Silk Road Tour to 5 Stans and the Caucasus

Hi Hasmik

I just got back from the 31 Days 5 Stans and Caucasus tour, and I have to say it was an amazing experience overall. The guides throughout the trip were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly warm and enthusiastic. I came away with a much deeper understanding of the history and culture of each country we visited.

That being said, I would like to mention that some of the longer drives were a bit exhausting, especially when we were traveling through regions with less developed roads. All in all, the tour was a memorable adventure that provided an immersive experience, thank you for all your help. We would absolutely recommend your agency to friends and family looking for a unique, well-organized trip.

Our Silk Road tour was truly life-enriching and exceeded all our expectations. Starting in Kazakhstan, we were captivated by the stunning natural beauty. The architectural wonders of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva in Uzbekistan were awe-inspiring, showcasing the rich history of the Silk Road. In Armenia, we appreciated exploring one of the world’s earliest Christian countries. The journey to Georgia's wine region, Kakheti, was a highlight. Sampling local wines and wandering through sun-drenched vineyards was a memorable experience. The Mud Volcanoes in Gobustan Reserve were another unique marvel. This 31-day adventure through Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia offered a fascinating blend of cultures and traditions. From vibrant bazaars and UNESCO sites to delicious Armenian and Georgian cuisine, the tour provided a deep dive into the region’s rich heritage. Arara’s exceptional planning made this an unforgettable journey.

Overall the entire tour was really great, especially traveling with a young 7 year old, we found the guides, the drivers, the entire set up to be very relaxed, accommodative and easy going.

The quality of transportation, and the knowledge and friendliness of the guides was very good.

We particularly would like to thank our tour manager who was just so patient and wonderful in addressing our questions and fears before the trip, and we absolutely loved our time in Central Asia. Highly recommend the Arara tour company! They were thoroughly professional.
