We had an amazing tour with Yousef in the desert. Yousef is super knowledgeable and tells nice stories . He is also an excellent driver and with very good taste in music (and nice boom box speakers in his car). He took us to the most beautiful spots in the desert. Besides being a golden tour guide, yousef is someone you can have a great laugh with . It immediately felt as if we known each other for many years. We had the best time with yousef in our entire trip! Thank you so much Yousef!

We didn't plan to go camping in the desert at first and we booked it at the last minute, but Yousef was very kind and patient and he explained the tour in great detail. On our camping day, he picked us up at our hostel. On our way to the desert, we stopped to do camel riding, walk on the salt lake and take a look at the majestic sand dunes. Apart from the natural landscape, we also enjoyed Yousef's amazing music playlist and the jokes he cracked (which he did very often and believe me, he's very very funny). He's also an excellent, experienced driver, and he made us feel safe too. At night, he made us a lot of tea and food, and he also introduced us to some locals nearby, making us feel welcome and well-received as tourists. This is my first camping experience in the desert; it may not be my last, but it will definitely be one of the most memorable experiences in my life. I can't recommend Yousef more, you'll definitely have a really nice experience camping with him.

To be honest I don’t know where to start to describe our days with Yousef. I wrote him when I was on the bus from Teheran to Kashan, he replied immediately and picked us up at the bus station. We started our tour in the desert right away. Excellent driver, knows the desert very well, cares about the environment (collected trash that we found on the way several times), brought us homemade food, water, and made us lots of tea. Moreover, it was very interesting to talk with him about Iranian culture, politics and language. As if this was not enough, he invited us for dinner at his parents’ place. Incredibly hospitable and kind parents, a very cute and funny brother, and delicious food. We enjoyed spending time with him so much that the next day we went on another tour with him: we picked saffron in a small village and visited a beautiful waterfall near Kashan. Again, Yousef took great care of us. He answered all of our questions, showed us around, and organized a delicious breakfast. And as if that was still not enough, we just asked him at what time the last bus to Isfahan would leave, and he called to make a reservation for us and even drove us to the bus station to buy the tickets. Then he dropped us in the center of Kashan and gave us a lot of recommendations on what to visit and where to eat. A very smart and reliable person. Thanks a lot Yousef!

I booked this an overnight tour into the Maranjab desert with Yousef. He instantly makes you feel welcome, at ease and ensures everybody has a good time. Yousef has a great personality and charisma. He is well managed and equipped for the tour. We enjoyed great sunset views on a salt lake, campig in the dunes under the stars, great food and conversation throughout the night. I cannot recommend Yousef enough for this tour, you will make a special friend in Iran.

From the moment Youssef picked us up we knew we were in for an amazing tour of Maranjab Desert. His energy, positive attitude and humour instantly made us feel like we had been long time friends. The tour itself was an experience i will never forget - driving through the dessert as the sun was setting with Youssef's music in the background made it very special. The food he made was the best vegetarian food i had the entire trip aswell as a special breakfast. Thank you Youssef for everything, will never forget 💖

You will not be disappointed when you book this stay with Yousef. He is not only experienced and knowledgeable about the local landscape, but he tailors the tour to your interests and needs. To top it off, he is great company and you'll undoubtedly share many laughs on the journey. Cannot recommend Yousef and this experience enough!

This is especially to Yousseff who we met by chance at the bazaar in Kashan. After talking a while we found out that he is a tour guide. My husband and I arrived in Kashan by motorcycle. But because of heat and traffic I was fed up with it and wanted to go to Isfahan by car or bus. "No Problem" was the answer of Yousseff and he arranged everything! Transfers, hotel, sightseeing stops on the way back. And the most stunning detail of all: he only had our Iranian phone Nr,and nothing else! Money was changing hands when we left Kahan three days later. Although we have not taken part at the Camp tour I can imagine how he is taking care of everything. You will definitely be in good hands!

My friends and I met a guy on a Bazaar in Tehran. He told us about an amazing dessert camping trip in Kashan and we decided to sign up, no idea what to expect. Yousef was great in communication, well organized and had a very open and friendly personality. We decided to trust him and let him take is to the dessert to stay the night. What an amazing experience, the salt lake is impressive as it seams endless. The food provided by Yousef and his Mom were very tasty and we all had a good night sleep. Waking up with a sunrise in the dessert was certainly one of the highlights of our Iran trip, definitely recommend going on a tour with Yousef, you won’t regret! Thanks for everything.. Cheers, Cees

We joined Youcef more or less spontaneously on a trip to the desert and didn't expect too much other than enjoying the sunset in the desert and hopefully a nice night sky full of stars. Well, we did not get the latter (clouds, booo), but instead we had a ridiculous amount of fun and silly laughter in our time together. First up, he is a great host, he knows what he's doing, we had a nice time in the desert,a great dinner around the fire, an interesting trip into a salt lake and things were generally well-organized. But much more importantly our time was so memorable because he is also an excellent entertainer with a big heart and countless to tell and jokes to share. Once we had taken our obligatory sunset/desert pictures and settled down around the fire, it was almost non-stop laughter, some more serious but no less interesting personal conversations until the moment we parted ways many hours later back in town. So thank you for the short but great time Youcef and I hope to see you soon and hear (or witness first hand...) another one of your crazy stories!
