On 1997 the two young guys with having years of experiences in tourism established “Gardeshgaran Shiraz Travel Agency” and start their profession as both outgoing and incoming tours, it was one of the first incoming tour operators in shiraz.
10 years after that, 2007, Mohamad friendlyiran’s CEO, decided to open the second branch “Gardeshgaran Shahr-e Raz Shiraz” and since he was interested a lot in incoming tours, the second office day by day became more successful in Iran incoming field and has been titled as the best incoming tour operator in Iran. Mohamad himself has studied MBA and his PH.D. is in Business Administration (DBA), although he has finished his education, he is always interested in learning new things and updating his information.
