Highlights on Tehran Day Tours
Alamut Valley
Incredible mountainous landscapes, delightful green valleys, scenic farms, lovely orchards, and majestic cliffs make Alamut Valley one of Iran’s most epic (if not the best) hiking destinations! The historical remains of Alamut Castle, and the other Castles of the Assassins, one of the world’s most mysterious and terrifying Medieval cults make it even cooler for a day tour from Tehran!
Chehel Sotoun Palace of Qazvin
Chehel Sotoun is an architectural gem remaining from the 16th century when Qazvin was the capital of Iran. This precious royal palace enjoys the harmony of taste and artistry in its interior decorations. The beauty of the greenery of its garden, the rainbow of colors in its windows, its gorgeous paintings and its stunning vaults are topped with the invaluable collection of Persian calligraphy kept there.

As one of Iran’s largest urban caravanserais and the best preserved of them, Sa’d al-Saltaneh Caravanserai is a top attraction of a Tehran day tour. This beautifully restored building is named after its Qajar-era builder. The historic caravanserai showcases vaulted passages decorated with exquisite jewelry, paintings, carpets, and ceramic ware.

Best regards! I like to spend a Tehran day tour on Tehran museums and galleries. Is there any options?

As I see there are two versions of Chehel Sotoun in Iran. Is there a relation or it’s just a normal nominal similarity?
Hi Ricky. It’s exactly true. At first, Chehel Sotoun of Qazvin was built by Safavid king Tahmasb. The Chehel Sotoun of Isfahan was built later, when they decided to move the capital to Isfahan. The new Chehel Sotun was built according to the previous version.
Hi. Does this day trip include Karaj? I’ve heard the city is cool and there are spectacular villages around it.
Greetings. Of course, we can even arrange a Karaj day tour for you. As you mentioned, there are beautiful villages around there. Baraghan for instance, is a beautiful village near Karaj, with a green nature, traditional cafes, and a beautiful river.
Does this program include Milad tower?
