Iran Visa
I just saw on a Iran Visa website that as of 31 March Canadian and UK passports now require full government sponsored tours to be booked before a visa can be issued. (ala US passports)
I only saw this on 1 site, so not sure how true it is. Sadly all I have are CA and UK passports so if its true, I guess my idea of Iran in December has just been axed.

For five nights accommodation, having a car/driver for five full days, all meals except dinner, all entrance fee's, organising the visa reference number (but not cost of actual visa) and airport pickup & drop off, it was $820.
Going rate of driver/guide in Iran is $100 a day, so $820 was not bad.
Travelling independently is cheaper, but for only 5 days it was a great way to see a lot of the country in a short time. Obviously cheaper if it is more than one person too.

They are one of the main agencies according to the Lonelyplanet book.
