When I travel to Turkey with a travel agency, I ask is there aku tour package to Iran? Answered by the travel guide that Iran is an insecure country and the country has no route to that country. Then, two years ago, I intend to go to Iran. See with your own eyes. I did not find what was said by the travel agent. A pleasant and memorable trip.
