Question: we just return from iran and i want to give some information

1. we get to iran from van (turkey) by train. long trip, late 2 hours with departure and 5 hours with arriving. half night pass contropls and customs, coach clean. anyway - not bad.

2. in tehran i asked to make for us recervation by www.PersiaTravelMart.com. They receive money and didnot make any booking. we have big problems in hotel. hotel SHAHR is really very nice and beautiful. it is historical building far away from center (20 min - 8USD) by taxi if traffic nice. 70 USD double per night with breakfast.. the way back we again have problems with hotel but much shorter, again because of PersiaTravelMart - they didnot make recervation second time.

in tehran is very clever guide, perfect english-speaking HASSAN - 09122276383 ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) he know town very good.
