Iran

We traveled to Iran in October 2015. Our Geographic Expeditions itinerary emphasized the history of Persia encompassing visits to a number of World Heritage sites. Many thanks to our leader, Sylvie Franquet, to our Iranian guide, Rouin Ghanavati, and especially to the Iranian people for enriching our experience.
