    **Important Notice**
    Exceptional travel journalism. Very well done and mindful of Iranian traditions. Documenting this illustrious country can be a slippery-slope at times. It's important for people to know the great scale of Iranian contributions to the world since the beginning of time. This didn't need to be political and it wasn't, it was merely outlined for viewer enlightenment.

    A Exceptional Travel Piece on Iran that Gives Real Insights into the Culture and People.
    FIrst, what this is not. It is not a political treatise of any kind. Rick Steeves does what he always does, travel journalism. He shows us what it is like to be a visitor in the country. He meets the people, sees the sights, eats the food. It is incredible thing and so different from what both governments would have us believe. You need to watch this!

    Rick Steven's Iran
    This was a really nice work. In today's US politics when the media is trying to present Iran as an "axis of evil", it is nice to see Mr Stevens show the true face of Iran & Iranians.

    very well done!
    Rick Steves does an admirable job navigating the cultural and political minefield that this topic presents. This is truly citizen diplomacy, featuring real conversations with real people, as well as a noble effort to offer insight into the history and culture of Iran. This feels more like a real country than anything I've seen on news programs, which only want to present conflict. Well worth watching!
