For a uniquely Iranian experience, let Mohsen be your guide.
campagna recommends this,
For two weeks, Mohsen Hajisaeid was both driver and guide for my wife and I, giving us a personalized tour of Central Iran. It was my first visit to Iran, and Mohsen did a superb job in creating positive memories of our travel through the country.
During our adventure, Mohsen had a relaxed attitude while, at the same, was very attentive to our needs and took seriously the responsibility for our safety. He was both patient and flexible to our schedule and energy levels. He spoke excellent English, and provided a wealth of knowledge relating to an area’s history, culture, and customs.
Mohsen is proud of his country’s heritage and it shows through the positive energy he maintained when showing us Iran.
He also has an exceptional photographic eye, and took some excellent pictures and movies with my camera that I would be too afraid to even try.
For those wanting to explore Iran, I would highly recommend Mohsen as a guide. From traditional tourist spots, to experiences uniquely Iranian, Mohsen can help you create a memorable trip of this exotic land.

Second verse, not the same as the first.....
exdemedici recommends this,
My second trip to Iran in two years is due to the extra effort put in last year by erstwhile guides Mohsen Hajisaeed and Pegah Latifi. This second tour, an extension of last year (Tehran-Yazd-Shiraz-Shakr-e-Kord- Isfahan- Tehran), was more revealing and personally tailored this year. Mohsen and Pegah pulled many rabbits out of the hat to accommodate my particular areas of interest. I am a professional artist and have specific interests in the research I undertake when making new work. Mohsen organised time to work on the ledge of the dome of the wonderful Jameh Mosque overlooking the old city of Yazd, on other rooftops where I could work without interruption, in the desert environments of Kerman and the stunning Kaluts, Zen-o-Din Caravanserai...again in order to produce work whilst in country. Not only did Mohsen enable the location organisation, but also organised meetings with traditional Persian calligraphers and contemporary artists, patiently driving me to galleries and artist studios in Tehran (Tehran traffic teaches any driver patience and daring skills).
I cannot recommed Mohsen and Pegah more highly for any english-speaking traveller...beautiful manners, great company, patient translation skills, great organisation and fixers of all problems. I felt absolutely looked after, a great luxury in a foreign place without Farsi (which grows less foreign with each wonderful encounter). A highlight of this trip was an introduction to the subtle methodologies of the Persian mind and family construct. I hope to return again next year to spend more time with the Hajisaeed and Latifi families and travel the western border of this most fascinating and fabulous country. -
Tour guide of all guides...
lrasp recommends this,
Mohsen’s welcome to Iran is an irresistible mix of Iranian pride, showmanship and consummate professional guidance. Mohsen introduced us to historical and cultural perspectives of Iran with at once ease, enthusiasm, purpose and charm that could move Iranian mountains - let alone any hindering individuals or circumstances. The idea with Mohsen is to trust you’re in the best hands – for you are – and relax and enjoy Iran and Iranians as portrayed by him. Mohsen paints a memorable picture, one you hope to revisit. Thank you Mohsen for your individual passion, professional commitment, and unforgettable Iranian experience. Luisa, Australia, 10-25/9/11.

Recommended as a highly qualified tour guide

We got to know Mohsen on the Trans-Asia-Train from Istanbul to Teheran. He gave us some helpful tips for our travelling across Iran. When we finally arrived at Yazd he helped us to find a wonderful hotel- a restored caravanserai.He invited us to his house where we were offered a fine Iranian dish. He took us up to the mountains where we spent a whole day with him , his wife and his friends. So we had the chance to get to know private life in the country of the mullahs. (For example: He invited us to his brother´s birthday party. Mohsen accompanied us for three days and showed us the most important sights around Yazd. Mohsen arranged everything for us and gave important information. He is an expert of his mothercountry´s history and tradition. It was good to have him around - he became a real friend.

I cannot imagine a better travel guide for Iran than Mohsen
horak recommends this,
Mohsen's wide and detailed knowledge about Iran's history and culture, together with his organisational skills, total reliability, excellent English and charming personality (great sense of humour), provided us with an unforgettable and care-free introduction to his beautiful country. With his passion for Iranian culture and his very perceptive awareness of our needs and interests he tailored a trip that exceeded our very high expectations, organising delightful surprises along the way like an unexpected picnic in a scenic spot. Mohsen is extremely well connected, and travelling with him means special attention in hotels and restaurants. He also is an excellent driver and we always felt totally safe which is no mean feat in Iran's chaotic traffic. In short, Mohsen was a travel companion rather than a tour guide, and we are telling all our friends to travel through Iran with him.
