Group Travel & Solo Travel
Group Travel:
The simplest and most comfortable way of traveling to Iran at a reasonable price is in a group. Participants will have their itinerary, hotel accommodation and meals, and sightseeing program booked in advance. The price offered by Pars tourist agency will cover nearly all the expense occurring during the trip, so you will not have any additional costs except shopping.
As soon as you arrive in Iran, a tour guide supplied by the local travel agency will pick up you at the airport. He/she will accompany you in the future days and is in charge of taking you to the scenic spots.
All these guides are very competent, both in terms of organizing the trip and in their knowledge of the country and its sights, and their ability to communicate. They could deal with all kinds of situations and help you to avoid many difficulties, greatly enriching your trip in Iran.
Solo Travel:
For those individual travelers, three ways could be chosen:
The first, also the most comfortable but, accordingly, the most expensive way is to book a full package tour through a travel agency. Everything is pre-booked, including the flights, journey, accommodation, meals and transfers. Like group travel, a qualified tour guide from Pars Tourist Agency is available in each town to help with putting together and arranging a sightseeing program.
The second way is booking a mini-package tour. The travel agency is only responsible for booking flights, accommodation and transfers while the travelers have to plan the sightseeing program themselves. Normally, the traveler is met at the airport or Bus Terminal of each town. He/ she then is taken to the hotel. Traveler could discuss their plans for sightseeing there and have them arranged for a fee.
The last one is a completely independent travel, without any pre-booking. This form of traveling in Iran has increased in recent years since it seems to be more flexible and freely. The travelers of this kind have to arrange everything, the flights, accommodation, meals, transfers and sightseeing program themselves. Difficult as these things are, they provide you a good chance to contact Iranian people and practice your ability to deal with various unexpected events. In order to make the travel smooth, you are recommended to book your air tickets and accommodation as soon as you arrive.
