The beauty is incomprehensible 😢
✨🙏🏽❤
Thank you Rick, for your messages of peace. And also, for the invaluable documentation of historical sites that have been destroyed.
This is an awesome interesting look at Iran.👋
Your channel is very important. I remember watching this when it was released back then. Sad how things have turned out since. Hope peace will prevail ❤
unfortunately, not going to touch Iran with a 1000km pole
No signs of life in millions of light years around us, but here we are fighting over what at the end of the day is nothing.
Our ambassador is back! Hello Rick and thank you for your message!
is this a reupload?
Rick Steves you and your team remind me that there are still decent and thoughtful humans.
Alaska sized😮
That programme was a real insight into Iran, an eye opener. So sad that things gave gone downhill in recent times. Such a lovely land, such kind people and such a cultured place.
Americans are not welcome in Persia!
Americans enter sovereign foreign countries to instigate troubles, and to loot resources. Agents of the U.S. empire masquerading as 'journalists' and 'tourists'.
Iran is not in Europe.
Neither Rick Steves, (Americans in general) know world geography, nor Americans care about the lives of the great Iranian people!
Thank you Rick!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
👏
Since when is America one of Irans neighbours? Pretty sure it’s like on the other side of the world and has absolutely no right to be bombing and murdering their people but hey…
They declared Israel the 51st state way back then. It's so clear now, how right they were.
I've always rejected the idea of having a public figure as a hero or idol, but there are a less than handful of people I greatly admire and Rick is one of them.
Those group of college students, jeez. I sure hope they're ok.
Beauty ❤❤
