Serdar

I booked the 31 days Silk Road tour to the 5Stans of Central Asia and the Caucasus with Arara. There were a few other companies covering the 2 regions but I luckily chose Arara, a local company with great experience in arranging Caucasus and Central Asia tours. Hasmik, my main contact at Arara was very helpful throughout the booking process, tour arrangements and communication. Very efficient and responsive. We had great guides in all the countries, Serdar in Turkmenistan, Olga in Uzbekistan, Sophie in Georgia and Raffi in Armenia were the greatest, though the others were also very lovely and knowledgeable. Our small group of 10 travelers got on really well together, thank you Arara for gathering such lovely people from around the world. The trip was well organised, domestic flights, train tickets, border crossings were long but our guides were helpful. Drivers were good, though none of them spoke English. Some hotels were 4* even though we chose the 3* option, Arara upgraded our group to 4* hotels in some areas which allowed us to have a good rest after long days, thank you for that. The countries were amazing, very authentic and off the beaten track. I hope more people become interested in visiting these countries, as they are all unique with stunning architecture, history, culture and most importantly people. Thank you for the hard work Hasmik and Arara! This was a lifetime experience. Will highly recommend Arara Tours. 

Dear Rima, 

As promised, I am sending you my feedback on the Silk Road Tour. We had an amazingly organized tour. You were supper helpful with your informative and follow up emails. Guides and drivers were ok, we did not have any issues with them, the same is with hotels. They were nice and clean with delicious breakfast. Please tell Arthur who was our guide one more time that we enjoyed our time with him. I am sure this was right choice of a tour package in terms of days and countries included in it. We have seen many monasteries, mosques, churches and fortresses. We experienced cultures, cuisines, which trust me is quite delicious. I recommend Arara tour to anyone who is looking for a company that can organize a vacation perfectly. 

With Love, 

Charlotte.

Hello Hayku, 

I hope all is well with you. The trip to the 5 Stans was really great! As it was my second booking with Arara after the Caucasus trip I had no doubt you will take care of us and arrange a wonderful experience. I am really grateful for your efforts. The trip met our expectations and we are super happy we visited this part of the world. I wish we could spend more time in Khiva, it was a very lovely town. The dinner at Darvaza crater and the sunset were fantastic, we loved this part of the tour. Theresa and I loved Samarkand. The guides were all good, though I would highlight Serdar in Turkmenistan and Maria in Kyrgyzstan. They were super caring and knowledgeable. Our fellow travelers were all great, we spent a fantastic time with them. I like that your groups are small, it makes us feel comfortable and makes the communication between the participants and guides easy. 

Thank you again for the wonderful trip. 

Best wishes to you and Arara Daniel and Theresa Kenneth
