Dear all,

I am planning to go to the Islamic Republic of Iran later this year and have contacted a few local travel agencies for tour rates. One of them has stated that as a British passport holder, I HAVE TO USE a tour agency and cannot travel around Iran under my own steam. Not living in the UK, I’ve contacted the Islamic Republic of Iran embassy in my country of residence, but they could not answer.

Does anybody know if this is the case, please?

Thank you
