Fully customized tour with helpful guide - I did this tour with Farzona as a guide. She was very helpful and attentive, very knowledgeble about the different attractions. We first went to Hissar and then she fully customized the day’s visits according to my interests. We managed to visit Nawruz Palace, the new Mosque and the museum of antiquities, and she took me to one of the crafts markets. The guide and driver certainly added to the experience. I would fully recommend them.
