Tour was great. I was most fortunate to have fantastic company with me. We had such a great time together. In addition, the 2 tour leaders, Sophie in Georgia and Rafi in Armenia were terrific. I would certainly recommend Arara as it was a wonderful experience. Regards Sam f

Both countries are home to rich cultural and historical traditions, as well as stunning natural landscapes, and this trip allowed me to explore all of it with ease. The guides, transport, and itinerary were all well-organized and perfectly met my preferences, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish. The knowledgeable guides provided insights into the local culture and history. The guides were the best! Drivers Artek and guide Tazo were outstanding. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
