Iran Tour Operator & Iranian Travel Agency: IranOnTour

As a licensed Iranian tour operator and travel agency, IranOnTour is on a mission of taking you to the highlights of Iran’s ancient history, the depth of its rich culture, and in genuine touch with its hospitable people. Need an Iran visa, a tour customized for YOU, or any other travel services in Iran? We’ve got you all covered!

Why Join an Iran Tour Operator for Your Trip

The Diversity & Vastness

As the world’s 18th largest country, with countless mementos of Iranian history, a natural diversity and cultural richness that will amaze you, 24 UNESCO heritages, 2 natural world heritages, and 19 intangible heritages, Iran is hard to discover on your own. A local Iran Travel Agency will take you to the bests of all these.

The Booking Limitations

The tourist infrastructure in Iran is different from other places around the world. Online booking of accommodation is very limited, let alone online booking of other services like transportation, entrance tickets, food, etc. So, the support of a local Iranian travel company is vital.

The Small But Vital Details

The truth is, it takes a lot of work to keep a tour coordinated in Iran and details are vital. It is only a local tour operator that knows the whens, hows, wheres and whys that can make major changes in your plans. A single holiday or occasion during which the sites will be closed or the access to food will be limited, for example, can change your whole trip.

A Good Iranian Tour Company for a Tour of Iran

Is Local

A local Iran travel agency means more safety, more knowledge of the area and its particular features, and direct access to and familiarity with facilities and services. A good local agency will not only have your back from within the country, but it will also dismisses the extra costs that a company based elsewhere will cause you. Because that company is also working with a local one.

Is Licensed

Being licensed under Iran’s Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism makes a local Iranian Tour Operator reliable. This license makes the tour operator responsible toward you and the services it offers you. But lack of it discharges the company from any responsibility.

Is Experienced

Like in any other business, high experience in the field of incoming tours makes a company more professional, skilled and knowledgeable in creating and operating the best possible tours. In case of Iran, the unique features and infrastructure of the country make the experience and professional level factor vital.

Is Responsible

A good tour company is responsible, towards you, towards its operating team, and towards the region and society it takes you to. If the Iranian travel agency you pick cares about the nature and respects the local communities, it will also be reliable for a nice tour of Iran.

Useful Info to Know Before Your Iran Tour

Whether you require a visa to enter Iran depends on your nationality. If you do need one for your Iran tour and holiday, you’ll have to apply in advance. You can do it either yourself or leave everything to us. Applying through us means a faster process and a lower chance of getting rejected.  American, Canadian, and British citizens might have a more complicated visa process. For more details and finding out about visa-free travel to Iran or traveling to Iran free trade zones check out our blog. To apply for an Iran visa, please Contact Us.

For joining an Iran Tour and applying for an Iranian tourist visa, being covered by a proper travel insurance is essential. The providers, rates, requirements, and ways to obtain one are different. Our Iran Insurance blog can help you choose one.

The official currency in Iran is the Iranian Rial. But, although the bank notes and goods pricings are written in Rial, the prices are almost always given in Toman (1 Toman=10 Rials). So, if for example a shop keeper charges you 10,000 Tomans for a carton of milk, you should pay 100,000 Rials. Well, that’s still a lot of zeros, right? So Iranians usually even drop 3 more zeros and simply say 10 Tomans.

The most important thing to know before your Iran tour is that wearing a headscarf (hijab) is a MUST for all women. The good news is, Iranian women are liberal and fashionable about it and so can you! What else? Well, both men and women should be wearing modest clothing. So neither can wear shorts in public; and no stringers for men. Although you’ll find Iranian ladies dressing more liberally, I’d recommend loose fitting shirts that cover your arms and pants that come down to your ankles. And if you’re wearing leggings or tight jeans, make sure your shirt is long enough to cover your bottom.

While other languages and dialects are spoken in Iran, the official language of the country is Farsi (Persian). For your Iran tour, besides learning Farsi numerals, there are a few other phrases that will definitely come in handy. Find more at Things to Know Before Traveling to Iran.

A scarf or shawl (women)

Loose and light clothing for travelling in summer

Warm outfits for trips in winter & fall

A piece of warm clothing for early spring

A camera or a video camera to capture your moments

A pocket dictionary for easier communication

A copy of your passport and the visa page

Cash (EUR or USD)

A small first-aid kit

Sun screen, sunglasses & hat

Keeping in touch with family, friends, and loved ones during your Iran Tour is easy. Private phones, Iranian Sim Cards, Wi-Fi, mobile data connection, and fax services at most hotels make communication efficient and reliable in Iran. Using your own sim card means higher expenses and limitations like no access to mobile data. So getting an Iranian SIM Card is a better idea. With these cheap SIM Cards, you can have Internet access almost everywhere in Iran. However, if you are planning to stay in Iran more than 30 days, you must register your cell phone. Plus, Wi-Fi access is also widespread via hotels and Internet cafés. Iran country code is +98. Find out more here.

Like to search about Iran attractions or share your Iran Tour experiences with friends and family on social media or social networking while on the Iran tour? Good news for WhatsApp and Instagram users: there are no limitations. But I’m afraid I’ve got bad news for Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, and YouTube users: it’s not very simple to use your platform! However, where there is a will, there is a way! And the Iranian solution is using VPNs. Our Iran Social Media blog can help you with finding and using a VPN.

Visitors describe Iranians as unbelievably kind and welcoming. These Iranian traits come from the importance of being courteous and open to a guest in the Iranian culture. One example of the Iranian politeness is the sometimes confusing Târof tradition. If a taxi driver, cashier, or shop keeper rejects your money and says it’s his/her treat, it doesn’t really mean that you can just leave and not pay (LOL). It could just be a polite gesture! But if they insist, then you’ve just tasted a piece of Iranian hospitality. Yet, like traveling around any other country, following cultural norms will be considerate and respectful of you. For example, modest dress code and behavior are preferred especially in religious places. Avoid public display of affection and alcohol drinking. Also, since shaking hands with the opposite gender is hit-and-miss in Iran, wait for the other person to offer his/her hand. The safest way for a gentleman is to put his hand on his heart, maybe bow a little bit, and show a bright smile. Find out more here.
