Ehsan was a great tour very knowledgeable in his response to my questions about iranian culture, politics and history. He is sincere in ensuring that you have a good understanding of the city and ready to assist with questions you have about getting around Tehran. I would recommend Ehsan as a tour guide to whoever is keen to find out more about Tehran!
The time with Ehsan was great. He knows all the secrets and the history of Tehran
Ehsan knew how to tailor your tour depends on your needs and time constraint. I saw how he crunched the most important informations to two hours of walking tour. Either rain or shine he will make sure that you will be satisfied with the tour. Will definitely go with him upon my return in Tehran.
Great tour. Ehsan is very kind and always available to answer questions about the places visited, with great knowledge. At the end of the tour, he also presented us with a folder with practical information about Tehran.
Ehsan was very informative in a fun way, without being boring, spoke excellent english. Much insights as well on food, writing and culture. He helped me out beyond the tour. I needed cash in Rials since I arrived that night and he walked me to an exchangebureau and made it simpler by translating for me.
