Guestbook Testimonial and Trip Report - Italian Dream Team

Italy Dream Team - August 2012

Avventure nel Mondo

My name is Alessandra Mariani and I was the tour leader of an Italian group of "Avventure nel Mondo" during a trekking trip to Iran last August 2012.

We had an unforgettable experience during the climbing days on Damavand Mountain Guided Tour by Mr. Ardeshir Soltani and his guide team. Reliable and precise. We couldn't have reached the peak without the help of such professional, helpful and friendly people like them..

Soltani is an expert. We were 13 people with different experiences and different attitudes. Some of us had never climbed a peak before but finally we got it. The way is hard because of the altitude, but Mr. Soltani team knows every single foot of that ascent.

We had everything in terms of food and assistance for all the stay and we really felt "at home". Furthermore Soltani gave me a great help to organize even the rest of the tour and I didn't need to contact any other correspondent in the country.

I recommend his services to everybody (and wish even my parents go soon!) He gave me an image of Iran that was confirmed during all the rest of my tour: of a great country, with a warm romantic hospitality.
