TRIP REVIEWS (13)

Ana Petrou

Zara we are back home, for which I am sad for the first time in my life. What an amazing journey it was! Big thanks to you, our guides Tom and Ara, the hotels staff for such a memorable experience. I have shared our impressions with my friends and colleagues already, some already asked for your contacts for their future trip to these 2 fantastic countries. Arara Tour is the first local company I took a tour from, but one of the best tour operators I dealt with. Thanks for the quick and easy communication, planning and attention to every single detail. I liked both hotels – Tbilisi Inn and Cascade, perfect location, close to all main sites and restaurants in the center.
 Unfortunately we couldn’t see the inside of the Mother Cathedral in Armenia as it was under re-construction, from outside it was really impressive. Thank you again!

Silvi and Arthur

No words would describe my gratitude towards the Arara tour company. Thank you for putting together the excellent package of hotels, sites and food. The hotels in both countries were very comfy with nice service, lovely breakfast, and the staff who were always there for us.

Both our drivers were so punctual, careful and attentive.

We greatly enjoyed the city tour in Yerevan: Cascade complex excursion, wine tasting in Areni. Believe me you will try the tastiest wine here.

Our guide in Georgia was really funny, he had really good recommendations about the restaurants where to have lunch and dine, the places which gave us the historic atmosphere.

My brother and I are really satisfied with the tour.
