5 months agoEhsan 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.
