Sounds like you had an amazing trip, and you're lucky you took the opportunity and went when you did. The cost of a private tour makes it expensive to go for a long time, and I wish we could have spent even more time there. I'm glad you were able to go for so long.

Your experience with the various tour companies sounds familiar. The level of professionalism certainly isn't there for some of these companies. Glad you had a great guide and many authentic experiences with the locals.



We've never had SSSS on our boarding passes in the 10 months since our Iran trip. Not that we're hiding anything, but I don't think the US has it anywhere in their system that we went to Iran. The CBP kiosk knew we were coming in from Doha on a QR flight. They no longer use the blue forms where you write in the countries you visited.
