A country which surprises you at every turn, kind and open people, amazing culture, and of course, last but not least, experimented and professional guides. Thanks to a good acclimatisation, a walking pace adjusted to our group and well-organized camps, we all managed to climb to the top of Damavand. For most of us it was the highest altitude we’ve ever reached. So, thank you guys for showing us how beautiful your mountains and cities are. I really hope I’ll return someday to see more of your surprising country and climb some more mountains! read less

Mit unser ambitionierten Planung in nur wenigen Tagen die meisten der bedeutenden Sehenswürdigkeiten auf Qeshm (die Mangroven, die Geopärke und die Korallen der Nachbarinsel Hengam) zu erkunden schafften wir es mit Alis Organisationstalent und seinen Kontakten zu lokalen Partnern sehr gut auch spontan – jeweils dem Wetter und den Umständen angepasst – die Tage optimal zu nutzen. Am Ende der Reise bleibt der gute Gefühl, neben den zielgerichteten Besuchen der beeindruckenden Natur-Sehenswürdigkeiten, auch die große Gastfreundschaft, die besondere Kultur im Süden Irans und die regionalen kulinarischen Spezialitäten (auf Qeshm vor allem Fischgerichte) sehr unkompliziert und schnell kennengelernt zu haben. Für die nächste Reise in Iran wird Cheetah Adventures auf jeden Fall der erster Ansprechpartner sein – dann vielleicht für eine längere Tour in der Wüste oder den Bergen. read less

Cheetah Adventures was recommended to us by some friends and it turned out to be the best choice. The communication was very fast, easy and prompt from the beginning. Thank you guys for answering all my questions (even the silly ones), for being so patient with our requests and the constantly changing number of our group, for writing so many e-mails and for the useful tips you gave us.

Part of our group wanted to try to climb Damavand and after that continue with a cultural trip and the other part joined several days later only for the cultural trip. So Cheetah Adventures had the tough task to make the best itinerary. And they made it- all the transportation, transfers, accomodations were perfectly organized and on time.

The Damavand climb (5671m) is not an easy one. Altough it was the end of June there was still a lot of snow, it was very windy and cold. It's was a steep and long climb. Without the help of Cheetah Adventures's team we couldn't make it. They helped us all the time, adjusted the pace, gave us breaks when we needed them most. I'll rememember Damavand with the beautiful views and the blossoming puppies.This is not the highest point I've reached but one of the most demanding.
After descending we spent a day in Rilneh village exploring the nearby waterfall, the old caves and hot spring swimming pool.

Our visit to Tehran, Kashan, Abyaneh, Isfahan, Shiraz, Persepolis showed us the beauty of the persian cities and culture. We were warmly welcomed everywhere and often greeted from people on the street with a big smile and "Welcome to Iran". In Shiraz we were even asked for an interview by the local TV chanel and made us feel like celebrities. Special thanks to our guide Ali for telling us so much about iranian culture, for his knowledge, flexibility and patience, for showing us so many beautiful places.
It was a quick glimpse but unforgettable trip! Hope to see you again! read less

Ein Bekannter in Österreich gab mir den Kontakt zu Ali und seiner Firma. Über Whats App und Mail war schnell Kontakt hergestellt und Ali wusste was uns wichtig war. Er stellte uns eine passende Reise zusammen. 4 Tage am Berg mit erfolgreicher Besteigung des Damawand. (Herzlichen Dank nochmals an unsere umsichtigen und sehr engagierten Mountainguide!). Danach folgten 8 Tage Kultur mit Besichtigungen von Yazd, Shiraz, Isfahan,.. und vielem mehr! Herzlichen Dank an unsre drivingguide Dame Nas! Sie war wunderbar! Gesamt gesehen ist das preis/leistungsverhältnis stimmig und ich würde Alis Firma bedenkenlos weiter empfehlen! read less

At first I was reluctant about traveling alone but my guide Mehrdad and the rest of the team made me feel included and were very friendly. Mehrdad was very responsible and a professional mountain climber. He took care of everything during the trek. The trek was planned very well and because of acclimatization I didn’t feel sick as we got higher. The beauty of Mount Damavand is unspeakable and we also saw the Caspian Sea from the peak. After we came back we went to this village and had a very delicious lamb kebab and relaxed in natural hot spring that felt very good after trekking for 4 days. We came back to Tehran later on and Maryam showed me around the city. She knew a lot about the history and showed me Golestan palace and Abgineh museum, told me about Qajar and Pahlavi kings and took me to a great restaurant in Tehran Bazaar. Cheetah adventures made my trip amazing and I want to thank everyone involved especially my guides Mehrdad and Maryam. I wish I had more time to stay in Iran but there will definitely be another trip to Iran for me. read less

Hard workers and well recommended.

Mornings were sunny and blue skied, and the scenery got progressively amazing and otherworldly as we approached Damavand . The trails were almost empty due to the end of summer , but it really paid off for us .
Damavand finally emerged in glorious sunshine. It really felt like the perfect trip.

Our guide ALI from CHEETA ADVENTURE looked after us superbly. The increases in altitude were managed perfectly, with one acclimatization day in the 2 days to Damavand . This was particularly reassuring when we met at least two or three groups who were escaping to lower levels sick from the altitude ! The pace was also spot on as we never felt overly tired (we were fit) or rushed.

Our guide ALI was a fountain of knowledge having done the trek for many years. He looked after our safety at the more hairy bits, being careful we knew where the path was loose or slightly precarious. We felt we were good friend by the end of the trip and were really sad to say goodbye. Thank you ALI for such an amazing trip! Our porter was also great company and we had a lot of fun in their company. read less

Mehrdad as our guide we had a wonderful trip. Highly recommend this company whether you are a very experienced hiker or not Mehrdad assessed our abilities and made sure we didnt push ourselves too hard as we reached higher altitudes. He ensured we were well fed and that we had lots of high sugar snacks for the final push to the summit which were essential. He anticipated all of our needs and was fantastic company. It was a very memorable trip. read less

Chances were that the weather wouldn't be optimal to do the trekking, but we decided to go for it. Ali from Cheetah Adventures informed us very well before the trip about what we could expect.

We had an amazing time. We couldn't climb Damavand until the summit because of heavy snow and winds, but nonetheless it was a crazy experience. Guide Ali just went with me and my wife and it was very cosy. He is a very experienced climber/mountaineer, so we trusted him all the way.
