Classical Tour to Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan

Overall we enjoyed the trip and thank you for your organisation of the programme. For us the highlights were the religious sites, especially in Armenia and Georgia. The guides were excellent. The Ararat Hotel in Yerevan presented some problems for some of our party, as you know. For us we liked the position and felt the hotel had many positive points, but perhaps with a more hands on management things could be better. Some aspects of the room were not too good……loose wash basin, cracked floor tiles and the slightly hard mattresses. The restaurant we ate in the first evening and the food was good. Unfortunately it was closed the 2nd evening and for the rest of the time we found excellent restaurants nearby. The lounge/bar area lacked atmosphere and was hardly used and the bar staff had to be found to order a drink. These are small things that can easily be addressed and make hotel a really good place to be.

We did feel (and this is a personal thing) that the programme in Azerbaijan was a little heavy with some very long days (8.am to 6.pm) and thus gave little time for a restful evening. We realise that to see some of the sites it was necessary to start early and drive for several hours. As I say this is a personal consideration.

We do feel that we have seen many amazing sights and experienced so much. We have very fond memories of Yerevan and the happy family groups we saw enjoying the fountains. Everywhere we went we felt safe and found people friendly and helpful.

Once again, many thanks for all your work in organising the trip.

Please pass on our best wishes to Arthur in Yerevan.

Excellent programme. Guides were excellent especially Arthur in Yerevan and Sophie in Georgia. Personally felt that some of the days, especially in
Azerbaijan, were long giving little time to relax in the evening. This isn't helped by the high temps. We also felt that though the guide in
Azerbaijan was good, he gave too much detailed information which it was impossible to take in (his intro' on the mini bus from the border was 50 mins non
stop!). In all other aspects he was a good guide.

Our Caucuses Tour of Armenia, Georgia & Azerbaijan was fabulous! We saw many amazing places & experienced so much. We had different drivers & guides in each country. They had there own individual strengths & areas of expertises. Anie, our guide in Armenia was excellent. Guides in Georgia & Azerbaijan were very good. Hotels were all good. Arara Tours organisation of tour was also good. They were accommodating to our needs & requests. We would recommend them.
