Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia in 21 days

Hi Lilit, We are home and still reminiscing about our trip. I'm recommending it to all my friends who travel. We had a fabulous time and I appreciate all you did to help make the trip a success. It exceeded my expectations. All of the guides were excellent. A special shout out to Tazo who balanced guiding with giving us private time and added sites where he thought we may enjoy seeing something. I also appreciated Vardan's deep knowledge and his recommendation to see Matenadaran which was special and a great way to spend our free day. The days had the right pace and were filled with interesting sites and experiences. We saw so much in each country and got a true appreciation of each. Baku was a nice surprise because I wasn't expecting such sophistication and beautiful architecture. Tbilisi had a more European old city feel while Yerevan was very welcoming and energetic with lots of great restaurants. The mountains and scenery in both Georgia and Armenia were amazing and I really loved having breakfast from the top of the Paris Hotel with Mount Ararat in the background. All of the hotels were great. I am glad we chose the 4 star option. The meals included in the tour were all delicious. We got to try a lot of local foods and wines and miss them now that we're home. I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes to travel. It is not on most American's lists yet but I think it will be in the near future. A lot of my friends were concerned about safety since they didn't know much about the region but I felt 100% safe the entire trip. In fact, I felt safer than I had on many of our other trips even walking around at night in Tbilisi and Yerevan. Again, thank you for your work on this and I hope to return to the region again. All the best, Pat

Frankly, our choice was between a 17-day tour package to Caucasus and 21 days one, but after discussing the details of the trip a little with our coordinator Hasmik from AraraTours, we came to the conclusion that this tour package suited us better and we were not mistaken in our choice. For those who want to immerse themselves in the culture of all three countries, closely and thoughtfully explore them without hussle, this is definitely the best choice, which I highly recommend. Stunning views, professional guides, delicious food and three completely different cultures! Definitely one of the best trips of my life.

I was truly concerned about booking this trip last minute, about a week prior to the departure date and I am absolutely impressed how fast the communication went with your company. My tour manager Ruslan also helped me with the airfare booking.  I am so happy I was able to go on this trip and enjoyed it to the fullest. The guides and the drivers were top notch and the monuments we saw were so beautiful, some of them were recognized as a world heritage by UNESCO. Our guide in Azerbaijan was good, though sometimes it was a bit hard to understand her due to her English accent, but we weren’t bothered by that as she spared no effort to answer our same questions multiple times. Sophie, our guide in Georgia, was knowledgeable and caring, we learned a lot about the country and history.

Though we spent a great time in Azerbaijan and Georgia, we have the most special and lovely memories from Armenia tour guided by Raffi, I dare to say one of the best guides we ever had.

Special highlight of the tour was the ride by the longest cable car in the world to Tatev monastery in the south of Armenia. The group members on our tour were all great, we enjoyed spending time together after the day tours.

I really appreciate your work, thanks a lot for this amazing experience.

Best wishes to Arara tours.
