Carolyn Hardman

We had this trip in mind for a long time and could finally accomplish it with Arara Tour this spring. Both me and my friend are good hikers and conquering Azhdahak pick was a great achievement. Our guide Antuan was very professional, caring and enthusiastic throughout the whole trip. He was too punctual and started the tours early in the morning for us to have the best views during the day at every destination. We enjoyed camping organized quite nicely at Blue lake and Vank lake. We were provided with lunch boxes and dinners during all camping days which made it very comfortable for us. And we experienced some unforgettable views in the mornings with a cup of hot coffee.
Our time in Armenia left us with many beautiful lifetime memories. Once again many thanks Arara and everyone involved in the company for this amazing trip.
