About

I started guiding tours as a teenager, guiding groups on mountain trails. It was a passion instilled in my by my parents who took me along in their adventures in nature and told me all sorts of stories about people and places we visited. This made me realise there is a lot more to a place we visit than what we initially see and to this day, this is what I strive for in my tours: getting to those deeper stories and cultural aspects of the place I take people to.

While working as a product manager, I continued hosting tours and earned official training in eco-tourism and cultural guidance. My experience as an engineer has greatly impacted the organization and management of my tours.

As of 2013, I’ve been living and working in Melbourne. Here, I’ve founded Culture Quest Tours to shift my focus fully to tourism. I’ve been proving day tours of the city’s natural and cultural attractions for years and now I’m working on expanding to the other places around the world via online experiences starting from my home country of Iran.
