Traveling In Iran In Style
If you would like to order an Iran travel package and visit the country in good style
, you have to make sure certain quality factors exist in your selected package. First of all, traveling in a group doesn't help you make the most of your trip. Secondly, you need to incorporate particular features for having the best of possibilities.Take a Tour as Individuals
If it is only you or your couple traveling in Iran, the best will be not to add anybody else to the team. So, you will form a tour as individuals. It will be only you deciding the following:
O Which extra sights to visit
O Which sights to ignore
O Where to eat, take photos, etc
O How long to stop at a sight
O Which sight to visit longer
O Etc
Of course, a consultation with your guide is always recommended as he is the one with local knowledge of the best sights to visit, restaurants to eat in, stuff to buy, etc.
Order a Bed and Breakfast Iran Travel Package
If you do not include lunch and dinner at your package, you can tell your guide what you would like to eat and where you feel like eating. You can skip a meal, have it a little later or a little sooner if possibilities allow. I am sure you will remember to let your driver and guide know about your decision so that they can arrange for their meals as well.
To learn more about Iranian dishes and table manners, it is always helpful not to go to any restaurant on your own. Your guide can help you in and around such places. Ordering a full board package, will usually limit you to a fixed set of options. When you are in charge of paying for your meals, you decide to go to all the special places or expensive restaurants to eat as well as what to eat and how much to eat.
Select the So-Called Five Stars Wherever Possible
The categorization of the hotels in Iran does not follow the international standards. Although most of the hotels above 3-star are clean and air-conditioned, you will be more relaxed and comfortable in larger hotels, with better trained staff and more modern facilities, etc.
Sometimes, it's not only the stars locally assigned to the hotels that make a difference. Ask your tour operator which hotels are better equipped with the amenities you are looking for.
Certain events are inevitable in the hotels. For instance, if you are traveling in Iran in style and use such hotels, your journey may coincide with a sports competition in the city of your stay. Then, young energetic athletes may stay in the same hotel and turn out to prove their presence. You cannot help it if it happens to you. Experience shows that the athletes in a 5-star behave more cautiously and considerately than in a 3-star hotel.
More minor details, if not all, will be taken into consideration by the hotel staff if you choose one of those top-end hotels in Iran. Right now, in some cities, like in Yazd, there is no 5-star hotel, but there is a 4-star that could easily compete with 5-star ones in some other cities. You will definitely not want to cross out Yazd from your Iran travel package just because of having no 5-star, especially when you find out how attractive the city is and how charming the hotel can be by itself.
Besides, if you want to know how it feels to live in a desert city like Yazd, you have to be there and see and feel it from morning to evening. You also will appreciate the architecture and other cultural heritage of the city. You drive there and on the way, you happen to see the water supplement systems, caravansaries, industries, agriculture, rural life, oases, etc.
Make Sure Your Vehicle Is in Good Condition
Most of the vehicles used in tour transportation are in good condition. It will be reassuring to double check with your tour operator that your vehicles are:
O Well maintained
O Not very old
O Large enough
O Well built
There are some limitations in the choice of vehicles in Iran. Usually Peugeots, Renaults, Kias are the kind of sedans used for transporting tourists in Iran. If well-kept, which could be the case with the tour operators who care for quality, the same sedans are great choices to travel with. For better vehicles, you can ask for the possibilities.
Ask for a Driver-Guide If Possible
As an individual or a couple of travelers, you may be accompanied by a driver and a guide. Yet, there is another solution: ask for a guide who drives you in his car. This can be helpful in different ways:
O It brings down your costs, because you pay for the accommodation and meals of one person.
O It makes you deal with one person during the trip, not to deal with two people one of whom knows less of a foreign language.
O It leaves you with more space in the car. You may want to have some gadgets, stuff, etc inside the car.
O It helps you learn more about the country as they are more experienced, knowledgeable, etc.
