I just returned from the "Highlights of Armenia and Georgia" tour organized by Arara Tour, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From start to finish, everything was impeccably arranged. Hasmik was incredibly attentive and made sure my 10-day journey was tailored to my interests, including visits to the stunning Echmiadzin Cathedral and the ancient Armenian Stonehenge. Our guide, Mr. Artur, was exceptional—his knowledge of both Armenia and Georgia was impressive, and he was always ready with interesting facts and helpful tips. The only hiccup was a minor mix-up with our hotel reservation in Tbilisi, but Hasmik promptly resolved the issue, and we were upgraded to a better room! I’m already planning my next trip with Arara Tour!
