Yes, the current visa regulations for US, Canadian and UK citizens makes it a bit more difficult to travel in Iran. However, even though we were on a group tour and then with a private guide we still found time to explore on own and found the trip really worthwhile. In other words, don’t let the restrictions keep you from visiting.

I’m so disappointed that Canadian citizens must be accompanied by a guide at all times, looks like such a lovely country and I’ve only heard great things about the people. Also glad to see one of the paths less traveled displayed with such a beautiful photo essay!

Cheers 🙂
Andrew

Thanks for your kind words about what we’re doing by sharing stories like this so others may see places and people with new eyes. We were only in Kermanshah for a short time, but we found people incredibly friendly. It would be wonderful to return to Iran and have more time to spend in smaller towns like this. Thanks again for stopping by and commenting.

As a British woman married to an Iranian for 30 years, I have found your experience of Iran fascinating and heart-warming. I have only visited Iran twice and both times were wonderful. My husband is from Kermanshah so to see that rarely seen side of Iran from your perspective is great. The kindness and hospitality shown to visitors is, in my view, second to none. What a wonderful job you are doing, opening peoples eyes to people and cultures that we may never experience ourselves. Thank you

For you, and other readers of this thread about Iran, be sure to check out this brief article about the Iranian people:

Today it’s rare to find anyone who cares anything about Iran or it’s people. Although it’s obvious that many problems that Iran is faced with is political, though we generally believe what our leaders tell us to be true, the truth is that individually Iranian’s are peaceful people who just like to enjoy life!

What I noticed about the two women in our group who were sometimes off on their own exploring was that they were often “adopted” by people who wanted to help them, buy them gifts, take care of them — not in a creepy way, but in a protective and kind way. I found people to be rather respectful towards foreign women. I haven’t been to Syria or Egypt, but I can’t imagine it would be more difficult than those countries.

Let us know if you decide to go and we can help with advice and planning!
