Silk
Road Tours
by Natalie Forstbauer
Mystique, adventure,
history and hospitality await those who venture to Iran and the middle
East with Silk Road Tours. Silk Road Tours is the leader in tour operators
to Iran and the Middle East. They are helping people rediscover the
wonder and beauty of a place long forgotten and forbidden. Until a mere
three years ago Iran was not open to tourists. For 20 years Iran’s
doors were sealed shut. This leading edge company is the only one to
offer and specialize in package tours to Iran. To say they are well
connected is an understatement. Everything is looked after when booking
with Silk Road Tours; your meals, entertainment, tours, entry visas
– everything! They are well established and connected with the
Embassy, hotels, tour companies and local merchants. Silk Road Tours
has taken special care to ensure people’s safety, comfort and enjoyment
in their visits to Iran and the Middle East. They are committed to excellence.
“Many agencies know them by name.”
Hossein Lofti is
the founder and President of Silk Road Tours. A former civil engineer
he spent 12 years working in Iran after completing his schooling in
England and the United States of America. While in Iran he was enveloped
by a deep desire to show the world, North Americans specifically, how
“warm and hospitipal” the people of Iran are. He developed
a keen interest to share the history of Silk Road with travelers. With
enthusiasm and compassion he describes the history and importance of
“Silk Road”, “Nobody knows about Silk Road and how it
traveled through Iran. Iran served as a junction and intersection for
the traders and travelers who took the journey. It is rich in history”
He is passionate
about taking people to Iran and the Middle East to discover and explore
the magic wonder of Silk Road. The historic Silk Road itself dates back
to 123 B.C.E (Before the Current Era). People would trade goods, services
and knowledge along this famous route from the eastern waters of China
all the way to the western waters of Europe. It was common for this
journey to take up to 3 years! Iran served as an important intersection
for Silk Road. People from all over the world would gather to mingle,
trade and share information.
Hossein and his
team receive rave reviews from enthusiastic customers who say their
“experience exceeded their expectations”. Silk Road Tours
goes the extra mile to ensure your travel is taken care of from the
moment you begin your adventure until the moment you are home. Hossein
has taken time to build relationships with local tour operators in Iran
and neighboring countries to ensure premium service. Silk Road Tours
itself owns many local travel agencies through out the Middle East,
and over 30 of the top 5, 4, and 3 star hotels.
