TRIP REVIEWS (24)

Camilla Bain

I just returned from the Highlights of Armenia and Georgia tour, and it honestly felt like the tour of a lifetime. From the moment I landed in Yerevan, everything was perfectly organized. The team at Arara was professional, responsive, and thoughtful, I felt well taken care of from day one. Each day brought something new and unforgettable: walking through ancient monasteries like Echmiadzin and Geghard, tasting wine in Areni, and riding the Wings of Tatev. Crossing into Georgia felt seamless, and the energy of Tbilisi gave the trip a new rhythm.The guides in both Armenia and Georgia were outstanding , knowledgeable, passionate, and kind. Rafi is a very special guide, who is specific. The transportation was comfortable, the accommodations were lovely.

If you’re looking for more than a typical tour, this is it. I’m so grateful to Arara for making it all happen. Highly recommended, I’ll never forget this trip.

I joined the Highlights of Armenia and Georgia tour and had an amazing experience from start to finish. I was traveling solo but felt completely comfortable, as everything was well organized by Arara and Hasmik. Our Georgian guide was very. I especially enjoyed the local food and wine, the tasting at Khareba winery was a highlight! I would definitely recommend Arara to anyone looking to explore Armenia and Georgia in a thoughtful and memorable way.
