This is the second time Hamed has helped me to see Iran. On this trip I asked Hamed to get my visa approval number and to put together an itinerary for me and book my accommodation and internal travel. Yet again, I was so impressed with Hamed's approach and knowledge. He took the time to find out the sorts of things I'm interested in and made fabulous suggestions for extra things I might like to see and do. He organised great accommodation and suggested a number of travel options that would suit my style of travel whilst being considerate of the cost. When I was travelling by bus he stayed in touch with the bus driver as I don't speak Farsi and I needed to get off at a strange place. He also made sure there was a taxi waiting for me when I got off the bus in the dark with instructions on where my accommodation was. Hamed was pivotal to this trip to Iran even though I didn't spend much time in his very charming company. His professionalism ensured that I had a wonderful time in his beautiful country without any hassles. I just can't wait to go back. Read less

I met Hamed a few days ago in Tehran.  I was only in the city for a day and in that short space of time he showed me so much of the city along with its way of life and what makes Tehran.

But overall what made Hamed a great guide is that he is such a wonderful person - he is not like a tour guide, but a good friend showing you the sights of Iran.  You forget he is a tour guide and as a tourist in Iran, he makes you feel so at ease and as if I knew him for many years.

His knowledge of Iran is amazing and in the few hours we were together he thought me so much and even showed me how to cross the street through the crazy traffic of Iran:) 

Weather you are touring Tehran or various locations in Iran, I can 100% recommend my new friend Hamed.  

My girlfriend and I are going back to Iran in 2015 for a longer period this time, so we can see more of Iran in the safe hands of Hamed - we cannot wait.

Thank you so much Hamed for all your assistance.

I was completely amazed by Hamed's level of professionalism and knowledge as a guide.  He listened to what I wanted to see and experience as a guest in his country and helped me plan a fabulous and exciting trip. His knowledge of history, social issues, culture, music and art tapped into my interests and really helped give depth to my trip.  He is a brilliant interpreter and facilitated my chats to Iranian people with great skill. Hamed has wonderful English skills and is interested in just about anything so we were never short of conversation despite long drives together.  In fact, much of our week together was spent as a cultural exchange, learning about each other's lives.  As a solo female traveller I found Hamed an ideal companion and he has become a wonderful friend.

We were lucky enough to book a tour with Hamed around Iran, starting from Tehran, to Kashan, Isfahan, Shiraz and back. During our 10 days trip we became really good friends with Hamed and his lovely wife. We enjoyed every moment of our trip, were guided to all the fantastic places which Iran is full of! Everything was so smooth and well organized, all information we needed - we received in full, about art, history, tradition, culture of this wonderful country. We can highly recommend Hamed to any tourist to Iran, you will enjoy his services and hospitality and may be will have a new look at Iran, contrary to what we hear in the media every day.

I can also add that Hamed is an excellent driver with a reliable car so at no moment in our trip did we feel insecure! Well done!

Hopefully one day Hamed will come to our country and we will repay him with our hospitality!

Hamed was a fantastic guide to help me in and around Tehran. He was much more than a guide really, he has become a very good friend for life. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Hamed as their guide in Tehran will be greatly welcomed by him and his family and you will no doubt see him as a friend also. Hamed showed me so much of such a massive city in such a short space of time. He knows all the nice places and will take you pretty much anywhere on request just to make you feel looked after. I hope I will return to Iran again in the future and be able to meet up with Hamed to see more of this amazing country.
