I started guiding more than twelve years ago and built my career around adventure, culture, and honest travel storytelling. I launched Persian Tourism Service (PTS) in Iran, learned directly from travelers on the ground, and registered the company in the Netherlands in early 2025 to serve European guests better. My focus is simple: make travel smooth, meaningful, and good value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The PTS Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PTS (known as Persian Tourism Service) began with small, well-designed trips across Iran\u2019s deserts, mountains, and heritage cities. We operated special, small-group tours with clear logistics and human service. Over the years, we <strong>hosted many European travelers<\/strong>, from backpacking couples to multi-generational families. We also <strong>worked with <a href=\"https:\/\/pts.travel\/about-us\/\">international volunteers<\/a><\/strong> on content and local projects, which helped us grow a strong network of reliable partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the way, we produced <strong>multilingual travel content<\/strong> that showed real life inside Iran. Articles, short videos, and route notes helped travelers prepare with facts, not stereotypes. This habit of clear, useful information still shapes how the Persian Tourism Service works today. After moving our formal base to the Netherlands, we kept the same spirit and expanded our offer for European travelers across multiple destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What We Do Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>PTS Travel,<\/strong> we keep things focused on three pillars: <strong>tours, transfers, and travel picks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pts.travel\/trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">operate our own small-group adventure tours<\/a><\/strong> when they add real value. Groups stay small, routes are tested, and experiences feel local.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ptstravel.mozio.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">provide reliable airport and city transfers<\/a><\/strong> to remove stress on travel days. Guests get clear instructions, on-time pickups, and support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We share <strong>smart travel picks<\/strong>: practical advice, ready-to-use itineraries, and recommendations for travel and camping gear that actually help on the road.<br>Everything we publish or operate is built for European travelers who want comfort, authenticity, and efficient planning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience and Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I started as a certified guide, designing cultural-nature trips and leading guests through remote areas. Media work and field production taught me to communicate clearly and plan precisely. Here you can find my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@PersianTourism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/strong> I now live in the Netherlands and study Tourism and Hospitality Innovation at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buas.nl\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Breda University<\/a> (BUas), Croatia, and Spain. These studies strengthened my skills in outdoor hospitality, destination marketing, and sustainable operations. I still spend time in the field testing routes, meeting suppliers, and listening to guest feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Values and How We Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our style is practical and human. We answer fast, set clear expectations, and choose partners who respect people and places. Trips balance highlights with quiet moments, and we keep budgets under control without lowering standards. Sustainability guides choices such as transport modes, group size, and local sourcing. The goal is to help you travel better and feel more connected to each destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PTS Travel aims to be a <strong>helpful companion<\/strong> for European travelers. When a tour makes sense, we run it with care. When you plan independently, we support you with clean transfers and useful picks that save time and money. We want every guest to finish a trip with good memories, practical skills for future journeys, and a few stories worth sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full
