I’ve been travelling around Iran since 2013. My favorite places are deserts and historical sites. I'm familiar with roads and their conditions because I have driven more than 100,000 Kms by my own car. After I started to travel I found that I'm eager to change my job and being a professional tour leader and traveler. finally I established my own company "Persian walk"with one of my friends "Mersa". We run free walking tours every day in our hometown "Tehran" My lovely city, and I always try to show the hidden part of the culture, history and architecture of Iran and Tehran to the tourists and travelers.
