Description

As I believe Tehran is a window to knowing Iran, on this walking tour I do my best to explain how Tehran became the capital of Iran while briefing history of Iran during World Wars. Tehran has witnessed two revolutions in less than one century.

On the other hand, the basic religion and culture tips useful for all tourists to understand Iran better. Certainly we will see beauties of architecture and experience liveliness of bazaar while walking shoulder to shoulder of locals.
Tour ends at Golestan Palace.

Meet us at the exit of Imam Khomeini Metro Station at the Bab-Homayoon street. It's easy to get there by metro: take line 1 (red line) and get off at the Imam Khomeini Station.
