Hamid Hassanpour named ‘best independent tour guide’ in Iran
10 of the best independent tour guides: readersâ tips
10 of the best independent tour guides: readersâ tips
At the end of a two-week tour of Iran in April, our guide, Hamid Hassanpour, asked us, “What’s the best thing about Iran?”. “You!” we replied. Hamid loves his country: the history, architecture, gardens, people, food. He imparted his knowledge with enthusiasm, and fielded our constant and sometimes difficult questions with humour and patience. Terrifying traffic was calmly negotiated and when I took a tumble in Shiraz he quietly took control, ensuring I was well cared for in A&E. He also conjured up wonderful picnics from the boot of his spotless Renault Megane. He is the best guide you could wish for.

What would Bourdain do? How to honor the intrepid traveler’s legacy
When Bourdain arrived in Iran, a country he said “Americans probably have the most contentious relationship with on Earth,” he didn’t seek to solve anything or to wrap it all up nicely in a one-hour episode.
Instead, he showed viewers what he saw, tasted and heard. Asking Iranians what their hopes were for their country, Bourdain let the people of Iran lead the dialogue.

A friend who had done an organised tour a few months earlier couldn’t stop raving about this off-the-tourist-trail nation of 81 million people.
