[QUOTE=mpescatori;559067] PROS: You do the REAL SILK ROUTE and SEE ALL THE SIGHTS; Iran is much better than anticipated and NO you do not need a guide, just a Carnet; you can go see the Derweze Burning Crater.

I'm afraid UK and US passport holders do need a guide for Iran  Surprisingly, it was something to do with our Governments imposing sanctions
We are currently on an around-the-world trip and wanted to go to Iran, but we've decided against it, and are now going North over the Caspian Sea, and then into the 'Stans, Russia and Mongolia. There are no carnets needed, and a lot of the visas are easy to apply for (lots of them are e-visas), save for the Russian visa, which was a bit of a headache. Good luck with the trip, whichever way you go!
