OUR TOURISTS COMMENTS:
"Harold Nicholson once wrote 'fields of gold, hills of amethyst and two thousand years of silence' when describing Iran.
How apt, - but it does not illicit the fragrance of orange blossom in Shiraz, the magnificent tribal and woven rugs, the blues in the mosques of Esfahan, the excitement of finding fossils in the Zagros Mountains and the overpowering sense of history found while visiting Persepolis.
Maureen and Harry have a great knowledge and love of the country, and their tour for us will always be a highlight in our memories"

"We had mostly wanted to see the ruins of Persepolis, but there were so many other sights to enjoy we returned for a second time. It is ancient; it is interesting ; it is different; it is safe."
Edward & Barbara Price,
Ontario , Canada.
"A wonderful trip. The small group was nicely informal and did not overwhelm the locals so that contact was warm and friendly. The variety, the guides and accomodation were first class."
John Weston,
Cambridge UK.
"Iran, a must country to visit with its history of civilisations and their well preserved remnants (Persepolis is a gem), the architecture and mosaics of mosques, the attractiveness of the arid terrain and mountain ranges, the beauty of many towns and cities, especially Isfahan and Shiraz, and the friendliness of the people. One visit is not enough ; we returned for a second time."
Ian and Erica Speden,
Lower Hutt, NZ.
"Iran is an Islamic country full of history - way back even before Christ! It's an eye opener for a Malaysian to visit the origin of the Islamic civilisation".
Tan Sri, Dato, Hj, Dr. Ahmad Azizuddin,
Ipoh, Malaysia.
"We have just returned from the most wonderful tour we have ever experienced. Our escorts lived in Iran for 20 years when Harry was leading oil exploration surveys Also he has lectured extensively at many Universities in Iran. The tour took in not only historical sites and places of interest but also we were given a unique tour of the Zagros Mountains where we searched for fossils and were made aware of the geological significance and history of the region.We had plenty of time to shop, we dined for lunch and most dinners at local restaurants, but most of all our escorts could speak the Persian language , were well versed in the history of Persia and took us to remote villages and nomad camps where we gained experience in the local customs and everyday life of those polite, very friendly people. A unique and first class tour in every respect, relaxed, thoroughly enjoyable and ALL expenses were pre-paid, so we were not continually paying for extras, even water was included! We consider that this tour with the McQuillans is a Must.
Julie and Alastair Rose,
Nelson, New Zealand.
For the first time traveller or experienced visitor to Iran Harry and Maureen McQuillan's tours are unique. Extensive time to explore and shop and to enjoy the Iranian people and beautiful historic sights !
Outstanding experience.
