Dear Arara Team, 

Thank you for arranging our Georgia and Armenia tour. We had been interested in the Caucasus for some time, and this itinerary gave us a good opportunity to see both countries in one trip. Georgia was a particular favourite. We loved walking around Tbilisi, visiting the mountains near Kazbegi and spending time in Kakheti. The wine tasting was a nice surprise and one of the experiences we will remember most. Armenia was quite different and we enjoyed visiting Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap and Noravank. Ani, our Armenian guide, was very knowledgeable and explained the history of the sites well. The itinerary does involve some long driving days, but it was worth it as eventually we ended up being at magnificent sites with wonderful sceneries. Our drivers were excellent, very experienced, careful and considerate. We are very happy that we chose to visit Georgia and Armenia and would certainly recommend the region and the tour company to travellers interested in history, culture and scenery.

We booked a trip with an international tour company which got cancelled last minute. We were lucky enough to find Arara and our manager, Ani, who offered us to join their  9-day Georgia-Armenia tour. 

I am so glad we could sort out our tour plans last minute, both countries were in our bucket list for several years. 

The tour was very well-planned. The border crossing from Georgia to Armenia wasn't difficult, so by the end of the day we were energetic, and we walked around the city in the evening. Everyone in the group was very friendly and kind. The guides were terrific and absolutely perfect at their job, probably the best ones we have every had after visiting more than 100 countries. The hotels were good and centrally located. We enjoyed the trip very much and will certainly visit the 5 Stans of Central Asia with Arara next year. Thank you Ani and Arara for the great arrangements and especially assisting us with all our stressful requests last minute. 

Hi, Ani! I'm writing to thank you. The five Central Asian countries have always been on my bucket list to visit. I changed my mind every time because of the flights—it was a bit long, but now, when I was already returning home, I realized I shouldn't have put off the trip; it was truly worth it. Learning about ancient traditions and meeting the locals was an incredible feeling that will always accompany me. The most vivid impression was definitely the Darvaza gas crater. Crossing the border can be a bit chaotic and time-consuming, but our guides prepared us well. Overall, great experience.
