And of course I’ll do this for free! This means that I won’t charge you. All you need is to grab your backpack and walk with me along the streets of Tehran. That’s how our journey begins.
I will show you some interesting parts of Persian culture and historical sites, for example, museums, coffee shops, restaurants, nature spots, galleries, streets of interest, or entertainment areas.
Each time we go to different places and see different things, it depends on who is joining. Sometimes we go hiking in the mountains just north of Tehran. So, pack your day packs and join these events!
I normally do one tour a week. On daytime on Persian weekends (that is Thursday and Friday) and all other days only evenings, 5-10 PM.
The tour date and time is decided upon request.
Do not hesitate to make a request or ask me questions on
Looking forward to hear from you! Just please bring me a postage stamp or something else from your country as a memory!
I did the free walking tour with Abbas in Teheran. It was a pleasure to meet him! He has a great knowledge about the city and the country in general! he showed me nice places to stay and told me a lot about the Iranian culture. He introduced me to his family as well. They were lovely!! They prepared a super good dinner and their hospitality was overwhelming. Totally recommend to stay with him!! Nice greets to you, Abbas :-)
This was my first time in Iran, and I could not have chosen a better guide than Abbas. He is very well-spoken and extremely knowledgeable of his country’s history and geography—he conducts his tours in a professional and friendly manner and is always on time for meeting you. I’ve also found Abbas to be very light-hearted and well-humored person who is so keen to show the beauty and charm of his wonderful country, Iran!
Meeting Abbas was a great pleasure! As we had already seen the major sights of Tehran, he showed us some more "hidden" places. He told us a lot about the history and culture of Iran and about the religious life in the past and nowadays. After the tour we joined Abbas and another traveller spontaneously for a visit to the "roof of Tehran" and dinner at a traditional kebab-restaurant. We warmly recommend exploring Tehran with Abbas, as he is very knowledgeable, friendly, humorous and helpful!
I did the tour together with some friends and Abbas in the evening shortly after arriving at the hotel. My idea to do a free walking with tour was a late idea and I organized it with Abbas just a day or two before arriving in Iran. Abbas was quick to respond and the tour was easily organized despite the short notice. The tour itself was informative, flexible and easy going. We visited some main sights, took the subway, the bus and got a good feel for what it might be like to live in Tehran. The highlight of the tour was definitely the outside food market where we enjoyed kebabs and got to meet some locals. Can definitely recommend a tour with Abbas.
Abbas was my tour guide in Tehran. He is very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. We had a great time visiting the city. When I come back to Tehran, we should definitely meet up.
Abbas is an excellent host! He helped me and my friend a lot, he showed us the parts of Tehran which were of our interest, we had very delicious breakfasts with him. Thanks to Abbas, we got to know a bit of Hafiz's and Rumi's poetry. As he says in his motto: know Tehran like a local, this experience has really been how he says in his motto. Highly recommended tour guide in Tehran! Hope to see you later again! ;)
I had the opportunity to go to a Free Walking Tour with Abbas and it was a fantastic experience. Our tour lasted 10 hours and I didn't had the impression to be in a tour but to be going out with long known friends:). Abbas has a deep culture and gave us a lot of information on Tehran and the history of Iran but also on everyday life. We also visited the coolest bookshop ever and had a lot of fun visiting Tehran. Sepas gozaram for the beautiful day, hope to see you in Sicily in future!
Abbas is the nicest guy! I had a great time with him. He even picked me up from my hostel and joined 10 h with me. He showed me Tehran and told me a lot about the Iran culture. So I have a great first impression of Iran! I you have the possibility to join some time with Abbas you have to do it! Mersi, Abbas! Hope to welcome you in Berlin one day :-)
Abbas is the definitely your free walking tour guide for Tehran! Contact him and he’ll very pleasantly talk with u about the options and possibilities there are to explore Tehran. He knows all about the city and also about Iranian Literature & Poetry. We had an amazing & interesting evening together and can highly recommend him! :)
Abbas was a perfect guide. He told and showed us so many things we wouldn’t have discovered on our own! Besides that he is a very generous, friendly, funny and entertaining person,we just had a lot of fun hanging around! :) thanks, Abbas!
Even though I foolishly booked my tour on a day when everything was closed Abbas made still manged to find a bunch of great places for us to check, out all while teaching me a lot about Iranian culture and history. He's a true gentleman and an interesting guy. Thanks Abbas!
Abbas showed us around in Iran and told us so much about Iran and its music, art and history! After a nice walk we had some really good Persian food. If you go to Tehran, ask Abbas for a very interesting walking tour :)
We had a great time with Abbas in Tehran! He guided us through some very interesting places, and through talks with him and his friends we got a deeper insight in Iranian life. And he's a very cool guy! Thank you man! :)
We did the free walking tour with Abbas in Tehran. He was very flexible and spontaneous, picked us up at our hostel, showed us around and gave us lots of information. We went to a few nice places and ate in a local restaurant. He is very friendly and helpful. Thank you Abbas!
Our tour with Abbas passed the former us embassy and the artist quarter. After that we became hungry and he led us to a good traditional restaurant. The reason for the five stars are actually Abbas helpfully character: he helped us getting an Iranian Simcard an a train ticked to Yazd, as well. Really sympathic!
I spent two days exploring the magnificent city of Tehran with my now new friend Abbas! Abbas was so knowledgeable and informative on the information and history of not only Tehran but Iran in general. I highly recommend Abbas to anyone coming to visit Tehran :) thank you Abbas!
Abbas is a really nice and warm guy and he was really helpful in order to help me and my partner to become familiar with Tehran. Thanks to his tour, we found out really lovely and authentic parts of the city, like the Gallery of the Iranian young artist and the museum of the Iranian cinema, and we got known of facts and curiosity about the capital and Iran in generally!
City tour on the 2th of September with Iranian Guide Abbas was amazing . Educated , decent , helpful guy show me real Tehran . I recommend him to all tourists and travellers who will visit Iran . My thanks to you Abbas
Doing a free tour of Tehran with Abbas was a great experience. It didn't feel so much like a tour. More like exploring a city with a friend. He has an honest and genuine feel and was good to chat to and even share a meal with. I would recommend everyone who goes to Tehran to meet with Abbas as he loves meeting people and showing them the city he lives in and is proud of.
Abbas is a very personable young man and good company. Highlight of my trip to Tehran was a short hike he brought me on in Darband with lunch afterwards at the food court on Tabiat Bridge. Best way to see the real Tehran! Highly recommended.
I met Abbas right after arriving in Tehran. He took me, another traveller and a group of his friends to see an exhibition at the museum for contemporary art and after that we went for a typical lunch at an Iranian restaurant. The time I spent with him was amazing and he explained to us so many things and told us so many curiosities about Iran. If you have the chance to meet him I can only recommend it! You will have a great time with him.
Abbas took us to a exhibition in the Iranian artist forum and to so many other places we would have been missing or not understand without him. He explained us a lot of interesting things in Tehran and about Iran. We went to a cafe is spent a very nice time together. If you have the chance, meet him!
Abbas is an unbelievable nice host. He invited me for dinner and to stay at his place. I really enjoyed his personality and his kindness in Teheran! Definitely would stay again.
In this blog I am writing anything about Iran and about what it’s like travelling to this country. My hope is that you may learn some Iranian culture and how to solve typical problems arriving to foreign visitors here.
