TRIP REVIEWS (24)

Phoebe Abelson

I am delighted to write this review because I can not keep my emotions to myself. I have never traveled outside of North America and I am so happy I did. It was quite an experience. My family was a bit concerned about my tour to a region that far, but with Arara tours I had a peace of mind the whole time. I must say, as someone who loves to take photos, I have taken so many of them during my trip. The hotels were really good and in the city centers, I especially enjoyed the view from Brim hotel. The tour guides were really knowledgeable and good at their work, especially in Georgia and Armenia, and they kindly answered all my questions. They were proud to show their countries and were very enthusiastic while telling the history. Thank you Hasmik for the great recommendations for restaurants and for joining me for dinner. 

Sincerely,

Hello Sati, I loved the tour of Azerbaijan Georgia and Armenia. My favourite country is Armenia. I loved the mountains and countryside. Guide Raffi was full of fun and very knowledgeable. The Armenian people are kind, honest and gentle souls. I bought some beautiful silver jewelry for presents for my family.

So really no big criticism at all. But I will say that I did not like the 3 star hotel in Tel Avi. It was too far away from town, restaurants etc. 

A picnic lunch in the countryside would be nice. I would have liked a stop at one of the small town World War 2 memorials to pay tribute to our allies in WW2.

Once again Sati, thank you so much for organizing a wonderful holiday for me.

With love

Dear Tatev, We have had the best experience travelling from Baku to Yerevan. I shared our wonderful day to day excursion on fb with all my friends and family in Australia and it is fair to say that they all enjoyed our trip. The tour guides have been excellent. All so knowledgeable and approachable. We have been so lucky indeed, so privileged to visit the Caucasus. Not to forget the amazing drivers, navigating their way up and down high mountain roads. Also navigating their way through heavy traffic in the capital cities. I don’t know how they do it......

We will indeed enjoy our last day tomorrow. Reviw on Tripadvisor
