Iran is one of the most beautiful and historic countries in the world. It is therefore very important to know how and with whom you visit it.
Find a good driver guide in Iran
Finding a guide or driver-guide in Iran is a bit complicated. Choosing a guide or driver may seem simple at first, but Artimico advises you to consider some important points before choosing a guide-driver:
Driver:
If you are looking for a driver-guide with a car for your trip to Iran, pay attention to the following points:
Model of his car:
Some cars made in Iran are not suitable for long road distances and it is necessary to have certain standards.
So when someone offers you a low price, be sure to ask them about the type of car they have. For example, Pride, Tiba, and Quick, very common in Iran, are not suitable for long trips and do not have a large trunk for your belongings.
Find out about the features of the car to find out whether it has an air conditioning system or not. Having a car cooler or heater is very important in both summer and winter. The higher the model and price of the car, the higher the driver’s salary.
This also applies to vans. Chinese and Iranian vans are not very comfortable for long journeys in Iran. So, if you want everything to go smoothly, make sure the van model is Toyota Hiace or Hyundai.
Driver experience
You must have heard that Iranians drive badly. Unfortunately, this is true and some people do not follow the rules and drive badly. But a driver who has a lot of experience in driving and accompanying tourists drives very correctly, safely, and according to the rules so that his passenger does not feel in danger. So pay attention to the experience of the driver you choose and ask him how many foreign passengers he has accompanied.
Relative proficiency in English
We have many good and experienced drivers in Iran, but only some of them know foreign languages and have an official tour guide card. Regardless of your language and nationality, choose a driver with whom you can communicate verbally. He must know at least a little of the international language English.
Unfortunately, it was observed that a tourist, to pay less, chose a driver who not only did not know any foreign language but also did not have any tourist information about Iran, its attractions, and routes, which caused many problems for tourists. Your driver should know tourist etiquette and be mindful of stops along the way for rest and sightseeing.
Guide:
Perhaps many people will offer to accompany you as a guide during the trip or to a certain city, but there are three important points to consider:
Have a license
Legally, ordinary people are not allowed to accompany foreign travelers. So if you have a problem, this person without a card or license cannot help you.
Official and approved guides, having a guide card, have followed various courses and classes to learn how to accompany a tourist. They are familiar with the rules related to tourists and prohibitions, they have learned crisis management when problems arise, they know how to deal with travelers and can help you. They take care of you and have the duty to solve your problems during the trip to Iran.
Mastery of foreign languages:
Those who have a tour guide card will be tested for foreign languages and if they pass, they will receive a guide card.
Therefore, the person who freely accompanies you may not have the slightest knowledge of foreign languages and you may not be able to communicate well with him or her.
Know the attractions:
It is very important that the guide can explain the attractions to you. You can only travel to Iran once. Therefore, it is very important to become familiar with Iranian culture and art. So try to choose a guide map with useful information about historical monuments, rich Iranian culture, customs, etc.
