We were traveling with Yanak for 11 days from Tehran to Shiraz. He was the perfect guide for our trip. He knows his country very well and is a true organizational talent. Also, he knows a lot about the historical and cultural background of the different sights and in general the history of Iran. Yanak also supported us when we were buying carpets in Isfahan, which helped us in getting a good deal. He is a very trustful person. Furthermore, I would describe him as open minded and easy going. He is very respectful and has a good sense of tact. I can recommend him 100%. You are definitely in good hands with him :) Furthermore, during our travel he became a true friend of us. Thumbs up, go ahead with booking :) Read less

We traveled with Yanak as a group of three friends from Austria for 11 days from Teheran, Kashan, Isfahan to Shiraz. Originally we were looking for a guide & driver, because of traveling convenience... very soon we realized that we found so much more in Yanak and that we could trust 100%
- his proposals & recommendations (for sights, hotels, restaurants, cafés .... way more than any guiding-book)
- cultural & historical knowledge
- empathy for his protégés
- sense of humor
- bargaining skills ;-)
- sense for quality & taste
- adventurous mind
- driving skills (!)
- ambition to make our trip just perfect !!

Yanak was more than a guide, i would rather describe him as friend who happened to be our “tour manager”!

The only thing we would do differently, would be to involve yanak from the very first moment in tour planning!!

I can recommend yanak 100% and I am looking forward to travel with him soon, wether it will be in the Iran again, Austria or any other place!

Best Regards Read less

We - a group of 3 travelers - spent 12 days on an Iranian round trip with Yanak and were amazed by his unbelievable organizational skills and his passion to show us everything his home country has to offer. The whole trip was very well prepared and started with Yanak picking us up at the airport. From then on we were taken care of 24/7 and wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore. Yanak fulfilled all our wishes and impressed us with all the knowledge he has about all the different sights we visited during our trip. Also all the recommendations regarding accommodation and restaurants were fantastic. Sometimes we picked hotels/hostels and restaurants from our Dumont travel book and every time we regretted not having gone with the recommendations of Yanak.

But most importantly over the whole trip were not the tour guiding skills of Yanak but his kind heart and his passion for what he is doing. Over the course of these 12 days Yanak became a true friend who we all appreciated very much.

I would rate him with 6 stars if possible and can only recommend everybody to choose him for your trip to Iran. Read less
