I read your travel report and I found it interestin. I'm happy you found Iran a so nice country. I went there in 2002 for my own (no tours) and I had the chance to get many invitation from people. Actually I have decided to go back again next February (during the religious festival of Ashoora since I have been told it is really interesting) so I'm happy to hear that all is like I was there: people are still friendly.

Hope you too will have the chance to come back in Iran for your own one day, so you can better enjoy the Iranian hospitality!
