..the trick was mapping and planning our trip by S.H. Journey from the get-go.
This trip was one of the best experiences in my travels. It was an immersion into another culture; it was gaining an appreciation of the beauty of Cuba and its people. You can clearly see the resilience of Cubans to live with hardship and still amaze you with their country's dance, art, color, food, music, and natural beauty. There was no attempt to hide the old mansions falling into ruins or policies failing for some. It was all in full display, with people openly sharing how they farmed, wrapped cigars, enjoyed a fashion show, or mixed the most amazing rum drinks. However, the trick was mapping and planning our trip by S.H. Journey from the get-go.

I have experience-based and caring suggestions, making it easy for your company to be my family's travel advisor!
Sima Jan, I am so grateful that the universe and a good friend brought you into my life as my guardian angel for international travel. I have been trying to serve as a travel planner for my family of four, and each time, it's like a trauma for me trying to make arrangements that will make everyone happy in places I have not been to before. I envied men with wives who made all vacation plans for themselves and their kids, and they could enjoy and pay. With S.H. Journey, I don't need a "wife."!! I have experience-based and caring suggestions, making it easy for your company to be my family's travel advisor. Thank you so much for the delightful travels you have gifted me and my family.

Sima demonstrates her commitment to high standards
Sima is an extraordinary human being and she happens to be superb at this job. People that work with her on travel adventures are lucky. Initially, I sought Sima out. Actively researched until I was given her name as a recommendation. My husband and I wanted to travel in Iran and wanted an expert to help us navigate the trip. We had a superb experience. I am happy to discuss our experience in detail if anyone wants to understand why it was so. Recently, we wanted to go to Egypt and Jordan. Again, Sima made the connections, vetted the agent connections and she made sure that we were taken care of throughout the trip. It was a fascinating trip,- even better than we had imagined it could be. My view: everyone should see, if they can, the 5,000 year old trail of engagement left by the Pharaohs. Sima demonstrates her commitment to high standards for interacting in all her interactions. It is a pleasure to experience. Sima also has great judgement. Critical for traveling into the unknown. You will be lucky to work with her.

Thank you Sima & S.H. Journey. I truly believe that our trip would not have been so fantastic without your expertise.
I wanted to share our unforgettable and magical trip arranged by Sima Hashemifar (S. H. Journey) to our motherland. The most knowledgeable tour guide that made all the difference. European tourists are all over the place. Even Chinese get their visa stamped in their passport at the airport. Dollar goes so far. Tourism in Iran is doing much better than before. Thank you Sima & S.H. Journey. I truly believe that our trip would not have been so fantastic without your expertise.

We returned home from Iran with great memories to cherish for many years to come. I highly recommend S.H. Journey.
January 2017, we took a Private tour to Iran with S.H. Journey. There were 5 of us and we visited Tehran, Abyaneh, Kashan, Esfahan, Shiraz, and Yazd. Sima and her team here and in Iran made sure we were truly taken care of. From the start with getting our proper paperwork or necessary visas for some of us, she was very helpful. During our journey, our private car was very safe and comfortable for all of us and our luggage, and every hotel we stayed at, was the best with the best service. The tour guides and drivers were very professional. They accommodated us the best way possible. They were flexible and super pleasant. Everything went very smoothly from the pick up to drop off. They were very organized and made sure we see the sightseeing sites, eat at good restaurants and are comfortable on a daily basis. We returned home from Iran with great memories to cherish for many years to come. I highly recommend S.H. Journey.

Sima and her in-country team achieved the impossible: to get an independent American traveler (me) into Iran! They said it couldn't be done outside of a group, but S.H. Journey made it happen. Better yet, they found the perfect guide for the three week, 4000km journey. 65 countries so far, and this was the best trip of my life. Thank you Sima, Ehsan and Pouyan.

The creativity of an artist, the precision of an engineer, the experience of a savvy traveler, and her passion for service makes Sima of SH Journey the ideal journey designer!
In the midst of creating her own complex tour this past summer, Sima acted with amazing speed after she and I decided on my destination during a sabbatical trip I was about to take. Literally within 17 minutes I had my tickets and tour material emailed to me and I was on my way to a very very memorable Spain/Morocco/Portugal tour in a week. The creativity of an artis, the precision of an engineer, the experience of a savvy traveler and her passion for service makes the Sima of S.H. Journey an ideal voyage designer! She is kind, easy to work with and experienced. What more can one ask for?!

In spite of the different budgets, Sima was able to negotiate a package for us, which worked for everyone while didn't compromise the quality of the trip and experience.
A few members of my family and I wanted to go on a Safari in Tanzania to celebrate a milestone birthday and cross out a major item off of our bucket list. In spite of the different budgets, Sima was able to negotiate a package for us, which worked for everyone while didn't compromise the quality of the trip and experience. Most importantly, given her extensive experience in the travel world, I trusted her judgment and felt totally taken care of. With much gratitude to Sima Hashemifar at S.H.

"Expanding our hearts, minds and spirit, and bridging our worlds"
This is how I felt the entire time I was in Iran with my American friend, and we just can't stop talking about how transformative the trip was now that we are back in America. Deep appreciation and gratitude to Sima and her travel team for the special care and attention that went into organizing our fabulous trip.

The amount of enthusiasm she puts into planning the trips makes you feel like you are a part of her family.
My family and I feel so lucky to get to know Ms. Sima at S. H. Journey. Last year we worked with her for the first time and had one of the most amazing trips of our lives to Costa Rica. Let me just mention a couple reasons that we decided to ask Ms. Sima to plan our trips: 1. She has gone to the most of the places in the itinerary that she designs for you and that is very important. 2. The amount of enthusiasm she puts into planning the trips makes you feel like you are a part of her family and the only reason is that her work is her passion and that she enjoys her job. 3. She listens to you very carefully with wisdom and patience in order to figure out your trip objectives and then she plans accordingly. 4. Each time you call, her warm and trusting voice from the other side of the phone is soothing; a quality that makes you comfortable about your trip. 5. She is very flexible in case your plans change. We are looking forward to have her as our mentor as well as a good friend for traveling around the world!

Never did we have to wait for transportation or stay in long lines to visit any of the sites as Sima had made all the necessary arrangements with the local tour companies.
I had heard many good stories about the vacation cruises that Sima organizes but it wasn't until I took the Mediterranean cruise with her this past summer that I realized how true they all are. The ship that she had chosen was a first class ship with high end cabins and gourmet dining at a very reasonable price. She had arranged for excellent land excursions at every port with knowledgeable and entertaining tour guides. Never did we have to wait for transportation or stay in long lines to visit any of the sites as Sima had made all the necessary arrangements with the local tour companies. What differentiates Sima at S. H. Journey with other travel advisors is her attention to details and the care and love she puts in for every individual in the group. I have found my travel Planner!

I'd like to thank S. H. Journey for being instrumental in creating the memories that will never be forgotten!
If you want to have the most extraordinary experience on a trip, I'd definitely recommend Sima. My family and I have had sima make all our travel arrangements for many years. She always goes above and beyond to make sure we get the best deal and best experience. Her tours and cruises are amazing for sure. Sima plans everything perfectly and is always on top of every detail. The hotels she chooses are the best. She always selects the most educated and knowledgeable local tour guides. My family and I went to Costa Rica on one of Sima's tours last year. The trip was very organized from the resorts to adventures. The activities were amazing!! We did water rafting, zip lining, rappelling down the waterfalls, and once again Sima brought together an extraordinary group of people for that trip. I am going to continue going on the tours and cruises that Sima puts together because I can't see myself traveling any other way. I'd like to thank S.H. Journey for being instrumental in creating the memories that will never be forgotten!
