Serdar

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

Hi Hasmik

I just got back from the 31 Days 5 Stans and Caucasus tour, and I have to say it was an amazing experience overall. The guides throughout the trip were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly warm and enthusiastic. I came away with a much deeper understanding of the history and culture of each country we visited.

That being said, I would like to mention that some of the longer drives were a bit exhausting, especially when we were traveling through regions with less developed roads. All in all, the tour was a memorable adventure that provided an immersive experience, thank you for all your help. We would absolutely recommend your agency to friends and family looking for a unique, well-organized trip.

I had doubts for a long time because of the impressive length of this package, but in the end, every second of this trip was fully justified. To plan such a long, intense tour while maintaining adequate pace and balance seemed like something fantastic, but Arara Tours coped with this task at a truly high level. Of course, there were some inconveniences during the trip, as we had domestic flights to move from one Stan to the other, but it was well handled. The hotels in the Caucasus were at better level than the hotels in the Stans, but not too big difference. The guides were good at English and had a deep knowledge of their countries. We enjoyed almost all the guides’ service, but were particularly happy with our guides in Kazakhstan, Georgia and Armenia. After the trip we still keep in touch in a hope that we will be back to your amazing regions in future. Thank you for an unforgettable trip!
