TRIP REVIEWS (2)

Motorbike Group Tour

Guide: Both guides Vahe and Vardan were flexible and were totally focused on great service. These guys are amazing - we were very satisfied.

Car: The bikes were taken good care of and in good condition.

Hotels: Overall I can say that the Hotels were all fine. I’d describe the Best Western in Dilijan as a bit boring (international chain) and their service didn’t correspond to a 4* hotel.

What did you like best? The hotels in Yerevan, Silk Road and Gyumri were my personal highlight, highly recommendable individual and cosy hotels. I really liked them. Even though Arara can influence neither weather nor landscape, it was anyways fantastic!

What could’ve been better? Hotel Nairi in Jermuk wasn’t nice. Arara can’t do anything about the condition of the roads, so let’s just mention it as a side note.

Would you recommend us to your friends and family? Yes!

Motorbike Group

Guide: Two brothers accompanied us as a guide and driver. They were excellent and really gave us a great insight in Armenian history, culture and more!

Driver: see above

Car: Yamaha XT Motorrad

Hotels: see below

What did you like best? A great country right on a historic turning point (revolution) and hospitable people! Going off-road and driving along small roads is the best way getting to know Armenia.

What could’ve been better? Some of the hotels didn’t correspond to what we’ve expected.

Would you recommend our company to your friends? Definitely, without a doubt. Arara Tour and Ms. Pessl - we’d like to see more of your service!
