Hi, can I see Eram garden in a Shiraz day tour?
Hi. Dear Mike, a Shiraz day tour includes the attractions around Shiraz, but the Eram Garden is inside. You can book it on a Shiraz city tour. Check this link: https://iranontour.com/shiraz-tour-package/
Shiraz is the best city ever!
Can’t argue with that!
Blessings. Hope you guys are doing fine. Are these day tours limited to nature and historical places, or you can provide us a tour through the modern city attractions?
Greetings dear Nick. We can arrange your tour according to your expectations and interests if you inform us about your ideal day tour in Shiraz.
Hello IranOnTour, we have a limited time to visit Iran. Can we see all the Shiraz sights in one day?
You have a one day tour including Persepolis, Naghsh-e-Rostam, and Hafez tomb. What time is better to visit, evening or morning?
It depends on you and the season, but in the afternoon the weather is better.
When is the best season to visit the Pink Lake?
Spring is the best season to visit the Pink Lake. March and April are the best months.
I just watched the Necropolis’ photos, wow such an amazing place. Are we allowed to go inside those holes?
I can understand your curiosity. They are the most important Achaemenian kings, and it is not allowed to go inside them.
Hello IranOnTour! Our tour starts from Shiraz, and we know that there is 400 year old school in Shiraz. We are interested in visiting there, can you arrange that for us? Thank you so much.

Hello IranOnTour! I’m interested in Sasanid dynasty, so I am going to visit all the sights near Shiraz, but I couldn’t find Qale Dokhtar and Ardeshir palace. It means that you don’t craft a tour to these amazing places?
Hello from IranOnTour. No sir we will craft all the tour around Shiraz.
I’m interested in going up to the Shahpur cave. Do I need any special equipment?
Good choice. No, you just need normal shoes for hiking.
