Isfahan attracts with its history, architecture and special atmosphere at the intersection of Eastern traditions and urban life. The city is a convenient starting point for organized tours around the neighborhood, to the nearest cities and neighboring regions: from walks in the old quarters to day trips to the natural and ethno-cultural corners of the region. Here it is easy to build trips that will be full of discoveries and at the same time located within the available distance from the city.
In Isfahan itself and its suburbs, a collection of iconic sights is collected: Naqsh-i-Jahan Square and the Shah Cathedral Mosque, the elegant Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Ali Kapu Palace, Si-o-se-pol and Haju bridges, as well as the Chel Sotun Palace and old bazaars. In the excursion routes around the neighborhood, historical manufactories, the Armenian quarter of Julfa and local craft workshops are added - all within the nearest areas around the city.
The nature around Isfahan is diverse: along the Zayyande River run green coastal strips, where they arrange quiet walks and bird watching, and near the city stretch the sands and dunes of Varzane - a unique place for walking through desert landscapes and watching the sunsets. For outdoor activities, short hikes and walks along the foothills of Zagros, family picnics by the river and play areas for children in natural corners nearby are available.
A special attraction is the author’s and thematic routes with a visit to the workshops of artisans, meetings with local artisans, demonstrations of weaving, carpet weaving, miniature painting and pottery. Ethno excursions to nearby villages introduce crafts and everyday life, and relaxation programs offer immersion in the atmosphere of traditional baths and historical hammams to recuperate after a busy day of inspections.
Tours are organized in different formats: individual trips for those who love leisurely exploration, and group excursions for those who want to share impressions. Movement along the routes can be on foot, by car, by boat on Zayyanda or in the form of jeep-exit to the dunes of Varzane - the choice depends on the desired rhythm of the journey. Local guides are valuable for their author’s routes, deep knowledge of history and the ability to show little-known corners around Isfahan, which make each excursion unique.
