Behind the Veil

Journey to the heart of Persia as you enjoy the luxury of traveling with a small group and gaining privileged access to this little-visited land. Begin in Tehran where local guides will introduce you to the history and culture of Iran at museums, palaces and the country’s national bank, which houses the incredible crown jewels. Then travel west to Hamadan and enjoy privately guided visits to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In the north of the country, Tabriz is one of the friendliest cities in Iran. Stay in a unique cave hotel in the fairytale land of Kandovan, whose inhabitants live in houses carved out of compressed volcanic ash.
