TRIP REVIEWS (5)

Henry Scott

Thanks to Arara for this marvelous experience and for offering the best itinerary possible, it perfectly met our expectations. I enjoyed every aspect of the program, modern buildings in Baku, the mix of modern and old in Georgia and ancient Armenia. In the beginning we wanted to avoid many monasteries, but once there, we could feel the whole spirituality of the 1st Christian nation. This was truly unexpected.

Jack Waley

At the beginning, we thought 26 days will be tiring but after talking to Sati we have decided to book it with Arara. Everything went good from the beginning till the end, she had chosen guides with perfect knowledge of English and History. Besides, guides were advising us where to eat, where to spend our free time. The hotel were exactly what we have requested, clean, with a nice view. We really enjoyed being in Armenia, its wine, cousin and traditions are marvellous. From now one dolma is my favourite meal, wineries were also interesting. I did know that Armenians were one of the first countries that were making wine. I defiantly recommend this tour package and Arara services to everyone.
Thank you one more time,
your friend from Australia Jack.

We had a wonderful time in the Caucasus with Arara. I would say it’s more than a qualified agency with its fast responses and personal phone calls. I recommend all these three destinations to everyone. The organization, support and help from Sati was invaluable. Overall I can say that guides and drivers in all three counties were great, special thanks to Raffi, it was such a wonderful experience to be accompanied by him. The whole trip was fabulous except for one issue in Azerbaijan, where hotel service is lacking a little bit but I truly hope by the time when we will be back next year they will improve service. Georgia and Armenia were just gorged with full of hidden monasteries, crazy green and lush nature. Hotel in Yerevan Cascade was quite nice with the good stuff. We have been to all touristic spots and this was a lifetime experience.
Thank you,
Ban
