it gets dark we will also explain how astronomy can be interesting while observing the sky only with naked eyes. We will show planets and constellations with a laser pointer. Then you’ll have a brief insight into mythology, horoscope and tradition. Finally using a professional telescope to see and learn more about stars, nebula and galaxies(isfahan tour). We will teach you how to read the sky map and then find stars yourselves because we believe that is the best way to make astronomy interesting.

With such interactional approach, you will learn the “alphabet” of astronomy and already become an amateur astronomer. After dinner, we sleep, but it’s better to wake up before sunrise. Let’s not miss observing the clear sky with telescope again. There are a lot more visible and interesting objects in the sky at this time of the night. After breakfast we would greet the morning sun. watch sunspots with solar filters. Experience how astronomy can be interesting while observing the sky during the day.

The tour is performing by Ivan and Fariba, married Croatian – Iranian couple working in consulting and development projects in tourism. Ivan moved to Iran to work on new ideas for the growing Iranian tourism market while Fariba is a professional astronomer with experience of teaching in schools and organizing public sky observations.

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.

best time ever

Ivan and Fariba are great! Fariba is extremely knowledgeable and is happy to share her passion. We also appreciated the efforts she took to maintain compliance for COVID-19 safety. If you go, be sure to ask about leaving our galaxy! Highly recommended.

Awesome Evening adventure

We sure enjoyed our evening under the beautiful sky of Isfahan with the lovely couple! We were able to see the Milky Way,Jupiter, Mars and Venus, along with the moon. Our guides know a lot and taught us a lot! Very kind people! I would do this again!

Night sky

We had a great time on our night sky tour with Fariba. She was a great storyteller and kind to stop the story and tell us about the stars. A great time and learned a lot!

stas, galaxies, and ..Oh my!

What a fantastic experience! I am a big space buff. I wanted to do something that involved the night sky while in Iran. After getting my visa from Tappersia I asked rasol to arrange a tour for me and It was incredible. I would definitely recommend the experience to anyone that is interested in the night sky.

She’s so knowledgeable about the subject matter and , more importantly, she knows how to present the information in a way that interests the audience. Easy to understand and follow her. Also, the way they welcomed us blew me away as well! Such cool stuff! Must do it!

You will learn alot and be amazed

Farib is just gorgeous and just the right gal in a perfect combo with Ivan, the couple took us out of the lights and we spent a lovely afternoon. She assisted us to find stars and comforted us with snacks and water. We made tea and came back to Isfahan. We learned a lot and were intrigued by the information we got. I highly recommend you do this..gaze at stars… have delicious snacks. And even have some deep space views that blow your mind.
