Comments from recent travelers on MIR's Journey Through Central Asia: The Five 'Stans:

"In my opinion, our MIR Tour Manager was the most outstanding tour manager I've ever traveled with, and he's the first tour manager I've ever traveled with that I would try to seek out to lead a trip again... he was exceptionally competent, energetic, enthusiastic, and hard-working.

I loved the whole trip. It satisfied all parts of me: the traveler, the scientist, the historian, the musician, the photographer, the human being. In many ways I think this was the most rewarding trip I've ever taken, and that is saying a lot. I put a lot into it, but I was given so much more in return. Thanks to everyone at MIR for making this possible. I am looking forward to traveling with MIR again."

Comments from recent travelers on MIR's Ancient Persia, Modern Iran:

"Our [MIR tour] guide was exceptionally good.  His lectures were above and beyond what we had anticipated.  He was kind and courteous.  He even served our meals and sometimes the meals of others so we would not have to wait.  He answered our questions, which were sometimes quite difficult.  He always looks trim and coordinated and I always felt quite secure with him."

"I had a great trip and VERY safe, I do not understand why people do not go there, it was most interesting. We had a fantastic tour guide -- extremely knowledgeable, I recommend him highly. The people were great, they wanted to speak English with us and were always very nice. In the tea house they put an American flag on our table."

"This was my fourth MIR Tour, I've come to expect excellence in every aspect of their tours and I wasn't disappointed - the entire tour was wonderful.  I enjoyed every day; the archaeological sites were very interesting and our guide really knew his history.  Isfahan is the most beautiful city I have ever seen.  I really enjoyed meeting the Iranian people, they are very friendly and outgoing."
