The other Iran 
Awesome, would you be able to organise a guide around Tehran?
Hi James, I am unfortunately not in Iran to help you. I am also lacking the qualifications for a guide. On my blog you can however find some inspiration under: https://theotheriran.com/tag/travel/ or if your focus is on Tehran:

I am sure you will find qualified professional guides at least for the big cities. I hope that you find a good guide and enjoy your trip.
Thank you
You are very welcome. Hope the links are a good inspiration.
