TRIP REVIEWS (45)

Alicia Todd

Hello Hasmik,

Now that we’re back home and have had a moment to reflect, we just wanted to reach out and thank you for the beautiful journey through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia.

The itinerary was very planned— covering the most beautiful and important sites. Each country offered something unique, and the pace was just right. We especially enjoyed visiting the villages like Nij and Sheki, walking through the historic monasteries like Sanahin and Noravank, and getting to know local traditions in Kakheti and Dilijan.

All accommodations were comfortable, and the transitions across borders went generally smoothly. Azerbaijan-Georgia border crossing was more challenging but fine as we did not pack much. Please pass our thanks to all the local guides and drivers—they were excellent throughout. They were very helpful in terms of suggesting us the best restaurants for lunch and dinner.

This tour deepened our understanding of the region and left us inspired. Thank you for your professionalism and support during the whole tour and prior.

Warm regards,

Alicia Todd

Dear Florena,

Yes, we are safely back home and already miss the wonderful weather in the Caucasus.

Thank you so much for organizing the best tour we've ever taken! The 17-day Caucasus trip was packed with stunning places, rich history, and warm hospitality. We loved how we moved from the modern vibe of Baku to the charming streets of Tbilisi, and then into the spiritual heart of Armenia.

Some absolute highlights:

  1. The fire mountain at Yanardag—what a surreal sight!
  2. Wine tasting in Khareba's underground tunnels
  3. The unforgettable drive to Gergeti—those mountains!
  4. Tatev Monastery with the Wings of Tatev cable car—wow!
  5. Relaxing in Jermuk and the peaceful walks in Dilijan

Everything went smoothly thanks to your wonderful coordination. We truly felt cared for every step of the way. The guides were terrific, specifically Ani in Armenia and Sophi in Georgia.

This was my first trip with a local company, and certainly not the last. I am planning my 5 Stans trip with you next year. Will contact shortly when I have a clear number of friends joining me.

Best wishes

Jonathan

Hi Hayku,

We just wanted to say a big thank you for the incredible 17-day journey through the Caucasus! From the moment we landed in Baku to our final day in Yerevan, everything was so well-organized and seamless. The diversity of landscapes, cultures, and cuisines was beyond our expectations.

We especially loved the balance between nature and history—climbing up to Gergeti Trinity Church with that stunning backdrop, exploring the cave city of Vardzia, and wandering through the peaceful monasteries of Armenia like Haghpat and Geghard.

Your attention to detail and prompt assistance made our tour more exciting and relaxed. We also want to thank our guides and drivers throughout the journey—they were knowledgeable, friendly, and really added a local touch.

We’re already recommending Arara to our friends back home!
