Highlighted reviews from other travelers
The boat ride and stops at the various islands were nice. The best part was chatting with some Iranian tourists. Amid all the news about the bad stuff that happens there, it’s easy to forget many Iranians are friendly normal people and to me surprisingly similar to their middle class counterparts in the West.
The different island stops were well paced and great
